"Sanctus Diavolos" by Rotting Christ

Rotting Christ:"Sanctus Diavolos", (from the album "Sanctus Diavolos", 2004):

Is this the holy thing to see?
Is this the land that sun shines
above the heaven?
Hear those children´s desperate cries...
Oh - children do they cry?
Do they hear their fathers´ sigh?
Is this the fertile place to be?
Is this the land that sprouts
green reach gardens?
Hear those souls´ flickering cries!
Do they beg?
Do they smile?
Do they frame the long line?
Hear shines the sun of a lower God
The light of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Here is born the light for the blind world
The flame of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Here burns thy bright torch of soul
The flame of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Here reigns thy mighty crown of horns
The horde of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Well blossomed is his existence,
So unwilling in their souls to see.
So weak to face him from
The outcast angle of earth
So rapid do they flee.
When bells of order are echoed
Nemesis for the anxious heavy spirit
Nemesis for a generation free

GRANDIS SPIRITUS SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Here shines the sun of a lower God
The light of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Here is born the light for the blind world
The flame of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Against on what prophets wrote
The aura of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Will reign, will prevail..
Tranquillize the human race

GRANDIS SPIRITUS SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Here burns thy bright torch of soul
The flame of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Here reigns thy mighty crown of horns
The horde of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Against on what prophets wrote
The spirit of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Will reign, will prevail and
tranquillize the human race

GRANDIS SPIRITUS SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Here burns thy bright torch of soul
The flame of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Here reigns thy mighty crown of horns
The horde of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS
Against on what prophets wrote
The spirit of  SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

Will reign, will prevail and
tranquillize the human race

GRANDIS SPIRITUS SANCTUS DIAVOLOS

(Well, Greece´s black metal-kings Rotting Christ made their studio-debut in 1993 with the album "Thy mighty contract", but it took me several years to discover this awesome band! Actually it first happened in the year of 2002 with the release of Rotting Christ´s seventh full-length "Genesis", and now I´ve definitely become a very big fan of Sakis & Co. :-) One of the greatest songs from the band is in my opinion the titel-track from the album "Sanctus Diavolos"....listen and agree :-)

Kind regards
