I happen to have the Songbook of Gutter Ballet from Cherry Lane and there the lyrics are printed as this:
In distant ages long ago,
before the birth of Christ
Lived a race of drifting souls,
terror on the rise
United the army was strong
They ruled the astral plains
No one could stop them, they wouldn’t fall
The world they would soon reign
A step beyond the grave
A vision so insane
They’ve opened the gates of hell
Calling, calling
Unholy light is calling
Faster, faster
Prelude for disaster
You scream but no one hears your cries
oh yeah!
The unholy
Raging spirits kept from light
inslaved [sic!] in worlds of doom
Marching armies from the darker side
The devils black platoon
Torches raised, no one was saved
victory was theirs
Such was life in the unholy years
A step beyond the grave
In distant ages long ago,
before the birth of Christ
Lived a race of drifting souls,
terror on the rise
United the army was strong
They ruled the astral plains
No one could stop them, they wouldn’t fall
The world they would soon reign
A step beyond the grave
A vision so insane
They’ve opened the gates of hell
Calling, calling
Unholy light is calling
Faster, faster
Prelude for disaster
You scream but no one hears your cries
oh yeah!
The unholy
Raging spirits kept from light
inslaved [sic!] in worlds of doom
Marching armies from the darker side
The devils black platoon
Torches raised, no one was saved
victory was theirs
Such was life in the unholy years
A step beyond the grave
