Pale Goddess Anthem

Intro

Oh oh

Hope burns

Hope turns

Verse 1

Swedish fields run red tonight

Peasants scream beneath his blade

Matthias keeps his spirit bright

While mothers weep within the shade

They blame the girl with snow-white hair

Calling out for burning wood

Tie her to the iron chair

Do what pious people should

Pre-Chorus

Fire climbing high

Smell of sulfur in the sky

Demon whispers in the ear

Trading everything for fear

Chorus

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Lady Death is all she's got to take

Renounce the light

Serve the night

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

(Lady Death)

(Lady Death)

Verse 2

Through the gate of brimstone deep

Civil war among the dead

Fallen kings don't ever sleep

Wear a crown of jagged lead

Find the smith in exile plains

Wipe the soot from off your face

Break the spirit of these chains

Wash away this human trace

Pre-Chorus

Swear the secret oath

Tear the skin and kill the growth

Heaven's gate is locked away

Now the hellish masses play

Chorus

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Lady Death is all she's got to take

Renounce the light

Serve the night

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Bridge

Chaos fell

Avatar bled

From the pit we raise the dead

Hellwitch sister

Blood-stained skin

Let the Coffin wars begin

Long sleep ended

Earth must scream

Lady Death's unholy dream

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Lady Death is all she's got to take

Renounce the light

Serve the night

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Post-Chorus

Hope is dead

(Hope is dead)

Pale and red

(Pale and red)

Queen of rage

(Queen of rage)

Turn the page

Chorus

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

Lady Death is all she's got to take

Renounce the light

Serve the night

Hope burns to nothing at the stake

(Lady Death)

(Lady Death)
