Paradise Lost
Album - 23 agosto 1991 - Debaser id 251809

In Hell s corrupt and sunken halls the rising shall begin,
The bane of man immortal - the parade of broken dead.
With greed our worldly master, so now pain will be our guide,
As the fallen ones await us all to welter by their side.

Iron dreams of human jackals and our final fate is cast -
To slave in endless fire as you cringe before the lash.
Blinded by the darkness, as you pray for his return.
But in your soul you fear he s just another one who'll burn.

With greed our worldly master, now pain will be our guide,
As the fallen ones await us all to welter by their side.
Iron dreams of human jackals - our final fate is cast,
To slave in endless fire, as you cringe before the lash.

Does evil lie in waiting to extract his heavy toll.
Will bowing to the pulpit bring the cloven to their goal,
But if he s the work of mankind, and the beast our morbid dream,
This dying planet is our heaven, and our hell remains the same.

The Doomed One's fallen armies sound the tolling of the bell
while Sin and Death stand silent guard outside the gates of Hell
he slowly spreads his leather wings and soars above the land
he strokes his pointed beard and casts an evil eye toward Man

Chaos rising
chaos rising

Unchains the dogs of chaos to complete his evil chore
to make the cringing herd of Man his thralls by right of war
they gorge on fatal fruit, taste of dust and bitter ash
while fire burns in Heaven and immortal forces clash

Chaos rising
chaos rising

The smell of burning brimstone, lightning flung from golden hands
to rule without a master is the only dream of Man
as they swap our souls among them and prepare the final feast
begin the war eternal, cast aside both God and Beast

Chaos rising
chaos rising

Moving toward the evil song that fate will sadly sing
how the pride of Man has fallen, crowning lust their only king
Heaven screams in anguish and the world cries out in pain
unleash the final terror, Man begins his now doomed reign

Chaos rising
chaos rising

Chaos rising
chaos rising
chaos rising
chaos rising

Moving toward the evil song that fate will sadly sing.
How the pride of man has fallen, crowning lust their only king
Heaven screams in anguish and the world cries out in pain.
Unleash the final terror- man begins his now doomed reign.

False prophets spread their cursed rule across the poisoned land,
Why must we always choose to put our fate in reckless hands?
Fingers poised on Armageddon, dare they make the fatal move,
And send this dying planet hurling headlong to the tomb.

Broken leaders mark the twisted path that mankind chose.
Final judgement is upon us, vengeance rains its fearful blows.
So we hurl our prayers toward heaven, surely they will heed the call -
But soulless skies just echo with the screams of mankind s fall.
