They called themselves masters – the leaders of men
Determined to conquer – again and again
Their armies so mighty marched stiffly and tall
Engrossed by the power that guttered them all
With pitiless fury the kingdoms did fell
And the flames leapt up from the canyons of hell
And eyes burning amber with madness and lust
Looked gallantly over the deserts of dust
And dragons inspired spat venom of fire
And the flames of hell leapt higher and higher
Their tails wisped thunder in slashing the air
And spears of scales their enemies snared
And here in the pits in the darkness of night
We huddle in horror and pray for the light
Around us they fever with violence and hate
And fever bred fever and sealed our fate
We practiced his evil and now we were doomed
Our blindness had led us to eternal gloom
Through a tunnel of cinders and orange red glow
We tumble on downward to the fires below
And there we were numbered and numbers were we
Imprisoned forever in the amber hot sea
And so we look on – unable to tell
And the flames leap up from the canyons of hell
