[Intro]
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj
Su nioj, su nioj, su nioj, su nioj

Welcome back

[Instrumental Break 1:04 - 3:20]

[Verse 1]
Existing on damnation's edge, the priest had never known
To witness such a violent show of power overthrown
Angels fighting aimlessly still dying by the sword
Our legions killing all in sight to get the one called Lord

[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved

[Post-Chorus]
Crucify your so-called Lord, he soon shall fall to me
Your souls are damned
Your God has fell to slave for me eternally
Hell awaits

[Verse 2]
The reaper guards the darkened gates that Satan calls his home
The demons feed the furnace where the dead are free to roam
Lonely children of the night, there's seven ways to go
Each leading to the burning hole that Lucifer controls

[Chorus]
Priests of Hades seek the sacred star
Satan sees the answer lies not far
Zombies, screaming souls, cry out to you
Satanic law prevails, your life is through

[Bridge]
Pray to the moon when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
For what you seek for can't be found
In sea or sky or underground

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]
Now I have you deep inside my everlasting grasp
The seven bloody gates of Hell is where you'll live your last
Warriors from Hell's domain will bring you to your death
The flames of Hades burning strong, your soul shall never rest

[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved

[Post-Chorus]
Sacrifice the lives of all, I know they soon shall die
Their souls are damned to rot in Hell
And keep the fires growing deep inside
Hell awaits

[Instrumental Outro]
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
