Blood Axis

Blood Axis - The Ride lyrics

rate me

When doors lie open at halloween

On glimmering hills in lands unseen

The oldest of all that the world gave birth

Ride again through the hills of earth

Long before the word was spoken

No one scarred or promise broken

From dust before the first day's sun

The children of the twilight come

When the grey storms rose on the windy plain

And the Corn Mother sang for the springing grain

They carved the chalk downs on the hill

The Grey Horse rode and it's riding still

When the eagles came with their wings outspread

And the hard roads rang to the legions dread

The wall ran straight from coast to coast

Under the starlight rode the Host

When they came from the north with their axe and plow

And the one-eyed god hung from the bough

Nine nights between the earth and sky

These are the hosts come riding by

When clambering bells and chanting priests

Proclaimed the dead god from the east

And churches rose on every hand

Still the Grey Host rode the land

When gold was god and labor cheap

And they herded men like dogs herd sheep

Through furnace, glare and smoky mill

The Grey Host rode and it's riding still

Through towered blocks and littered streets

Where sirens wail and dottirs sleep

Where hope lives god only knows

All the gods died long ago

Still the Grey Host rides through the dead of night

And the city's a shadow unto their sight

For beyond the mist of centuries

Still shine the stars and the ancient tree

Out of the darkness

On the road where the debt is run

Cold as moonlight

Terrible as the sun
