The time is marching on and on, The Ancient seed awake with the spirit of the night Shadows, eternal breed of night creeping beasts who dwell Between the line of the living dead Forsaken, by the human misery Lurking creatures, thirsty of blood Drinking from the wine of the undead From the grave, waiting for the moonlight haunted creatures, infamous The Ancient sickle Of the world The Ancient Bells are tolling For the Burial call marking the disgrace with an evening melody The time is marching on and on, The Ancient seed awake with the spirit of the night Night breed older than the man Crimson terror from the stars Enslaved by the shift of the shine of a moonlight ray suffering eternal punishment Reborn and die, night by night Sucking all the blood from nasty wounds From the grave, waiting for the moonlight haunted creatures, infamous The Ancient sickle Of the world for centuries for ever Under the eternal spell the Moonlight ray is rising from the darkness of the north.
