Silence in the halls
of the damned
sentenced to obscurity
their souls condemned
waiting for a savior
that will never come
they pray to a god that
has made them dumb

Evil priests scattered
through the dark empire
each with a piece of the
deadly scrolls
inscribing words of death,
pain and misery
when these scrolls connect
there will be nothing left

9 books became of these scrolls
bathed in the blood of their makers
9 books became of these scrolls
bound with the skin of their makers

One night a messenger came
from the darkest hell
ridden on horseback
the nag black as night
gathering all the scrolls
of the deadly words
to take them back to his master
before he could die

9 books became of these scrolls
bathed in the blood of their makers
9 books became of these scrolls
bound with the skin of their makers

(solo)

9 books became of these scrolls
bathed in the blood of their makers
9 books became of these scrolls
bound with the skin of their makers
