*Lyrics:*
Behold the conquest
Beyond time, space, and matter
The demons shall arise and fly in the darkness forevermore
Hear the conjuring and know their malicious fate
Here is the realm where the limitless filth is being dyed
Enter the portal
Perpetual hell awaits
Enter the portal
The demons shall arise and fly in the darkness forevermore
Enter the portal
Perpetual hell awaits
Perpetual hell awaits
Behold the conquest
Beyond time, space, and matter
Spread this
Spread the venom and herald the evil
Hear the conjuring and know their malicious fate
Here is the realm where the limitless filth is being dyed
Enter the portal
Perpetual hell awaits
Enter the portal
