Through midnight skies on desert winds
Bearing tidings of warfare
Of endless pestilence familiar to the darkened one
Empowering thelemite sign immortalize
We bow to none
Weak Christian lepers are fading fast
En hungered beaks accept their flesh
Necrotic skin dissolving
The Devil's will be looming
A reach ever boundless and omnipotent
With radiance, the hell bird soars
Anathematizing victims
Curse them with hatred from our lord
On wings of blackened grandeur ride
Envenoming our weaponry with
Supernatural strength we strike
Sad Christian failures to fade at last
Be winged fiends consume what's left
Necrotic skin erupting
The dark lord he's laughing
Your father forsaken faithlessly
Suffer endlessly
Bird of omens
Ill harbinger of blight
The raven waits with vengeance in his sights
Do as thou wilt is the whole of our law
This world befallen within blackened claws
Quarantined, contaminated
Destitute camps of putrefying
Grace plague on this world
Eliminated raven returns
Reeking of their mass graves
♪
Harken to his voice
Uphold our blackened creed
Their god be dead
Bird of omens
Ill harbinger of blight
The raven waits with hatred in his eyes
