At War with Satan is the third album by extreme metal band Venom, released in April 1984. A semi-concept album that tells the story of a war between Heaven and Hell where the latter side wins, it was touted as Venom's crossover into rock mainstream, but failed to do so. Shortly after it reached the stores the HMV record chain withdrew the album from their shelves due to its anti-Christian content.
Background
The inspiration for writing a track filling out an entire side of the record, according to Venom bassist Cronos, came from Rush's 2112 album. "At War with Satan" is centred on a character named Abaddon (which is also the alias of Tony Bray, Venom's drummer), who is the guardian to the gates of Hell. Venom bassist and vocalist Cronos started writing, back in his school days, a story about "how Hell revolts and takes over the heavens and throws God into Hell", a story later fleshed out as "At War with Satan". The title track's imagery and storyline largely evokes the Book of Revelation and John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667–1674) filtered through a postmodern horror movie and pulp aesthetic.

LYRICS:
The warriors gather slowly around
The sacred city, Hell
Satan screams a vengeance
On the land as the angels fell
Tyrants pray disaster for the
Land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn
the Heavens into dust.
The standard bearers chosen
From the mass of Satan's dogs
To hold the flag of Hades high
Defying all the gods
Satan laughs the words of war
The Heavens shake with fear
Armageddon sings his song
The battle's ever near.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin
Who holds the keys to the seven gates?
Lucifer's demonic laughter
Assist our quest, Beli...

Venom - At War With Satan [Remastered] + Lyrics
This legendary Song brought me into Metal around 1983 and haunted the caverns of my mind ever since!
I first heared the Intro of that damn song as an Outro of the pre-runner album "Black Metal" and was a bit confused after I realized that this was not part of their album "At War With Satan"...
So I decided to GLUE together what belongs together - ashes to ashes and dust to dust, now it is complete like I always wanted to hear that song! Enjoy!!!

LYRICS:
The warriors gather slowly around
The sacred city, Hell
Satan screams a vengeance
On the land as the angels fell
Tyrants pray disaster for the
Land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn
the Heavens into dust.
The standard bearers chosen
From the mass of Satan's dogs
To hold the flag of Hades high
Defying all the gods
Satan laughs the words of war
The Heavens shake with fear
Armageddon sings his song
The battle's ever near.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin
Who holds the keys to the seven gates?
Lucifer's demonic laughter
Assist our quest, Belial prays
free from Hell who serves the master
Sound the charge on Sabbaths day.
Charge!
Crest the demon's souls
Show yourselves in power
Angels fear resist
nothing holds the storm
Inform the grand master of Hades
Storm the gates!
Free from the pits of Hell
Slaves emerge the mountain
We shall destroy the accursed Heavens
Advance great legions strong
Crush the gates and enter free
Our lord of Hell must take God's throne
Heavenly inferno
Spread the message far...
Take to the skies!
Come on...
Frenzied demons - Angel's cries
Lucifer commands the orgy
Molten mayhem, one thousand lies
Heaven fails to hold tranquility
The brides of sin are wed
Their price, nine holy heads
White marble walls bleed red
Fuck the Bastards
Come on...
God's creation - all must see
Heavens Hell
God has fell
Sound the knell
Where time and space collide
Mortals sit and watch the tide
Of Angels crashing up against the sacred shore
Without the holy grail
Only evil can prevail
The church of God can't hide the truth no more
Can't see the light no more
Light up the skies...
The Demons ring the Sabbath bells
Rejoice the witches chant
Prepare the sacrifice - by fire
The blood runs black through heavens shell
Declare the witches dance
Nothing shall suffice
The souls of Christ
Drag him through the whores!
Come on...
Come on...
Orgies filled with joyous laughter
Alters of the flesh
Equinox eternal glory
El descends in death
Satan's empire
A new born flaming star
Children screaming out in pain
Destroy the priests
Destroy their reign
Tyrant pledge the souls of legions
Sullen and remorse
Tana turns the key of life
To hear the thunder roar
Ancients gather amidst the stars
Mortals stare in fear
The Earth is damned beneath the mist
A veil of angels tears
White clouds of life are turning black
The virgin pure she fears attack
Come on...
You are damned...
Children of pleasure move
appear amongst us
The dark Lord has opened his jaws
Raise for Satanic queen
Ye sons and daughters
Take heed the flame forever learn
Now is come salvation
Strength and the kingdom of our
Satanic majesty
You'll always learn!
Are you damned in Hell?
Damned in Hell
Lilith holds the black heart in her hands
The blood flows
Desecration of God's holy shrine
Armageddon
Hahahahahhahaha
Pandemonium burns in the night
The Hell spawn
Celebrations at Sabbats galore
Unite with mother whore
Take that bitch
We shall not be destroyed...
Satan laughs, damnation has sunk its talons deep
into the womb of utopia spilling forth great streams
of virginal purity and bliss.
The golden throne of the tetragrammaton is ablaze,
Satanic majesty sits proud, the joyous drones of celebration
enact scenes of blasphemy, lust and destruction.
Raping the holy trinity the Sabbath chimes the tunes of Burlesque
and insanity, the Heavens in their last throes of death.
Gabriel and his arc angels falling ever downwards through the
fires of pandemonium to the dark deserted depths of Hell
their broken bloodstained wings scorched the by raging inferno
lay battered by the shores of the styx.
Weary from the battle they seek refuge, bathing their wounds
in the blood of a million martyrs while the celebration of rape
of the heavens grows strong the keys to the seven gates of Hell
lie momentarily unguarded.
The raging flames calmed by the innocence of the angel's hearts
release forth their wealth of centuries of God's lost
souls once robbed of their true destiny in Heaven's golden palace.
An unseen presence breeds the never before felt pains of mortal hatred
and anger deep into the pounding hearts of the angels.
Once more the creature is summoned to deliver the declaration of
war,
At war with Satan!
The angels gather slowly around
The sacred city Hell
Gabriel screams a vengeance of the
Land as the angels fell
Martyrs prey disaster for the
Land of hate and scorn
The Angels curse the day the antichrist
Was ever born...
