Within these halls unfolds an ancient evil
At the whims of gods, they fall upon their bloody knees
Bloodstains upon the altar
Avarice upon the cross
There is no strength among you
All hope is lost
A funeral pyre of bone and char and ash
Those who follow recklessly will fall upon the lash
The ancient evil condemns the ones who serve
Until the master’s gone, the bodies will burn
Bloodstains upon the altar
Avarice upon the cross
There is no strength among you
All hope is lost
Tread on the path of desperation
Indoctrinate to pacify
