Verse 1

Long ago before stars could shine,

before the world, existence of time,

one ancient spirit crossed the deep,

where dark and light were still asleep.

Anu, the One, the sum of all things

diamond-spined with empyrean wings

cast his shadow out and away

could not abide the dark that day

Chorus

Seven heads rose from the wound

seven mouths to eat the moon

Tathamet, the Dragon, the Beast, the Worm

born of the light, upon itself turned

Oh, what is cast off does not die

it opens its jaw in the pit of the sky

And what you rejected will answer in kind

through seven evils no ties could bind

Verse 2

They warred inside, sealed pearl's keep

for ages locked without a sleep

until the pearl could hold no more

their deaths split open Heaven's floor

From Anu's spine the Crystal Arch

cold and holy, white and stark

From Tathamet's rotting, smoldering flesh

the Burning Hells and all the rest

Refrain

Mephisto the Hatred, Baal the Ruin,

Diablo the Terror below,

three from the heads and four from the wound,

seven evils cast to roam.

Verse 3

An angel wearied of the crossing swords

Inarius, servant of holy lords

crept away from the golden gate

hand in hand with a demon's hate

Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto's mind

daughter of Hatred, beautifully blind

she took the Worldstone in trembling hands

and spun from nothing a land of lands

Chorus

Seven heads rose from the wound

seven mouths to eat the moon

Tathamet, the Dragon, the Beast, the Worm

born of the light, upon itself turned

Oh, what is cast off does not die

it opens its jaw in the pit of the sky

And what you rejected will answer in kind

through seven evils no ties could bind

Verse 4

From angel-blood and demon wed

the Nephalem rose — half-halo, half-dread

Too strong for Heaven, too bright for Hell

Sanctuary held them under its spell

Inarius turned the Worldstone's face,

and dimmed their fire to a slower pace,

he sealed their birthright out of sight,

and reduced the titans to a mortal life.

Bridge

beneath Tristram's stone there waited still

the Lord of Terror with a roaming will,

he passed through Albrecht, flesh, and soul,

through the hero he sought to make his own.

The Dark Wanderer crossed the land,

with Terror sealed beneath his hand,

until the archangel broke the stone,

and woke a wrath no man had known.

Verse 5

Leah had a burning inside her chest

Adria the witch, already confessed

to the Black Soulstone with the seven marked

she offered her daughter to feed the dark

And Diablo wore a woman's face

to walk through Heaven's holy place,

then broke the Diamond Gates apart,

Tathamet reborn with Diablo's heart.

Chorus

Seven heads rose from the wound

seven mouths to eat the moon

Tathamet, the Dragon, the Beast, the Worm

born of the light, upon itself turned

Oh, what is cast off does not die

it opens its jaw in the pit of the sky

And what you rejected will answer in kind

through seven evils no ties could bind

Verse 6

Malthael, the eldest, his Wisdom undone

once held the Worldstone beneath the sun

watched the stone shatter and could not forgive

The answer he chose: let nothing live!

He spread the wings of death and grief,

until the Nephalem brought him beneath.

Final Refrain

Lilith walks the road of blood a gain,

her children scattered, drowned in rain.

She did not birth this world to fall,

or so she whispers through her call.

Outro

Long ago before stars could shine,

before the world and existence of time,

there hung a pearl in hollow night

It cast off shadow. It called it light

Heaven and Hell still draw their breath

still trade their blows, still deal their death

The wound that built the world runs deep

the Eternal Conflict
