Echoes of panic
That once danced in cells
Where phantasms bleed in the walls
And choirs of horror
Sing chords from hell
Dark visions release through halls
Relics of madness
Endless reminders
Of horrors once in this place
Heed their denial of sanctuary
And the calm that has been disgraced
[chorus]
Behind the pain of ancient lives
Strange aeons
Is a place where d**h cannot hide
Strange aeons
Pleasure for the wicked
No sleep for the weak
Nightmare is our religion
Peace is extinguished
And hell is alive
This darkness is tradition
Forgotten by all
And delivered to spectres
Who lead their souls
To slaughter
Free to wreak havoc
In what was a haven
Sanity forever altered
[chorus]
Behind the pain of ancient lives
Strange aeons
Is a place where d**h cannot hide
Strange aeons
Believing their souls indemnified
Strange aeons
But trapped within and left to die
Strange aeons
