Ancient Spirit Of The Underworld Lyrics

Overhead the thunder cracked and roared

 And when it ceased the deathlike silence

 Chilled my marrow and bones

 The need to feel dead was killing him

 

 Like death itself

 Evil is found in the earliest

 Oldest and the most dreadful

 Memories of humanity

 Eternally feared by gods primitive men

 

 Pale visions, death-pale they were all

 Still cursed, haunted and alone

 Killing woman, children and men

 Sparing neither age nor sex

 

 A place where reality is worthless

 And all you want is to be left alone

 They grind the land like corn

 Showing no mercy

 Spilling the blood like rain

 Devouring their flesh and sucking

 Dry their veins...

 

 The undead leaves their graves

 In misty transformations

 You see half-visible bodies

 Floating through the night

 The ancient spirits of the underworld

 

 [REPEAT VERSE 1]

 

 All the trees were lifeless and dead

 And there were no birds singing

 The reign of man is over

 Drained for all its powers

 

 He saw their starving lips shake

 With a horrid grin gaped wide

 And the corpse lies on the cold hill side

 His spirit is carried away

 By the northwinds into eternity
