Into the night I crawl alone Cathedrals burn inside my bones Your final breath still stains my hands A broken vow, eternally damned Blackened roses crown your grave I kissed the cross — too late to pray The earth rejects your holy name And I am born of endless pain In noctem aeternam… Amor meus mortuus est… (Into the eternal night... My love is dead....) When heaven closed its golden gates I learned my face was forged of hate Into the night — I rise again Under the Blood Moon, crowned in sin Hellfire burns within my veins I am the dark that bears your name I am the Lord of Shadows, sworn King of the Damned, reborn in scorn Let this world choke on sacred lies For our eternal pain Your ghost still weeps in crimson rain Each heartbeat screams your name in vain The sun denied me one last kiss So I devoured what light remained They named me curse, they named me beast But love was my first blasphemy Now from your tomb my vengeance starts A requiem of sundered hearts Sanguis lunae, Ignis Inferni Amor factus est venenum (Blood of the moon, Fires of Hell Love has become poison) No god remains to bar my way When grief itself has learned to pray Into the night — I rise again Under the Blood Moon, crowned in sin Hellfire writes my sacred pain Across the flesh of holy men I am the Lord of Shadows, bound To every grave, to cursed ground This world will kneel, this world will drown In our eternal pain [Bridge] Rex damnatorum sum ego Ex sanguine coronatus Dominus umbrarum factus sum Donec mundus corruat (I am the king of the damned Crowned in blood I have become the lord of shadows Until the world falls) Into the night — eternal throne Blood Moon ascends, I reign alone Hellfire crowns my shadowed name I rule in grief, I rule in shame I am the Lord of Shadows, crowned King of the Damned — unchained, unbound Let creation rot in flame And remember our eternal pain In noctem… in aeternum… Amor et mors unum sunt… (Into the night... into eternity... Love and death are one..)
