Dawn breaks in acrid fear, the suffering will resume
Bodies scrape across the stone with sand in every wound
Bred in chains and born of tears, the wretched beg may death come soon
Far away in foreign lands, a cruel hand delivers doom
Descend, into the pits of the damned
E spears of the empire; always at hand
Fear and despair under chariots of steel
For all who would live will kneel
Endless days in helpless rage, the whip across the skin
Bow before the exalted sign; the crushing from within
E cost of immortality, ten million souls will share this fate
E monumental vanity bestows a dire undying hate
Descend, into the pits of the damned
The spears of the empire; always at hand
Fear and despair under chariots of fire
Building the throne ever higher
Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast
A fervent prayer from an arid throat
Bereft of all but a thread of hope
The mortal choice by war's demand
To live as slave or die as man
Bleed – for your king – for your God – for your life
Bleed – for your king – for your soul – for all time
Night surrounds with jackal's howls, the shadows hide the horde
For those escaped, horrors await; the twisted beasts of ancient lore
Descend, into the pits of the damned
The spears of the empire; always at hand
Fear and despair under chariots of fire
Building the throne ever higher
Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast
