LYRICS
EXISTING ON DAMNATIONS EDGE
THE PRIEST HAD NEVER KNOWN
TO WITNESS SUCH A VIOLENT SHOW
OF POWER OVERTHROW
ANGELS FIGHTING AIMLESSLY
STILL DYING BY THE SWORD
OUR LEGION KILLING ALL IN SIGHT
TO GET THE ONE CALLED LORD
THE GATES OF HELL LIE WAITING AS YOU SEE
THERE'S NO PRICE TO PAY JUST FOLLOW ME
I CAN TAKE YOUR LOST SOUL FROM THE GRAVE
JESUS KNOWS YOUR SOUL CAN NOT BE SAVED
CRUCIFY THE SO CALLED LORD HE SOON SHALL FALL TO ME
YOUR SOULS ARE DAMNED YOUR GOD HAS FELL TO SLAVE FOR ME ETERNALLY
HELL AWAITS
THE REAPER GUARDS THE DARKENED GATES
THAT SATAN CALLS HIS HOME
DEMON FEED THE FURNACE WHERE
THE DEAD ARE FREE TO ROAM
LONELY CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
THERE'S SEVEN WAYS TO GO
EACH LEADING TO THE BURNING WHOLE
THE LUCIFER CONTROLS
PRIEST OF HADES SEEK THE SACRED STAR
SATAN SEES THE ANSWER LIES NOT FAR
ZOMBIES SCREAMING SOULS CRY OUT TO YOU
SATANIC LAWS PREVAIL YOUR LIFE IS THROUGH
PRAY TO THE MOON...WHEN IT IS ROUND
DEATH WITH YOU SHALL THEN ABOUND
WHAT YOU SEEK FOR...CAN'T BE FOUND
IN SEA OR SKY OR UNDERGROUND
NOW I HAVE YOU DEEP INSIDE
MY EVERLASTING GRASP
THE SEVEN BLOODY GATES OF HELL
IS WHERE YOU'LL LIVE YOUR LAST
WARRIORS FROM HELL'S DOMAIN
WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR DEATH
THE FLAMES OF HADES BURNING STRONG
YOUR SOUL SHALL NEVER REST
THE GATES OF HELL LIE WAITING AS YOU SEE
THERE'S NO PRICE TO PAY JUST FOLLOW ME
I CAN TAKE YOUR LOST SOUL FROM THE GRAVE
JESUS KNOWS YOUR SOUL CAN NOT BE SAVED
SACRIFICE THE LIVES OF ALL I KNOW THEY SOON SHALL DIE
THEIR SOULS ARE DAMNED TO ROT IN HELL AND KEEP THE FIRE GROWING DEEP INSIDE
HELL AWAITS
