Intro

The world is a sinister place

With evil thoughts and evil deeds

This is a history, a dream but still a reflection

Of what this world has become

Vers

Obsessed by death and cruelty, my mind can never rest

Until I’ve had my taste of blood and putrid, rotting flesh

Driven by desire to corrupt and desecrate

I curse the name of God and man to feed my burning hate

Chorus

My one desire

To quench the flame of life

Here in my empire

Where I am deified

Vers

With your fear and outrage I will never die

In the extreme I find my peace, in death I feel alive

I wear my solitude with pride and yearn for infamy

I want to be the incarnate of pure obscenity

Chorus

My one desire

To quench the flame of life

Here in my empire

Where I am deified

Vers

I roam the ancient cemeteries, making love to death

But I’ve come to crave a different thrill, to kill someone myself

I shall watch you agonize and die before my eyes

And finally I’ll know just what it’s like to take a life

Chorus

My one desire

To quench the flame of life

Here in my empire

Where I am deified
