Lyrics[]
Who is she that kneels so respectfully before me
A virgin of snow white purity
Do not fear my fortunate one
Let us consummate our igneous union
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
I am the shadow with the eyes, eyes of fire
I will fulfill your every hellish desire
Come sit on this throne here beside me and be mine
And we'll watch the flames get higher and higher
And higher and higher
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
Ave Ave Satanas
This is just the start, dear friends
For I have come to claim revenge
My victims turning, running scared
You people better go and beware
Your weak God cannot help you now
Come, we will play in the fire
Worship the sun, worship no one
Worship the sun, worship no one
Worship the sun, worship no one
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
