Biding time, underground Listen close, you can hear the howl Of something vile, a thirst to quench An animal out for pure revenge In the dark, hatred burns And from the dead, the dead return Ascension, terror reigns Cleanse this curse to begin again Castles fall, bathed in red Excerpt this from the land of dead A pound of flesh, the penalty Step on the neck of the enemy It forced the fate, embrace the power Spill their blood till the final hour In the dark, hatred burns And from the dead, the dead return Ascension, terror reigns Cleanse this curse to begin again Castles fall, bathed in red Excerpt this from the land of dead Ascension (we are ascending) Ascension (we keep ascending) The dying ones still live twice Plague our foes like a poltergeist And from the fire we breathe a fixation of annihilation Ascension, terror reigns Cleanse this curse to begin again Castles fall, bathed in red Excerpt this from the land of dead Ascension (we are ascending) Ascension (this is your ending)
