I Am Condemned

I am condemned

For justly serving God

As you decree I do

I am condemned

For vanquishing all those

Who would have conquered you

But as I return from my bloody campaign

You make treason my deadly reward

You cowards dare to treat me with disdain

For the way those men died by my sword

(Dies irae, dies irae, dies irae)

I am condemned

But reject what you cowards proclaim

As you hide behind God's holy name

Playing the game only hypocrites choose

To hide your shame in selfless blame

I am condemned

I will descend into the depths of hell

Never to leave again

My life will end

But I will rise to claim lives of mortal men

I summon the forces of all you despise

To avenge the great name of dracul

To make me immortal as my love dies

And to give me hell's legions to rule

My living death is my self-imposed curse

To commence my unholy crusade

Eternal existence of night I traverse

In vengeance for being betrayed

I am condemned

To exist in devil's domain

No more love in my heart will remain

Never again will I be so deceived

I relieve my pain

I am profaned

I am condemned

To think that I believed it due

That I could serve my country true

Your holy cause

But I no longer fight for kings

The pious men with papal rings

And bloody wars

I challenge the holy to one holy conflict

I declare war between heaven and hell

The blood of the living shall be my reward

For serving my master so well

I am condemned

To exist on the blood in their veins

For the blood is the life that sustains

Unholy creatures of darkness

Who dwell in hell's domain

Where satan reigns

I am condemned

You are condemned

I am condemned
