BLACK SEPTEMBER LYRICS

1. The Forbidden Gates Beyond

Fortify for war at days final light
Realms of death await
Feed into the silence
Behold the beast
Death is little more
My ascension denied
He shall feed on wisdom and valor
Through me is the way into the suffering city
Claims of second death
Through me the way into eternal grief
Enclosed by flame search for sacred light
Amid legions of blood and tear streamed faces
The dark earth convulsed
We moved to the gates beyond
Out of the quiet
Into the trembling air
I have come to a place absent of light
An icon of cruelty and guilt at the gate
And in such a moment destruction was sewn
Ravenous thunder beckons our pace as we descend
Accursed wolf feast upon yourself with rabid hunger
Hymns of despair deep in their throats
The eternal fire in the valley below stains the city walls
Fortify for war at days final light
Realms of death await
Feed into the silence

2. Creation Of Chaos

A voice thundered in the distance
The abyss below held a swarm of serpents and men
Men of blood and anger
Bound by creatures of misery and venom
Blasphemous rage erupted toward the heavens above
A serpent assault enclosed the life
Creation of chaos
Rebirth as a beast of man
Wound upon wound
Shadow suppressed
Creation of chaos
Rebirth as a beast of man
A remade serpent of sin returns to the vile mass
Binding the human form
Encased by darkness and flame
A feral soul hissing in the thriving legion
Bound to the mass of pain
Confined in the surging horde
Buried but breathing
A serpent assault enclosed the life
Creation of chaos
Rebirth as a beast of man
Wound upon wound
Shadow suppressed
Creation of chaos
Rebirth as a beast of man

3. Hallow Of Decay

[Instrumental]

4. Tyrants

The abyss poured off the upper rim of the high bank
Down to a river of blood
The infamy gnawed his own flesh
The foul depth shook
The world has been steered back to chaos
What torment has brought you to this vile land
His own blood an instrument of vengeance
Drenched in blood and plunder
Lend us one who can tame our passage
To the forest of poison thorns
One who fears naught cruelty and death
Pass to the edge of the unknown
Come now death
Come at once
I prepare my final passage
The end is near
Come now death
Come at once
Descending into black air
The end is near
Lend us one who can tame our passage to the forest of poison thorns
What torment has brought you to this vile land
His own blood an instrument of vengeance
Numbers drenched in the vast ditch
These were tyrants who spent their lives drenched in blood and plunder
Lend us one who can tame our passage to the forest of poison thorns
One who fears naught cruelty and death
Pass to the edge of the unknown
Come now death
Come at once
I prepare my final passage
The end is near
Come now death
Come at once
Descending into black air
The end is near

5. Tombs

Crashing forth upon the soil
Filthy waves gave way to open plains
Immense flakes of fire and ash settled like snow on a windless terrain
Desolation swallows us whole
Tombs lit by single flames
At least you stand alone
Reveal my path
A luminous eye sees all
Tombs lit by single flames
Our knowledge is dead
Our awareness will exist no more once these graves are sealed
The true way is unseen in these shrouds of black
Mark my words a single finger raised to the sky
A shade rose from the depths with a bellow of fear
This blind prison leads astray
The future is sealed
At least you stand alone
Reveal my path
Luminous eyes see all
Tombs lit by single flames
A stench too impure to inhale came from beyond the valley summoning our course
The knowledge is dead
Our awareness will exist no more once these graves are sealed

6. The Absence Of Life And Death

Eyes ahead through the bite of the frozen wind
A tower of form shown through the mist
A triple crowned wing of six pours forth blood fire and death
A malicious serpent piercing the world
The banners of the king of hell advance
Awaken the behemoth with shrieks of hell fire
The time has come
Ride the wings of death through the flaming world
Take the banner on high
Ride the wings of death through the flaming world
We march with no return
Take the banner on high
We march with no return
Born in fire
Primal breath
Banished guide to the cliffs beyond
External exile
We march with no return
Fumes from the river hover overhead like vast shadows
Birds of prey guard the shores
Primal breath fills my lungs
Ride the wings of death through the flaming world
Take the banner on high
Ride the wings of death through the flaming world
We march with no return
Born in fire
Primal breath
Banished guide to the cliffs beyond
Born in fire
Banished guide
External exile
We march with no return

7. Unleashed

The dark holds me without sight
A demigod among flesh
I summon thee with a tongue of flame
For my return release these chains
Bearer of deprived light
Nothing sacred in this skin
Terror in the flesh
Disdain your penance
In slumber I dwell awaiting return
Release me from this tomb
I summon thee with a tongue of flames
For my return release these chains
Hear my cry unleash these chains
I shall be the last to remain
In slumber I dwell awaiting return
Release me from this tomb
I will reclaim what once was ours
Your empire is doomed
Eye for an eye
I shall bring ruination
Eye for an eye
I shall bring ruination
