Unholy city a sinners delight

No-one was spared out of mind, out of sight

Hatred and slaughter, degredation and lust

Self destruction never counting the cost

No-one knew the suffering

Behind the city walls

No-one heard the cry for help

No-one heard the call

 

 

One thousand days in sodom

One thousand days in sodom

The ways of god forgotten

One thousand days in sodom

 

 

Children slaughtered daily there mothers by their sides

No mercy given no matter how they cried

The smell of death was near

It's presence ever near

The priests lay bound in chains no-one would ever hear

No-one knew the blasphemy

The torture and the pain

No-one saw the madness

The priests, they died in vain

 

 

Day completes its cycle and night takes on its role

Satan's cloak shrouds the land and his children spill their fold

No golden cross of heaven

Or ancient key of kings

Could save the world of sinners when the midnight sabbath rings

Few could hear the suffering

And the pain of ripping flesh

But those who did were damned in hell

And breathed their final breath

 

 

One thousand days

One thousand years you've lived your life in hell
