Beast of Death
Ondskapt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beast of death, thy dreaded return
We walk the bridge of death
We now see the bonestorm closing in upon us
The remains of endless cemeteries,
In which we see thy ever so supreme being

Within murder he is present
In rape he is there
Through corruption he works
Through his will I shall serve

To witness the beast is to be reborn in to another time and age
Many cycles of time an d souls have thou taken




Centuries through out of time from the weakness of mankind
Through Thy hunger everlasting
