Hosanna in Excelsis Lyrics by Sabbat (UK)

History of a Time to Come

1988

Soldiers of fortune
Kings of Hades
In our quest for power unite
Black messiahs
Devastation angels
Gird our loins -
Prepare to fight:
With weapons drawn in anger
At last we stand our ground
Crusaders of damnation
In death our purpose is found at last
Charge!
We're cleansing the world with
Destruction and war
Better fear for your life when we knock at your door
There will be no salvation
Just death and starvation
And Earth shall be Hell evermore
Hark! The fallen Angels sing:
"Glory to Satan our King
The Holy Church we thus defied
The usurper crucified."
Prayer shall offer no protection
From the swords of Blasphemy
Holy altars rent asunder
In our deeds - priests their destruction see:
The fear that dwells within them
At the wrath of Satan's hoard
Grows and fills their hearts with terror
Those who live by prayer - die by the sword
Die by the sword, die
We're cleansing the world with
Destruction and war
Better fear for your life when we knock at your door
There will be no salvation
Just death and starvation
And Earth shall be Hell evermore
Hark! The fallen Angels sing:
"Glory to Satan our King
The Holy Church we thus defied
The usurper crucified."
Crucified
Crucified
[Guitar Solo]
Dark formations fly above us
Ghastly are the Lords of Hell
Who proudly storm the gates of heaven
From which their noble masters fell...
Soldiers of fortune
Kings of Hades
In our quest for power unite
Black messiahs
Devastation angels
Gird our loins -
Prepare to fight:
With weapons drawn in anger
At last we stand our ground
Crusaders of damnation
In death our purpose is found at last
Charge!
We're cleansing the world with
Destruction and war
Better fear for your life when we knock at your door
There will be no salvation
Just death and starvation
And Earth shall be Hell evermore
Hark! The fallen Angels sing:
"Glory to Satan our King
The Holy Church we thus defied
The usurper crucified."
