Θάνατος είναι μόνο η αρχή
Demon possessed or diseased my mind must be
Every thought encircling torment and death
A hunger for blood that cannot be quenched
Tormented by memories of victims past
Hell is my only escape
In death I found no peace
Satan himself granting new life
Only in torment can I now find pleasure
Never enough to satisfy my hunger
Lonely I shall for eternity be
Yet to find an end to this curse
Tearing the flesh off of my victims
Hungrily ripping their hearts from their chests
Enjoying the sounds of their screams
Becoming the beast mortally feared
Enslaved by my unending hunger for flesh
Generously the blood flows from my victims
Into the very depths of hell itself
No escape for my victims to follow
No release for their tormented souls
Into the pits of hell their souls shall descend
Never again will I taste the freedom
Granted by eternal slumber
