Lyrics
Midnight, on a forgotten cemetery
Setting the scene at midnight in a forgotten cemetery.
No stars, just a black sky

The moon shines red
Noticing a red moon, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Terrible sounds in the night it is sabbath

Why are you here?
Questioning the presence of someone in this ominous setting.
You've disturbed the sabbath
Accusing the person of disrupting the sabbath, a sacred ritual.
You know the punishment
Stating awareness of the consequences for the disturbance.
There's only one solution
Indicating that death is the only resolution for the disturbance.
Death!
Emphasizing the inevitability of death as a punishment.
Wolves howl, witches dance around the stake
Depicting a scene with wolves, witches, and a stake.
Serene holy hell, preachers pray

They pray to satan, his majesty is here

You look confused, and I know why
Addressing the intruder's confusion and claiming understanding.
Now you see sacrifices, feel the flames, feel the fear

Now its too late, you can't escape
Declaring it's too late for escape.

Where's your god now?
Challenging the existence of a protective deity in the face of death.
Why did you come?
