Orkrist - The Ancient War Spirit lyrics

rate me

In old times, <br />

When the horde maraud the lands of another hordes, <br />

And dusk washed the days with blood away<br />

Black gods rised from their realms<br />

To favour their warriors<br />

With the truly might of the ancient war spirit<br />

<br />

I am the embodiment of gods and from<br />

Night comes the power of my soul<br />

War is my mistress and war's my only lust<br />

Eternal seems the thirsty trail for blood and all alive<br />

So hear my mass<br />

<br />

In front of the gate<br />

Stands black dragon of time<br />

From his mouth lashes the flame<br />

It's the downfall of all weird<br />

<br />

Far like the shores of Avalon<br />

Are the times of gleaming swords<br />

The gales of the centuries<br />

Streamed the life so far<br />

And away<br />

<br />

A total eclipse of the world, <br />

It's the night of the day, <br />

Eternity grey<br />

This world only life can destroy, <br />

While the mortals they die<br />

In this glorious night<br />

<br />

Now, now there's light, <br />

In the overcast skies, <br />

In the warrior's eyes<br />

<br />

Sunless are the eyes of night<br />

Wrapped face by bloody shroud<br />

Just dreams full of obscutiry<br />

That the fate leaves them behind<br />

<br />

Descend deity of daylight thorn<br />

My arms will raise to you<br />

Grip my sword by hand of Lord<br />

Flip them all in Tartarus<br />

<br />

Demons of wide galaxies<br />

Enter the world of light<br />

So kneel before dark majesty<br />

Mean worshippers of Christ<br />

<br />

Witches from the ancient worlds<br />

Have powered me with might<br />

The creatures of their untold spells<br />

Will follow me tonight, <br />

My path<br />

<br />

I and the dream<br />

Of the glorious empire<br />

We will rise from the storms<br />

As the final day'll income<br />

<br />

Where once there were pride<br />

And shining of splendour<br />

Will rebirth from the womb<br />

The eternal kingdom of war<br />

<br />

And so ends the shrift of the warrior's soul, <br />

Triumphant and yearning as never before
