Lyrics

[Chorus]
O' mighty Lord of the Night
Master of beasts
Master of beasts
Bringer of awe and derision
Thou whose spirit lieth upon every act of oppression, hatred and strife
Thou whose presence dwelleth in every shadow
Thou who strengthen the power of every quietus
Thou who sway every plague and storm
Harkee
[Verse 1]
Thou art the Emperor of Darkness
Thou art the Emperor of Darkness
Thou art the king of howling wolves
Thou art the king of howling wolves
Thou hath the power to force any light in wane
Sans mercy, sans compassion
Nor will to answer whosoever asketh the why
[Bridge]
Thy path is capricious, but yet, so wide
With no such thing as an impediment to strong
[Bridge]
Every time thou consecrate me to another secret of Thine
I take another step towards Thy Pantheon
[Chorus]
O' mighty Lord of the Night
Master of beasts
Master of beasts
Bringer of awe and derision
Thou whose spirit lieth upon every act of oppression, hatred and strife
Thou whose presence dwelleth in every shadow
Thou who strengthen the power of every quietus
Thou who sway every plague and storm
Harkee
[Verse 2]
Thou art the Emperor of Darkness
Thou art the Emperor of Darkness
Thou art the king of howling wolves
Thou art the king of howling wolves
Thou hath the power to force any light in wane
Sans mercy, sans compassion
Nor will to answer whosoever asketh the why
[Outro]
Forever wilt I bleed for Thee
Forever wilt I praise Thy dreaded name
Forever wilt I serve Thee
Thou shalt forever prevail
[Outro]
Inno a Satana
Inno a Satana
Inno a Satana
Inno a Satana
[Outro]
Inno a Satana
