Whispers float through the trees demons arise, their bloodlust unleashed lives you cherish, stalked by the possessed this murderous Evil, it knows no rest!

VERSE 2: Infectious darkness, it spreads like a cancer cut off the limb, to thwart the possessor The one you kill, tonight to survive in torment you grieve, with no end in sight (PRE-CHORUS) CHORUS 2: This passageway to the evil worlds beyond, You may not make it through this night But a hero, falling from the sky has the weapons, To kill that which cannot die! Bridge: Arise! Rise now and feed! Arise! Rise now and slay! Khandar Estrada Thrus Indactu Khandos! Khandar Estrada Nosfrandus Dematos Klaatu barada nikto De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine; Domine, exaudi orationem meam!!! VERSE 3: the Roar of the chainsaw, blast of the boom stick!
