Текст песни: Upon the Throne of Skulls + перевод

Inside the palace, of an evil man’s dream

The court assembles, to hail their new king

He strides with grace, across the palace floor

To take his place, upon the Throne of Skulls

Deep in the chalice, through the fire and steam

The vision clears (brought forth by blood offering)

He sees the face, of the one who’ll take his blood

And take his place, upon the Throne of Skulls

The demon rages, «This vision is a lie»

And breaks the chalice, with one mighty strike

«I killed them all, drowned on the ocean floor

To gain this hall, and build the Throne of Skulls»

«Through all the ages, not a soul could defy

Black death’s own Goddess, and her silver pike

The Nine Ones' fall, aided by the demon god

Now hear death’s call, out of the Throne of Skulls

A skull-clad throne — black altars of stone

So many have died — bones crucified

A flesh offering — to the unholy king

Wasting men’s lives

In the reign of the Black Knives!

Priests of the slaughter, from their work there’s no rest

To find and kill him, «the bringer of death»

Blood dyes the lands, it flows forevermore

For dread commands, upon the Throne of Skulls

He rapes his daughter, a God’s justified incest

To breed a new race, born of hatred and death

His house now stands, on solid ground of black blood

Hark! Hell demands, «obey the Throne of Skulls!»
