By the Hammer of the Zeus, from '' The Black Light Bacchanalia '' album 2010 [Music & Lyrics by David DeFeis] [David DeFeis - All Vocals, Keyboards, Bass & Orchestration] [Edward Pursino - Guitars / Frank Gilchriest - Drums / Josh Block - Guitar Solo] I know you I taste your essence With the Blackness of my mind Pain is me and I'm relentless The wedding bells of death now chime In the darkness of your mourning All your treasures become mine A living flame Will be your star to follow Stolen Splendor I am there... BY THE HAMMER OF ZEUS AND THE WRECKING BALL OF THOR!!! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world Evil winds blow on the water Fill your mouth with poison wine All behold the arts of murder The seven winds of Anu cry Thunder, spear and sacred iron Set a course for Man divine The mountain flame will be your star to follow Golden splendor... I am there... BY THE HAMMER OF ZEUS AND THE WRECKING BALL OF THOR!!! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun from out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world Savage I start to tear out your eyes The Gods swarm like flies in the starlight... True flesh is born to rape Ancient forms A grave for your world where the God light Tears your soul I am the son of the sun, I am the wreaker of pain I am the son of the sun born to no one I am the wreaker of pain Nothing remains of your world... Savage I start to tear out your eyes The Gods swarm like flies here on my sacrifice Kingship has come to Heaven's new son A grave for your world as starlight bleeds you gold I know you I claim your essence In the Blackness of my mind Pain is me and I'm relentless The wedding bells of death now chime The Golden Hawk will be your star to follow Throne of fire I am there... BY THE HAMMER OF ZEUS AND THE WRECKING BALL OF THOR!!! BY THE HAMMER OF ZEUS AND THE WRECKING BALL OF THOR!!! BY THE HAMMER OF ZEUS AND THE WRECKING BALL OF THOR!!! Black is my heart in spite of the dawn Black is my soul with fear, force and malice I bring the sun form out of the dark Rabid and sharp you'll fell the madness From my black dead world
