Rotting Christ Rege Diabolicus song lyrics

Long ago you broke off your joke and tore off your bonds

You said: "I will not serve"! indeed on every high hill

And under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute

I form the light and create darkness

I bring prosperty and create disaster

I THE LORD

I THE GOD

I form the light and create darkness

I make weal and create sadness

I THE LORD

I THE HORNED

[CHORUS]

When the night of love draws to its close

REGE DIABOLICUS REGE MALUM

The red mist rises to greet the dawn

REGE DIABOLICUS DIABOLICUS DEUS

Covering the lord of those who do not dare to be

REGE DIABOLICUS REGE MALUM

The sign of evil is here to feel

REGE DIABOLICUS DIABOLICUS DEUS

I form life and create fire

I promise peace and create pyre

I THE LORD

I THE GOD

I form life and create fire

I bring delight and bear desire

I THE LORD

I THE HORNED

[CHORUS]
