The rotting corpse of an empire
Flayed for all to see
Sing not to me damnation
For I conduct the screams
With a crown of lies
A malice in disguise
He sought ascension
But we denied his prize
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
I am retribution
Justice at its core
A phantom of reprisal
In this uncaring void
They will remember
With every burning world
Death haunts the darkness
In nightmare given form
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
The sins of the father
Cast down from son to son
The echoes of his failures
Unravel and come undone
May the ashes rain
Eternal on his throne
And the suffering of millions
Choke the life out of his soul
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Revenants of midnight
Heralds of Judgement Day
Raise the pyres
Feed the flames
Immortal clad in midnight
The lords of night unveiled
Death haunts the darkness
Death knows your name
Death has come to claim you
Retribution in it's wake
