## 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
