Infernal regions filled with souls,
No hope of resurrection
Well kept in this dark surrounding,
Left to cruel subjection
But the King of Glory, spreading light, draws near
To give salvation and to dispel all fear
He came to release and save
Those lost and burning souls that crave him!
The Prince of Death and his Prince of Hell
Exercise their godless might
In a permanent state, state of darkness
All their pieces of mankind
The Lords of Hell commence to quarrel
On Satan's sentence, sentence of death
Their sombre impious, impious dominion,
Subjection lies ahead
The bringer of light approaches them,
Trampling on the Prince of Hell
Sets him under the reign of Death
And leaves the Princes to themselves
- to themselves
Infernal regions filled with souls,
No hope of resurrection
Well kept in this dark surrounding,
Left to cruel subjection
