Ihsahn
Invocation
[Chorus]
Come suffering, Apocalypse
Release the fires of Hell
I call upon destruction and despair

[Verse 1]
Here the days of slumber end
I beckon the night to live and overcome the fear

[Bridge]
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Come sin, come shame congregation of contempt
I bid you welcome to the pyre
Will our objective truths withstand this affliction?
I venture
Let it all come down!

[Verse 3]
The deafeaning sound of trumpets roar
In celebration of impending chaos
This is not terror, this is not war

[Refrain]
Beyond repentance
This is the call of the abyss
[Verse 4]
As deep cuts of truth
As a fire that closes the wound
So is my redemption

[Refrain]
Beyond repentance
This is the ordeal of fire

[Chorus]
Come suffering, Apocalypse
Release the fires of Hell
I call upon destruction and despair

[Verse 5]
Not for vengeance
Not for power
Beneath the ashes I walk
