[interlude [verse 3] Shadows whisper, break the seal, Gods of old now twist and kneel. Mirror worlds in dark unite, Left is right and black is white. [pre-chorus] Speak the words in reverse tongue, Fire rises, chains undone. [chorus] Backwards is the way to see, Satan’s light will set you free. Crosses shatter, hymns decay, Hell’s the path—come walk this way. [refrain] (Oh-oh-oh) The night won’t lie, (Oh-oh-oh) Truth burns the sky. [verse 4] Blood ink writes the hidden name, Flames rewrite the holy game. Clock hands spin to meet the past, Future’s death is here at last. [bridge] Dance the spiral, eat the sun, Nothing’s lost—it’s all begun. [chorus] Backwards is the way to see, Satan’s light will set you free. Crosses shatter, hymns decay, Hell’s the path—come walk this way. [outro]
