(lyrics by Lemmy Kilmister 1969)
Black wings across the sky
Bring the nightfall
Winds whine around the stars
Black riders call
Black fading
Time's wasting
Hell's waiting for...
The Dark Lord
Towers lean glowing red
Eyes in their walls
Watching the roads
That lead to their downfall
Eyes flashing
Rain lashing
Death in the name...
Of the Dark Lord
Doom stands astride the plains
Watched by the Eye
Whipped by the dying rain
From the dead sky
Death swelling
Smoke curling
Burning the mane...
Of the Dark Lord
Tunnels of darkness yon
The moment draws nigh
Too late the black wings beat
Too late the cry
Death flying
Black dying
Tearing the veil...
Of the Dark Lord
