Lyrics:



A scarlet sunset

the threshold to nightplay

A sinful oath is to be sworn

A beckoning bloodlust

among the seekers

Tyrranic hunger yearns



A gathering in flames and fires-

Devil's daughters dance

Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd-

Longing for dark desires



The nocturnal beast appears

in an evil despotic shape

Expectant watching gracelessly

before demanding the sluts of lust

(the Beast:)

"Come forth harlots, let's begin!"

(the Beast approaches:)

"Rise and give praise in front of Me

and receive eternal life from Me!

Welcome my spirit in honor of Me!

So drink of the blood I provide you

and you shall all forever wander in

the shadows of death...!"

(the chanting whores:)

"Oh yes, Master! Let us receive

Thine offer and drink with Thee!

And become a part of Thy realm

with lust, sex and sodomy-

for we are those who seek life eternally...!"

(the Beast:)

"Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"
