Darkthrone
Duke of Gloat
[Verse 1]
Too old to wring the secret from the master
The well you encountered as a child
Merely acknowledging the beacon now
And now you are not well any longer

[Chorus]
So this is the pact of the gloat
Double hell for all
All to repair and one to watch
No freedom in these domains

[Verse 2]
Hail the Satan
Sinister duke of gloat
Wrap up the wretched fates
Intriguing eternal laughter

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Encyclopedias
Of endless futile life toils
Shrapnel wounds
From shattered inner gargoyles
[Chorus]
So this is the pact of the gloat
Brave beating hearts but
All must repair while one beholds
No freedom in these domains
No freedom in these domains
