In shadows deep, where secrets lie, Under moon’s cold, unholy eye. The sacred rites, the hidden flame, In ancient tongue, I speak the name. Ego tenebris, ego lucem, Per flammam sanguis, per noctem. I am the fire, I am the sin, By devil’s breath, I draw you in. Ashen smoke, the sacred bell, From mortal bones, we conjure hell. Dark priests chant in circles round, By night’s embrace, the cursed are bound. Ego tenebris, ego lucem, Per flammam sanguis, per noctem. By blood and oath, I seal the vow, I am the darkness, here and now. Whispered prayers to gods of old, In tongues unseen, the pact unfolds. Lux Aeterna, turned to shade, In darkness born, in silence laid. Blinded faithful, now decay, Led astray by paths of grey. From holy chains, we pull them free, In rites of night, we cease to be. Ego tenebris, ego lucem, Per flammam sanguis, per noctem. I am the gate, I am the key, To realms of dark divinity. In fire’s end and ash’s birth, Through midnight’s veil, we curse the earth. From sin and smoke, I draw my breath— In Satan’s name, I welcome death.
