Lyrics

Spirit In Black

Welcome to my world, involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time at past or present worlds to be
I rule this Inferno, enthroned for eternity

Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black till the end

Spirits damned to rot, amidst the brimstone fireballs
Eyes of the dead watching from their living walls
Broken glass reflections show your flesh eaten away
Beyond the gates I 'll take you where the blood forever rains

Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black till the end

Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black till the end

Afterlife confessions, tell me who you used to be
Looking on in wonder as I show you it was me
Burning from within, you know one spark is all it takes
Hear the piercing cries of all, who found that Hell awaits

Living nightmare, can't you see? You really have no choice
Faded memories haunt you, listen clearly to my voice
Feed me all your hatred, empty all your thoughts to me
I can fill your emptiness with immortality

Welcome to my world, involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time at past or present worlds to be
I rule this Inferno, enthroned for eternity
