In the shadow-side of life
In a dark and mystic midwinter night
A child was born in ice and frost-like fire
An immortal child, an evil spirit

Before his birth
He walked this earth with hatred and desires
Desires to crush what he hates
In hell he belongs, like the moon in the sky

To grant himself what the unknown knows
He submerged underneath his earthly life
Underneath the surface of this earth
Into the realm of a thousand burning souls
And questioned the elder demons for their ancient wisdom

Oh, mighty demons, evil demons, I am worthy
Speak upon me and grant me your knowledge
So that I can inherit my throne of fire
And reign by your side!

His eyes started to burn, his blood boiled
As a majestic choir spoke upon him
Your wish is granted!

He screamed in tongues unto the mighty demons in rejoice and pain
With the blood of his very own soul
He was baptised in the name of the northern prince of hell
And of all the unclean spirits

Immortal he was, and demonized he became
Uhe prince of darkness was born
The agitator, for the forthcoming humans on earth
Onward to the battle against the ones he despises and hates
His journey now has begun
In heaven this victorious battle will end
Another kingdom will rise from the earth

The kingdom of a thousand burning souls
Humans shall kneel in front of me their master
My word will be their law, enslavement!

Now the war has begun
Tears and blood falls to the frozen and holy ground
The sounding from the swords and screams of angels
Echoes in the war-filled skies

Oh blood and screams
Cries and agony

Demons, I summon you
Hear my hail
Come forth and gather here

We have won, this battle is won
I spit on their cross
This is my realm with a thousand burning souls
Where I shall rule for eternity, it is my destiny!

Let the fire of hell touch the sky!

Spawns of damnation let your spirits fly
Sons of darkness hold your banner high
You divided and conquered with bejewelled hate
We are the proud ones that crushed the holy gate
We slayed with our swords and our lust
Dawn is gone this is the final dusk
Burn the angel-wings with the fire of hell
Drink their holy blood and cast down a spell
The skies are filled with blood and fire
Oh yes, this is my desire
Earth to us, ashes of angels and dust of heaven

In the shadow-side of life
With burning desire

I, Satan's son, was born in frost-like fire
In darkness I belong, like the moon in the sky

Witnessed by the almighty God in heaven
Drowned in the holy blood of angels
He screamed in blasphemous voice
I've crushed the heavenly paradise

Silence surrounded him
Though he heard some beautiful moaning
A whispering but yet so clear

Oh my God, why have you abandoned us?

It was the agonised choir of angels that silently faded away

And God wept
Your God wept!
Yeah, your God, wept
Your God wept!
Your God wept!
Ah, your God wept
Your pathetic God wept!
And God wept
