Owed to the Prince of darkness

He rose from the smoke, out of ashes and flame

A voice like thunder, a soul unchained

With a howl to the moon and a crucifix grin

He laughed at the devil, and welcomed the sin

They said he was crazy, out of control

Riding that train straight through his soul

But every scream and every tear

Turned the static into something we’d all hear

Oh, Prince of Darkness, still standing tall

You never bowed, you gave it your all

From the shadows, your legacy flies

In every echo that electrifies

No more tears, no more lies—

Just the truth in your haunted eyes

He spoke with spirits, he danced with Crowley

The world called him mad, the faithful called him holy

He barked at the moon with a silver bite

And showed us the dark could shine with light

Iron men fall, and empires fade

But your madness was music the rebels played

Paranoid minds still scream your name

In every back alley hall of fame

Oh, Prince of Darkness, still burning bright

A shadow that glows in eternal night

Your voice cracked the sky, raw and real

A wounded soul they could never steal

No more chains, no more fear—

The throne you built is still right here

So here’s to the madness, the riffs and the scars

To the voice that lit our broken hearts

You gave us the wild, the loud, the strange

And nothing in this world will ever change—

That the crown still fits

The Prince still reigns

And the night still howls

Your eternal name
