Underground in the tomb of the ziggurat Death saves An unholy pact with the dark one Defying laws with visceral abandon One rise as another one falls An eye for an eye, doom for us all The deed is done and the dead stand tall The sky cracks open at the raven's call The skies turn black as the sun is gone In the heart of the eclipse thy will be done A sacrifice made on the altar of stone Flesh to flesh, blood to bone Rising again, a legion of the dead They begin the attack, mounting dread Screams in the night as the villagers fled They only live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end Equilibrium lost by the rising of the dead A curse unveiled in a heiroglyph set Feel the earth start to tremble as the sky turns red The symbols spell doom as the pact is met Lightning strikes in the center of the town In a sea of their own blood they'll drown A plague of insects ravaging profound The sages fled, none left around The prophecy as written, mote it be Revenge of the dead, hanging from a tree A symphony of sorrow as they wail and plead A sea of red as the innocent bleed The sky now ash as lightning bends Immolated souls as flesh be rend Molten fire from hell be sent They only live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end We live long enough to see the end
