Darkness awakened Arisen with the moon Hallowed soil now exhumed
Bloodshed unending Each night slept in fear Since the old King first appeared
He is the one who walks after death The shifting shape that hungers for flesh Passing through the stone of his ancient shrine Beyond the forlorn throne To live is to die
Arriving from Northlands, he strode A champion of valor and strength
“Go now", the chieftain spoke "Return this mare from whence it came”
With sword in hand; axe, shield, and spear At dawn, he mounted his steed
The hero’s pursuit of the aptrgangr To bring back the head of a King
Crimson is the forest Tracks in the snow Where the restless spirit roamed
Entered the barrow The corpse rest inside On decayed lips grew a smile
He is the one who walks after death The incarnate curse, the scourge of man The bringer of madness, invader of minds Beyond the forlorn throne To live is to die
At once, the torch extinguished Frost and twilight filled the vault
Quickly, he reached for his sword Before the lich could grasp his throat
Swinging with force, he cut through the air Like the will-o-the-wisp, ‘twas was no longer there
Gripping his steel, he turned to attack Feeling its breath on the back of his neck
Bringing the bastard down
From stab-wounds came forth White worms and dust
Along with the gilded crown Fell the eldest of blood
Slaughtered limb from limb, The King fell to his knees Writhing with the sound Of a thousand screams
Fire! Fire consumed the headless remains Scorching, burning, conquered by flames
Silenced at last, The smoldering ashes were cast Into the sea (Into the sea)
He is the one who walks after death The incarnate curse, the scourge of man The bringer of madness, invader of minds Beyond the forlorn throne To live is to dieTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
