Bal Sagoth The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Lyrics

The Splendour Of A Thousand Swords Lyrics

Black Legions ravening for blood,
Dark Lords hearken to my call,
Warriors
rise forth from the earth,
Battle-spells empower me,
The Throne of Kings,
the summoning,
Marble halls sunk 'neath the waves,
Storm-wolves a prowl
(beneath) the ebon moon,
Immortal hordes, pledge me thine steel!
The
clarion call of battle sounds,
Iron gleams in baleful flame,
Slaughter
shines from misted eyes,
Storm-forged blade drink deep.
Stench of carnage
fires my blood,
My bride of steel sings in my hand,
Corpse-mounds piled to
touch the sky,
Black fury enshroud me!
Bleed for the gods of war!
Flesh
to sate the worms!
By this sword I rule!
Dreadful fall of
slaughter,
Raw scent of fresh-spilled blood,
Crimson rain falls from the
sky,
Ravens ride the storm.
Black cloud of arrows, red storm of
swords,
Dark wave of carnage... slaughterfall!
By blood and steel I
rule!
(Lyrics: Byron, Music: Jonny & Chris)
