lyrics

With manes on fire my master unleashed me
I am creator of new beginnings
Through fire in the skies and blood in the streets
Wherever I may come, my name shall be known

Skies are burning
Don't think just hide

From the horsemen
Striding with pride

There's no escape
Nowhere to go
Fire's devouring the life that I know

Plagued by our faith
Too late to atone
Death on us all

All around me
Worshippers chanting their cursed litany

Death and disease
Invoking angels on a killing spree

Metu Mortis
As far as the eye can see
Feasting with their flesh
My instinct takes me further
Chanting his advent
I hear their morbid cry
They call Thanatos

Run Run, don't think just run
Find somewhere safe, before they come
Don't think for a moment to turn back, just run

Madness, all around me
Bodies, piled up, burning
I scream out the last hope left in me

Wake me up

Wake me up

There's nowhere to run

My servants of end times
Into this reckoning day
With death on their side
We keep stalking prey

Before my eyes
Everything stops
The one has come
To take my life

I open my arms and I pray
pray for the sweetest of gifts
Free me from all of this pain
Free me from all of this pain

He's coming closer to me
Lost in his eyes I can see
Pure incarnation of death
Free me from all of this pain

Moments of eternity
I Wait for my eternal sleep
Silent he then walks away
And damns me to live
