Dark Funeral - Thus I Have Spoken lyrics

Hear me now, let this be the day of reckoning
The gauntlet has been thrown
And the challenge is met
With death-rattle chains
And brimstone from below
I will come with black-hearted rage
And eyes of burning coal
Let the fire burn and blood flow
Let skulls and bones tower up to the heavens
Cloaked in shimmering stellar glow
Radiant with the cosmic light I will come

From the liquid darkness I appear
My unholy fire is needed to cleanse this world
Free from my cursed bounds
I once again will trample the earth

Bound to evil, carrier of Satan's mark
Wherever I will walk, the world will tremble
Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be

Chaos swallows the earth
When I release my Christian hatred
A hatred older than memory
I move across the worlds like a dark plague
Across boundaries unseen
I ask for the gates to open
And for my legions to be set free

I call upon the power of darkness
Form and shadow
I call upon the power of the elder ones
Whose fate is bound to mine
I call upon master Satan
Give shadow form and lend me your eyes
Grant me your crystal vision
And teach me what you would have seen

The chain of Christian force is broken
And the great darkness is loosened upon this world

Thus I have spoken, thus shall it be
