Black Fire Upon Us
Dethklok [Metalocalypse] Lyrics

Tonight we ride on clouds of Fire
We are going to embark on a dangerous journey tonight using our magical abilities and powers.

We're damned by Gods, our deaths' conspired
We believe that the gods have decided that we are to die tonight and there is nothing we can do to avoid it.

We fear no mortals in these worlds
We are not afraid of any human beings, as we have powers beyond the capabilities of mere mortals.

The gift we give you is your soul
We are going to take your soul as a sacrifice to some higher power.

The sky Will break Black fire Will wake
The sky will split apart and dark flames will ignite, signaling the beginning of our journey.

Fly On through the night
We will fly swiftly throughout the night.

We built an alliance Our numbers are strong
We have formed a powerful group and our numbers are numerous.

We gather But we don't pray to gods What fools, what lunatics They must think of us
We have gathered tonight, but we don't worship or pray to any gods - we believe those who do are foolish and insane.

On this night we will journey Far beyond this world And you must know that we will never Come back home again
Tonight, we will travel to a far-off realm beyond this world and it is unlikely that we will ever return.

But now we must fly Beasts in the night Tragic in the sky Battlefield in sight
We have no choice but to fly through the night, fighting like savage beasts, as we approach the battlefield.

Storm gathers strong Cold blackened flame Tell us our future Stories of the slain
The storm's strength increases, and it is accompanied by a cold, dark flame. We hope to learn our fate and the tales of those who have died before us.

Fire grows strong Freezing our skin Vision is clouded The rain will begin
Intensity of the fire grows, causing our skin to freeze, and our vision becomes hazy as the rain approaches.

Dangerous creatures Those that oppose us Raped all their power Bartered with warlocks Cheated the demons For ancient spells The blackened fire Waits to consume us
Our enemies are fierce, and they have tried to hinder us by sacrificing their own power and making dark bargains. Ancient magic, represented by the blackened fire, will likely consume us all.

So now we'll say goodbye Because tonight we die So we say goodbye So we'll say goodbye We die
Our final farewell; we are embracing our fate and accepting that we will die tonight.
