Lyrics

Noble Caesar, forgive me But I was the knife ending Thy ambition Yet I held Thy standard proudly As Thy legions burned the world Oh gorgeous Minoan empire Blessed were Thy art and culture Earthquakes undermined Thy glory Then I led hostile forces into Thy land [Chorus:] I am the desires most profane The pestilence cursing thousands I am the burned village Decimating diseases without a name Anno Satana! Anno Satana! Rise, rise, rise and fall! Rise, rise, rise and fall! Dear Robbespierre, hail to Thy revolution Which turned into an endless execution (So sweet Thy blood must have tasted In the hour of Thy own execution) Rise, rise, rise and fall! Rise, rise, rise and fall! Anno Satana! Anno Satana! Clever, mad Rasputin No intrigue too grand A pleasure it was watching you rise But the delight so overwhelming As I witnessed your fall Throughout history my misanthropy Always has been grander than thine
