[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I will take your final breath
And I will be your last regret

[Verse 2]
Cold blood—runs in my blackened heart
Tearing—every soul apart

[Chorus]
Messenger of death—wields the scythe of man's damnation
Messenger of death—holds his blade for termination

[Verse 3]
Sin—is all I feast upon
I'm forging my crematorium

[Verse 4]
Your tomb—is waiting here for you
Welcome to my ritual

[Chorus]
Messenger of death—wields the scythe of man's damnation
Messenger of death—holds his blade for termination
[Lead: Glenn]

[Verse 5]
Death rides out from the storm
Deface humanity
There's no escape from this
Human calamity

[Verse 6]
Death rides out from the storm
We turn to God and cry
Ignored we turn to face
This vengeance from the sky

[Verse 7]
Death rides out from the storm
No time left to repent
No quarter—no escape
No line of self defense

[Verse 8]
Death rides out from the storm
In terror we confess
Our voice is heard no more
His deed is merciless
[Lead: Glenn]
[Lead: K.K.]

[Verse 5]
Death rides out from the storm
Deface humanity
There's no escape from this
Human calamity

[Verse 6]
Death rides out from the storm
We turn to God and cry
Ignored we turn to face
This vengeance from the sky

[Chorus]
Messenger of death—wields the scythe of man's damnation
Messenger of death—holds his blade for termination
