Armageddon
Bathory Lyrics

I swear the oath of blood
I make a solemn promise using blood as a symbol of my sincerity

And tear the virgin's flesh
I mutilate a young woman's body

I gash the wounds of heaven
I inflict harm on the divine realm

And rides the wings of death
I embrace death and become one with its power.

Tonight the cauldrons are filled
Today, we prepare for a dark ritual by brewing a concoction full of hate,

With brewage made of hate
a potion that reflects our sense of malice towards others.

Tonight we blasphemy
we show contempt for religious teachings and commit sacrilegious acts.

Possessed we desecrate
we defile holy places or objects under the influence of a malevolent force within us.

Tonight we raise our cups
we lift our cups filled with the blood of an angel in celebration

And toast in an angels blood
we honor our allegiance to Satan and celebrate his victory over God

Salute hell's victory
we show our respect for the triumph of the underworld over the realm of heaven.

Despise the words of God
we show disregard for God's commandments and holy teachings.

Armageddon
we embrace a vision of the end of times full of calamity, destruction, and chaos.

Eternal battlefields
we envision a dreadful landscape where death is omnipresent

No prisoners we take
we show no mercy towards our enemies, who are treated as irredeemable and subhuman.

We rape your sacred souls
we violate the innermost essence of our enemies' beings, causing them irreparable damage.

Behind the seven gates
we enter the underworld and cause destruction in all its layers.

Tonight you all will hear
We will make our presence known in a way that all mortals will take notice

The angels cry of pain
the divine beings suffer, unable to stop our onslaught

And in the sky you will see
all signs in the heavens signify our victory.

The all eternal flame
the hellish inferno will consume your souls, where you will suffer eternal damnation

On earth you mortal fools
those who follow the christian faith are derided as gullible and naive.

Obey the christian ways
Those mortals following the way of god are mere puppets who blindly follow the word of their lord.

But there is no mighty God
the ruler of the heavens is powerless to stop our advance.

To hear your final prayers
when you face your final judgment, there is no divine intervention that can save you.

Forks of lightning strikes in the sky
The heavens themselves are enraged and expressing their hostility towards this ungodly provocation.

The sound of thunder rolls
The environment surrounding us shows signs of upheaval to underscore the severity of our actions

Satan, chimes the bell of death
The overlord of hell is announcing the end of times as well as personal judgments,

And beckon all your souls
Beckoning them to our final path to damnation

Heaven's angels realizes
The divine beings experience a horrified moment of lucidity about the grim reality of our dark doings

There is no place they can hide
The angels have no correct answer to counteract our punishment

Tonight the furnace gates of hell
We initiate the opening of the gates of hell to permit souls in from the overlying world.

Stands open wide
The gateway to damnation is now available and easily accessible.

Black witch of beauty
A sorceress of unparalleled beauty joins us to enforce our dark will.

Hovers around and cast her spells
She moves around in a magical way, casting harmful spells that cause us to gain an advantage.

Tonight a virgin's womb
The time has come for the birth of a new, cursed life

Shall breed a son of hell
This night a new, malevolent presence will emerge into the world, destined to spread chaos and destruction at every turn.

Armageddon
The end of times is near, and this song is our celebration of the darkness that is to come.
