Dead Knights Rite Lyrics

Dead Knights Rite lyrics

As thunder borne upon the wind

Was heard the battle's wild uproar

See the angels of the dead

Seek blood dripping crimson red



Amidst the heaps of foemen slain

Drenched with battle's bloody rain

On the plate-mail rattled loud

The arrow-shower's rushing cloud



Spear-torrents swept away

Ranks of foes from light of day



In the dark the spears were whet

Grimly pointed metal shone

Dread the weapons of the knights

Battered shield and blood-smeared
swords



Ravens, rain-soaked lurked the feast

Nesting redly
the deceased

Grim the jaws that shook their shields

Red the fangs
that bit the bones



Spear-torrents swept away

Ranks of foes
from light of day
