Before the Lash - Cirith Ungol

In Hell s corrupt and sunken halls the rising shall begin

The bane of man immortal — the parade of broken dead

With greed our worldly master, so now pain will be our guide

As the fallen ones await us all to welter by their side

Iron dreams of human jackals and our final fate is cast —

To slave in endless fire as you cringe before the lash

Blinded by the darkness, as you pray for his return

But in your soul you fear he s just another one who’ll burn

With greed our worldly master, now pain will be our guide

As the fallen ones await us all to welter by their side

Iron dreams of human jackals — our final fate is cast

To slave in endless fire, as you cringe before the lash

Does evil lie in waiting to extract his heavy toll

Will bowing to the pulpit bring the cloven to their goal

But if he s the work of mankind, and the beast our morbid dream

This dying planet is our heaven, and our hell remains the same
