Inheritor of a dying world Wanderer in the wild darkness Enter now this shadowed path The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent's mark O companion of the fetid tomb Foul specter, of the greedy grave Inheritor of a dying world Enter now this shadowed path To seek the light Dost thou find hope in works of mortality? Art thou awed by matter's seeming might? Behold! The fruition of long ages toil A paradise for fools!! The earth aswarm With maggot man and tottering in ruin! The gates of death swing wide in fateful glory Greeting the throngs of pallid life's abortion The affliction of Saturnus grips the heart In leaden chains Inherit a world of dust! Here is no solace, no earth-born respite For those who bear the serpent's mark Inheritor of a dying world Inheritor of a dying world... Arise, and greet the dawning light of Phosphoros
