[Intro]
Ahh!
[Verse 1]
Under command a new-born child
Submerged in blood, the dead they smile
Growing possessed, burning inside
A bloody feast for us tonight
[Refrain]
The way of death
Is growing, here, just take my hand
Skies grow black
Unholy corpses upon their land
[Pre-Chorus]
The dead they gather around
Praising the child they found
Possessed, the child shall kill
The future is now revealed
[Chorus]
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn they'll learn
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn they'll learn
[Verse 2]
Gather around, watch and see
A new creation of misery
Taking the place of the elderly dead
Forbidden ways now in his head
[Refrain]
The way of death
Is growing, hear, just take my hand
Skies grow black
Unholy corpses upon their land
[Pre-Chorus]
The dead they gather around
Praising the child they found
Possessed, the child shall kill
The future is now revealed
[Chorus]
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn they'll learn
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn they'll learn
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn they'll learn
Baptized in blood
Destined to burn
Dark is my soul
Reborn
[Outro]
Ahh!
