How've they dared to be Such misguided creatures How've they dared to be Of such evil nature Spiral up to doors all sealed No turning back Red door to Discordia Steal the stars Deceive the day A sign of evil They're gone with a final warning Witness the twilight of the gods Will they ever return A storm will take us And then wipe us out There's no retreat We're trapped in twilight While the gods will drowse Gods will drowse They'll wait and sleep Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark The damage's done The king is gone There is war Wherever I'll roam Gods will come and Gods will go The spinning wheel keeps turning Now get up Lay down your ancient faith We're the chosen ones Come feel the change A way Let me show a new way When you dare to walk with me Bow down And surrender The old gods Black or white To me it's grey A sign of evil I hail all these non-believers Witness the twilight of the gods Will they ever return A storm will take us And then wipe us out There's no retreat We're trapped in twilight While the gods will drowse Gods will drowse They'll wait and sleep Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark Deliver your gods They shall be slain I'm their fallen son Don't be afraid A way Let me show a new way When you're going to walk with me As one We're infernal What's going up It will come down We're here to change There's war in Discordia Sure as death We all must fade A sign of evil Now reach for a new horizon Witness the twilight of the gods Will they ever return A storm will take us And then wipe us out There's no retreat We're trapped in twilight While the gods will drowse Gods will drowse They'll wait and sleep Until a new dawn'll save us from the dark
