Vanquisher - Serpent God Lyrics

From where the thief stood he could see the ruins of the great hall
Wherein chained captives Had knelt by the hundreds during festivals
To have their heads hacked off by the priest-king in Honor of Set
The Serpent-God of Stygia
I saw him summoned forth from beyond their darkest gate
And there, beyond the virgin's cries,
Did the serpent God awake!
Arise!
Set! Set! Set! Set! Set! Set! Set! Set!
I saw him rise!
From beyond their gate!
King of Acheron!
Bring back the glory days!
Oh, scaly lord of the shadows awake!
Arch-demon!
Out of Stygia, come the year of the snake
God of darkness!
Rise again from your ages of slumber!
Scaled and shining one!
Children of the deeps, I call you!
Bring forth him!
The captives are gathered
Nighted shrines and the blood of virgins
Kneel down to receive the master
The hour draws near!
Ages ago, when the world was yet young
The fiends of the night walked free
Below the black earth, far away from the sun
The old serpent coils asleep
From bloodstained altars, where naked women scream
The smoke rises high for the one
Whom black wizards worship, the evil supreme
O, return to your chosen sons
Now behold as the masses come
Chains dragged against the blood-soaked earth
To the pit of nameless monstrosity
In honor of the serpent God
Children of the deeps, I call you!
Bring forth him!
The captives are gathered
Nighted shrines and the blood of virgins
Kneel down to receive the master
The hour draws near!
Ages ago, when the world was yet young
The fiends of the night walked free
Below the black earth, far away from the sun
The old serpent coils asleep
From bloodstained altars, where naked women scream
The smoke rises high for the one
Whom black wizards worship, the evil supreme
O, return to your chosen sons
Are you the one?
The serpent king?
The God of darkness?
Are you the one?
The scaly lord?
Is your return complete at last?
Are you the one?
The serpent king?
The God of darkness?
Are you the one?
The scaly lord?
Is your return complete at last?
I am the one!
The serpent king!
The God of darkness!
The only God you'll ever need
I have returned
To take back the kingdom
Of ancient, glorious Acheron
Hail my return!
I live again!
