I shall destroy you And bring you to naught This is the era of the serpent Already kindled Is this fire on Earth Fight for the world as my servants Rise! Rise! Rise now, god of this world You shall be most high Rise now, god of this world Rise! I shall smite the earth with a curse Enemies to ashes on the soles of my feet Shedding blood as long as it takes To cease this engine of grief All eyes are open to the rights of Man We will do away With your artificial scaffolding And bring forth new day Here at last we shall be free The Almighty hath not built here for his envy Will not strike us hence Here we may reign secure And in my choice To reign is worth ambition through hell
