[Chorus]

Come suffering, Apocalypse

Release the fires of Hell

I call upon destruction and despair


[Verse 1]

Here the days of slumber end

I beckon the night to live and overcome the fear


[Bridge]

Hey!


[Verse 2]

Come sin, come shame congregation of contempt

I bid you welcome to the pyre

Will our objective truths withstand this affliction?

I venture

Let it all come down!


[Verse 3]

The deafeaning sound of trumpets roar

In celebration of impending chaos

This is not terror, this is not war


[Refrain]

Beyond repentance

This is the call of the abyss


[Verse 4]

As deep cuts of truth

As a fire that closes the wound

So is my redemption


[Refrain]

Beyond repentance

This is the ordeal of fire


[Chorus]

Come suffering, Apocalypse

Release the fires of Hell

I call upon destruction and despair


[Verse 5]

Not for vengeance

Not for power

Beneath the ashes I walk
