Lyrics:

Benedictus qui in tenebris et in
Umbra mortis

I stand before you humbled (I declare) to be
the speaker for this congregation
(shall be) I am (my successor)
newly chosen

Benedictus
Bless all who dwell in darkness

And
All those in the shadow of death (death)
I stand before you now as your

Speaker for the damned
(For the forsaken I appoint thee)
I accept this position and its
Duty (to the damned) to all forsaken souls
We shall
Shelter, (bless), heal in the name of the
Overlord of
All monstrous beings in this realm

And
All of the others

All phantoms in this cosmic sphere
Give me your power let me siphon your energy
All people made to live in fear
The time to rise is upon us
Now hear me

Ascendit a terra in coelum
Interumque descendit
In terram et recipit vim
Superiorum et inferiorum

Waiting behind a thin veil I will answer when you call for
Me
(Hear the blessing of our elder speaker)
This temple swells, we have assembled now stand and
Hear me

The answer lies within you, take heed my congregation
By this means you will acquire the glory of the
Whole world and so you will drive away all falsehood and blindness
Now reach out to all your demons, find your darkness

And release it
Summon hellfire
Call to your demons
And set them all
Free

Terrorize
And oppress those who oppressed you
Bury them
In despair

Heed now the summons, children of night
Our time is nigh
Arise now

This world is
Ours

Take it back
We’ll take it all back
This land will fall under our shroud once more

Benedictus qui in tenebris

Go now
Take this universe
For all
Those who dwell in shadow
