O god of pestilence, bring down your wrath,
Erase humanity,
Cover our sorrow with your dark energy,
Bury us in our graves,
The sky darkens, the light is dead,
There is no hope for this place,
Life is ended, our memories fade,
Erased humanity.
O plague bearer, O lord of death,
Ride upon your wings of pestilence,
O shadow walker, O priest of pain,
Bestow upon upon your unholy reign,
O satan's son, O light destroyer,
Smite this world with flame.
O plague bearer, lord of death,
Shadow walker, priest of pain,
Satan's son, strike the world with flame.
We praise the dying light, slaves to its will,
We all deserved this fate,
Our vanity, our self deceit, our shame,
Released the plague on me,
The sky darkens, the light is dead,
There is no hope for this place,
Life is ended ,our memories fade,
Erased humanity.
O plague bearer, O lord of death,
Ride upon your wings of pestilence,
O shadow walker, O priest of pain,
Bestow upon us your unholy reign,
O satan's son, O light destroyer,
Smite this world with flame.
