[Words: W. Süssenbeck / Music: Böhm, Pichlbauer, Koritar]

THERE IS NO GOD WHERE I AM
THE SORROW OF PAIN AND REGRET
ARE LEFT TO THE DEAD AND DYING

CARESSED BY MAGNIFICENT BEASTS

I AM THE SNAKE
I AM ALONE

THEN THERE IS RAPTURE ON EARTH
AND I AND THE EARTH ARE ONE
THERE IS GREAT DANGER IN ME
IN THE DAY OF YOUR WRATH

I AM THE SNAKE
I AM ALONE

PRAISE THE WHORE
FOR HER POWER'S DIVINE
RAISE THE DEAD

FROM THE VAULTS OF DESPAIR
HEIR TO THE THRONE

ANCESTORS FROM THE PAST
ARCHANGEL'S LAST COMMAND

YOU SEE TO DIE IS AT HAND

OUT OF THE DARK DEPTHS OF HELL MY ARMIES ARISE
THE ETERNAL QUEST FOR THE EMPIRE'S CROWN HAS BEGUN

THE SERPENT FLAME THEREIN
MY COLOUR IS BLACK TO THE BLIND
I WHO AM ALL PLEASURE AND PURPLE
AND HER EYES SHALL BURN WITH DESIRE

I AM LIFE
GIVER OF LIVE

LET THE LIGHT DEVOUR MEN
EAT THEM UP WITH BLINDNESS
ON THE LOW MEN TRAMPLE
IN THE FIERCE LUST OF THE PRIDE

I AM THE SNAKE
I AM ALONE

PRAISE THE WHORE

FOR HER POWER'S DIVINE
RAISE THE DEAD

FROM THE VAULTS OF DESPAIR
HEIR TO THE THRONE

ANCESTORS FROM THE PAST
ARCHANGEL'S LAST COMMAND

YOU SEE TO DIE IS AT HAND

I AM THE MASTER OF FEAR
THOU ART THE HOLY CHOSEN ONE
NOW LET IT BE FIRST UNDERSTOOD
I AM A GOD

I AM THE SNAKE
I AM ALONE

IN MY SECRET TEMPLE
I AM THE DAUGHTER OF SUNSET
I AM THE NAKED NIGHTSKY
AROUSE THE COLD SPLENDOUR WITHIN

PRAISE THE WHORE

FOR HER POWER'S DIVINE
RAISE THE DEAD

FROM THE VAULTS OF DESPAIR
HEIR TO THE THRONE

ANCESTORS FROM THE PAST
ARCHANGEL'S LAST COMMAND

YOU SEE TO DIE IS AT HAND

OUT OF THE DARK DEPTHS OF HELL MY ARMIES ARISE
THE ETERNAL QUEST FOR THE EMPIRE'S CROWN HAS BEGUN
