Angels Draped In Black

A fatal wound
Clinging to life
Making peace with god
Before you die
No hope for tomorrow
The story ends today
The angels draped in black
Have come to show you the way

Slowly dying praying for it to end
With a crucifix clenched in your fist
Choking on ash that's burning the lungs
Reaching for a savior but there were none

There is no cheating death
Every day is another goodbye
Will it be the pain in your chest?
Or that poison that lives inside
Still there's hope in your eyes
Until someone killed the lights

Box sealed shut
Laid to rest
Silver coffin lining
Matched your Sunday best
They will mourn
You begin to decay
The angels draped in black
Have come to show you the way

Take death's hand walk into the fog
Crossing boiling rivers of sinner's blood
Closer and closer led by tormented screams
Hint of napalm in the breeze

Paralyzing flashes in your mind
Burnt images of tragedies in your life
45 years old and 25 dead friends
Never another sunrise
There will be no mercy from God
You will pay for your sins

Where is the salvation
It's the hour of your death
Not one face here is familiar
Down in this fiery pit
Clawed violently is your body
By the Vermin of Hell
The disease spreads so quickly
Even the flowers on your grave wilt

The shadows lurk behind you
As the darkness slowly grinds you
All the souls will rot

Burning are the deniers
Melting with the believers
splattered are the walls
It's beyond pure evil
Impaled as a reminder
Corpses sway like flags
Not a soul left to save
Everything is fuckin dead
clouds of poison rise
and swirl in the raging fires
swarmed by Satan's ghouls
in the kingdom of the liar
The prize is eternal suffering
Endless agony and pain
Your sentence began
On your death bed

The price for the blood on your hands
Punishment for unholy desires
Endless days of burning flesh
Dying in the most sadistic ways again and again and again

The snakes here all know your name
There will be no mercy for your life of sin
Blistering flesh peeling from blistering souls
Serenaded by a cloaked choir with slit throats

The Darkness and pain
You'll now know it well
You were romanced by the devil
And now you've been cast to hell

And the suffering will be endless
No one gets out of here alive
Your prayers for forgiveness
Have been denied!

Twisting slowly in the belly of the beast
Haunted weeping and gnashing teeth
Horrid faces of who are dying inside
Now a possession of the antichrist

There is no escape
10 thousand piercing eyes on you
Tearing at your own flesh
The reality has set in
Slowly consumed by the flames
Now you'll burn in hell
