My fortress of deadly torments, choked
With naked corpses and unburied souls
The ghosts of men and gods of the dead
Infected with unrest and madness
Feralis Deus, infernal Jove
Pitiless in heart upon my throne
My Tartarean kingdoms, unseen
Summanus, his awful majesty
My reign beyond the gates of the sun
An endless, dire Hell in the darkness
Where pale specters dwell
Wrapt for ever in the depths of night
My realms, profound, and remote from sight
Distant, dismal plains of Dis, divine
Mystic rites in necromantic shrines
Like Cocytus, like Phlegethon
Such is the violence of my cruel law
Wrought monsters in my house of wailing
Hideous bestial savagery
My reign beyond the gates of the sun
An endless, dire Hell in the darkness
Where pale specters dwell
I, with Stygian sky
With nocturnal thunder
Swollen with tears and fire
I, the hateful light of Hyperion, veil
My reign beyond the gates of the sun
Forbidden Avernus, void of day
An endless, dire Hell in the darkness
Where pale specters dwell
I with Stygian sky
Veil the hateful light of Hyperion
I with Stygian sky
Veil the hateful light of Hyperion
I reign beyond the gates of the sun
