[Verse 1]

Existing on damnation's edge

The priest had never known

To witness such a violent show

Of power overthrown

Angels fighting aimlessly

Still dying by the sword

Our legions killing all in sight

To get the one called Lord


[Chorus 1]

The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see

There's no price to pay, just follow me

I can take your lost soul from the grave

Jesus knows your soul can not be saved


[Post-Chorus 1]

Crucify your so-called "Lord"

He soon shall fall to me

Your souls are damned, your God has fell

To slave for me eternally

Hеll awaits


[Verse 2]

The reaper guards thе darkened gates

That Satan calls his home

Demons feed the furnace where

The dead are free to roam

Lonely children of the night

There's seven ways to go

Each leading to the burning hole

That Lucifer controls


[Chorus 2]

Priests of Hades seek the sacred star

Satan sees the answer lies not far

Zombies, screaming souls, cry out to you

Satanic law prevails, your life is through


[Bridge]

Pray to the moon, when it is round

Death with you shall then abound

For what you seek for can't be found

In sea or sky or underground


[Lead - Hanneman]


[Verse 3]

Now I have you deep inside

My everlasting grasp

The seven bloody gates of Hell

Is where you'll live your last

Warriors from Hell's domain

Will bring you to your death

The flames of Hades burning strong

Your soul shall never rest


[Chorus 1]

The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see

There's no price to pay, just follow me

I can take your lost soul from the grave

Jesus knows your soul can not be saved


[Post-Chorus 2]

Sacrifice the lives of all

I know they soon shall die

Their souls are damned to rot in Hell

And keep the fires growing deep inside

Hell awaits


[Lead - King]
