Disciples Of Hell In the darkness, they will gather Conjuring the one Burning candles, incantations Human sacrifice Getting drunk from blood, not wine Pointy daggers shine Out of fire, smoke and brimstone The dreaded one will rise Rise...Burn...Rise... Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell Father's a priest and he's casting a spell No one can stop what's already begun Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son Victims of the grand illusion Screams of ecstasy Fools are lost in mass confusion Searching for the key Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell Father's a priest and he's casting a spell No one can stop what's already begun Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son Raise your cup and praise the prince of darkness See the truth of the power within the beast And when the time has come The gates of hell shall open Burning candles, incantations Human sacrifice Out of fire, smoke and brimstone The dreaded one will rise Nobody knows who's the disciples of hell Father's a priest and he's casting a spell No one can stop what's already begun Worshipping darkness and Lucifer's son
