- - - SCARS OF HELL - - -
The hour of doom is here
Unfolding, remolding
Garrotting the Philistine
Berating this hopeless
Frankenstein
With religious tongues
Apocalyptic kiss
Straight from the abyss
Avenging the lepers
Long since dead in the mists
Lightning strikes on hands of death
Enlighten, unsightly
Harrowing the charlatan
Avowing my tragic
Curse again
Many times henceforth
Gothic and Gnostic
Sever the ties to Heaven
Goddamn necromantic
Frozen at the rise of vermin
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Paint a picture before the fall
When I bore the holy light
Long before the mantle of night
Dread siren songs on cruel lips
Her incest, dead caress
Heralding the devilish
Invading her maiden
Head, a wish
Escaped from her heart
My crucifixion vain
Blackened with a stain
Attempting genocide
Eradicate the taint
But, still, I could not love her
Faith resides, deep inside
Whispering of angels
Resounding like thunder
Webs strangle
The hope lost within
Magic so tragic
The sacraments made in Hell
Showcase necrophilic
Sipping from the unholy grail
Devil, devil in the glass
Gather within the blackest mass
Free me from these sands of mine
I have been condemned for all time
Shoulder the weight of the world
As they pound the nails deeper
To see the light of Heaven
You must bare the scars of Hell
Gothic and Gnostic

As they pound the nails deeper
To see the light of Heaven
You must bare the scars of Hell

Shoulder the weight of the world
As they pound the nails deeper
To see the light of Heaven
You must bare the scars of Hell
light of heaven
scars of hell
