To Be Reborn

Au nom du père, dites-moi l'enfant où fait votre extrémité de croyance

Et votre folie commencent?

In the name of the father, tell me child where does your

Belief end and your madness begin?

Why do the shadows hold your attention

And yet you shun the light?

The pleasures exceed the purity, the vengeance becomes

The sword that you fall upon, the shield no longer protector

Of the righteous and true, the creator eternal

Denounced by you!

Before I lay thee down to sleep, before thy eyes I close,

Before your rebirth into me,  before in black your clothed,

Accept this mark I place on thee, the sign of the chosen one,

Wait patiently for my return,  for I will surely come.

Revealing claws and teeth so sharp, into flesh I remove your heart,

The soul encased by shadows cast, the spirit fast departs.

Tell me child why on you I must feast, a banquet for this hell born beast,

Submit complete and tell me why,

On wings of angels demons fly?

In death an end of life once lived, arise once more

Unto this path I give, replacing Virtue with angst and pain,

Demonic angel begin thy reign!
