Thanatorture - Gehenna, the Night Eternal

Acrid smoke from the burning pit
Dissolving rays of the sun
Vampire pale children of the dark
Feeding off the barrel of a gun
Limbs crushed in the damning fall
Sulphur filling gasping lungs
Clawing through the rancid skin
Gnawing off their wicked tongues
Eyes not accustomed to the gloom
Hands grasping from the void
Hearts broken in search of hope
In a world burned down, destroyed
Word was made inferior flesh
Lucid beings left to rot
Crawl like maggots in the dust
Bereaving their shameful lot

Gehenna - the night eternal
Gehenna - the night eternal

The smell of death, dirt and decay
The sound of suicides' despair
Convicted of crimes unnamed
Hopelessness climbs the air
Dead, despondent, desperate
Shackled to terrors without end
Frozen tears and vivid fears
Souls longing to ascend
This birthplace of malevolence
Pestilence and plague
Justice but an empty word
Verdicts capricious and vague
Abandonment is the evil root
Empty hearts must be filled
If not with love, then animosity
The ancient foe will be killed

Gehenna - the night eternal
Gehenna - the night eternal

Angels transforming into devils
This kingdom of the damned
Sinners, cynics and heathens alike
Crushed by unforgiving hand
Gnashing teeth, anguished wails
Abandoned abnormalities grieve
Pray, who are these wretched souls
The sons and daughters of Eve
