The Dark Secret
[Part I: The Ancient Prophecy – 00:00-02:24]

[Spoken – King Uriel]
"It was a good time for all creatures of the earth
But fate decreed that the dark prophecy of a demon knight
Could bring a tragic end to this peace scarring their lives forever
Shortly before his defeat in the last of the primordial wars
Between the heavens and hells the evil son of the Hell God Kron
Known as Nekron, withdrew to his lair in the underworld
There, sensing his impending death inscribed a testament
Of pure evil in seven black books
One by one six of these books were discovered through out the ages
However the seventh, last and most terrible of all contained
The secret of his resurrection
He commanded seven immortal demons to carry out his dark plan
But they were turned into stone by the angels of the crystal realms
And so his dreams slept with them until a time came
When the forces of evil would usurp the earth
Nekron would rule in the unholy name of cosmic chaos
And this time he would reign supreme!"

[Part II: Ira Divina – 02:24-04:13]

[Chorus]
Ira divina
A dolore nunc libera nos
Ira divina
(Divina a dolore libera nos)
A dolore nunc libera nos
(Divina dolore nos libera
Divina ira)
[Refrain – Outro]
Tacet rota temporis
Nunc est silentium
Sempiternus angelus
A malo libera nos
A malo
