Overhead the thunder cracked and roared   And when it ceased the deathlike silence   Chilled my marrow and bones   The need to feel dead was killing him      Like death itself   Evil is found in the earliest   Oldest and the most dreadful   Memories of humanity   Eternally feared by gods primitive men      Pale visions, death-pale they were all   Still cursed, haunted and alone   Killing woman, children and men   Sparing neither age nor sex      A place where reality is worthless   And all you want is to be left alone   They grind the land like corn   Showing no mercy   Spilling the blood like rain   Devouring their flesh and sucking   Dry their veins...      The undead leaves their graves   In misty transformations   You see half-visible bodies   Floating through the night   The ancient spirits of the underworld      [REPEAT VERSE 1]      All the trees were lifeless and dead   And there were no birds singing   The reign of man is over   Drained for all its powers      He saw their starving lips shake   With a horrid grin gaped wide   And the corpse lies on the cold hill side   His spirit is carried away   By the northwinds into eternity
