The Harum sinks in the ocean. Whem the crew arrives to Heaven one of them is recognized as Flesh of the Devil and sent to Hell. Hell is London in 1888. The Autumn of Terror begins...
lyrics
We behold the gates of Heaven bathed in the glory of the mystery
We will rejoice together but suddenly the gates were shut
What a very strong expression of an uncommonly and hearty welcome
ONE OF YOU IS FLESH OF THE DEVIL said the man at the head of the stairs
GOD GIVE US YOUR GLORY
WE ARE WEAK AND THIN AND PALLID
YOU HAVE NO BOUNDS
But for many days the sun rose and sunk and rose and sunk again and when the men started to despair… the sound of footsteps of the stairs made them cry, made them laugh, made them stare into the sun
Hail to the King, hail to the light , there was that merry old gentleman
IN HORA MORTIS – MEDICUS!
ORA PRONOBIS – SUUS NON AGNUS
LIBERANOS SEMPER – NON EST DEUS
VIRGO GLORIOSA – AB INFERNO
ANIMA MUNDI – ET PECATORUM
FLESH OF THE DEVIL – AD INFEROS
