Dark Forces Lyrics

I study hard into the mid winter night
to these black arts I dedicate my life
and no reward could ever be so sweet
oh my dark lord, when will we meet?

to the furthest hell
I toll this bell
black is the night
perform the rite

the arcane tome
I'll read alone
and sacrifice
to the lord of light

your word spoken to the one
let the devil's will be done
you shall rule among the dead

and as our forces now march on
holy barrier undone
your worth to us is spent

over sacred we tread
ride out from the the depths of hell
cathedrals fall into dust

as the high priest makes the sign
evil visions so divine
their world comes to it's end

poised now at the holy gate
for mankind it is too late
no saviour to lead the blind

and in horror they look on
as dark forces smite the strong
saints will cry tears of blood

poised at the threshold
summoned here tonight
titans of evil
stand at the holy site
legions of earth
cower beneath the cross
begging for mercy
all hope is now lost

riding out from the depths of hell
summoned to creation by the foolish spell
apocalyptic vengeance from the night
