blackened are the priests

Venom

Requiem Eternum, Lord of Ancients, Son of God
Requiem Eternal, Buried in this Holy Ground

They pray on heaven and on fire
deliver them from evil, Death
Their keys that keep their secret safe
are lost in war and now, they pay the price!

They cannot be freed! They cry
but there s no other way, to free them
Blackened are the Priests
of evil, drinking from their chalaces of blood, redeem them
Blackened are the Priests

Amist the holy cries of heaven
beneath the soddened earth, hell
The whitened collars of the dogs
that spew forth hardy thoughts, of life
Ah help them!

Blackened is the mantle of the Priests
Amen!
Blackened is the collar of the Priests
Blackened is the collar of the Priests

The Holy alter now of heaven, cannot deliver us from pain

(Postman pat and his Black and White cat!)

[Solo Bass Riff]

God help them!

The holy alter now of heaven
doth not deliver them from pain
They cannot turn their back on hell
from the grace they fell
all their futile efforts wane

They cannot be freed! They cry
but there s no other way, to free them
Blackened are the Priests
of evil, drinking from their chalaces of blood, redeem them
Blackened are the Priests
of evil, we try but there s no other way to free them
Blackened are the Priests
of evil, drinking from their chalaces of blood, redeem them
Blackened are the Priests!
