Rebirth of the Wretched... I Live Again Lyrics

Foul and tainted is my spirit
Aching... suffering... death of ages
Life... circling, circling
Reborn again and again
Will it never end?

Am I the dead forced to live?

Poisonous elixir I consume
Shamanic trance envelops
Traveling the wheel... visions overcome
I open the gateway to the nether realm

Flying above my creation
I unlock doorways of the past
The past so old... yet so familiar
Decrepit ruin of the stone castle walls around me
An iron fence encases a grave
Bust of stone... carry my face

Is this my grave? Am I to live again?

I have arisen from my grave
To wreak havoc upon this world
I will never cease
MY wretched soul that which lives nor dies
Has lived... again!
Returned reek of the 12th century
Memories, my face, these ruins
What does it mean?
Walking through hallways of my empire
Cobweb draped skeletons surround
Did these souls die for me?

My tyranny must not stop!

Now there is purpose
There is meaning
The hate must live on, the suffering must continue

I am the harbinger, I the sickness, I the disease, I am the slayer
