[Music by Ihsahn and Samoth.] 

[4:30] 

Once our lord has come again, 

all black hearts will celebrate 

the darksome fiend 

in the kingdom of sorrow. 

Nocturnal fiends, 

the beings of the night and shadows 

calling forth the pure spirit 

of the night. 

Our reign may come secretly. 

Your Lord's castle is gone. 

His glory is no more, 

and nothing can stop the purifying. 

They remember how you conjured 

all those years of sorrow. 

Blasting winds of darkness conquer. 

Dark lords and their minions coming through. 

Hate and sin to remain. 

Empty hearts fearing thy name. 

Darkness hammers through on the priests. 

Darkness hammers forward on the cross. 

Servants of God, we will desecrate your coward race 

with darkness. 

Darkness hammers through on the priests. 

Darkness hammers forward on the cross. 

Servants of God, we will desecrate your coward race 

with darkness. 

Once our lord has come again, 

all black hearts will celebrate 

the darksome fiend 

in the kingdom of sorrow. 

When he returns his spirits must choose purity. 

When he conquers kingdoms of death 

our dead shall all reign again. 

Our reign may come secretly. 

Your Lord's castle is gone. 

His glory is no more, 

and nothing can stop the purifying. 

They remember how you conjured 

all those years of sorrow. 

Awakened from the shadows to create. 

Riding with me and with all his chosen. 

Our lord to be has come again. 

Riding from the past. 

Little you know your life fades.
