Cauldron Born - By This Axe I Rule lyrics

rate me

Outlaw, Exile of Atlantis

My tribesmen turned on me

They said, I could slay in war

but not in mercy

They tied a girl to a stake to be burned alive

My dagger found her heart mercifully she died

I fled into the sea

Sailing toward my fate

I the Barbarian King

They try to poison me in my wine

They try to kill me in my chambers at night

But I was a man before a King

By This Axe I Rule

Outlaw, Exile of Atlantis

A savage in a foreign land

Valusia was the kingdom

Fate had delivered to my hand

We stormed the castle a howling

My mercenaries and I

Blood drunk wolves in the night

I slew the tyrant King

Took the crown from his gored head

Kull, the barbarian King

They try to poison me in my wine

They try to kill me in my chambers at night

But I was a man before a King

By This Axe I Rule

[Solo]

Outlaw, Exile of Atlantis

I sit the topaz throne

Brooding and seeking

some sort of meaning alone

I looked into the mirrors of Tuzun Thune

Seeking answers from beyond the stars

Voices cried back to me

Be not bound by the laws of the land

Civilized man can never be free

They try to poison me in my wine

They try to kill me in my chambers at night

But I was a man before a King

Rush in dogs and die!

They try to poison me in my wine

They try to kill me in my chambers at night

But I was a man before a King

By This Axe I Rule

[outro]

Down drowned forests, sunken mountains

ride the echoes of valor on ghost white steeds

Legacy of Atlantean Kings
