Rudhira - Wine Of Defeat lyrics

rate me

She was the diamond in the lands to the south, Beauty so blinding that men dared not see, A smile inspiring tales of angels, Enthralling the men so they fall to their knees.To the north of the mountains, thirsty of brew, A heathen with the strength of ten bears.Slaying crusaders 'till the hangover strikes.Setting his heart on a maiden in the south.Who'd have thought I'd fall for a heathen, But he is the man in my heart.Can this love be nurturedOur worlds will collideOn opposite sides of a war we are chainedWe'll break the chainsAnd taint our bloodIt is not tainted when the heart is pure.I am a heathen, or so I am called by the mob- the masses that kneel down in fearI have consumed the most bitter of wineThe wine of defeat and deceptionOn the fields of our mothers, the ground is now soakedIn the blood of the brothers who died for our home.Our cause was shattered, in pain we are leftThe vile stench of this plague will not fade.A man in my heart that my own won't approveA devil is made of his nameThe men of my kin that my heart won't approveThe kinship must be in the pastCan this love be nurturedOur worlds will collideOn opposite sides of a war we are chainedOur own will break usAnd spoil what we haveWe can not stay where the hearts breed hate.On her way, she's wandering merrySo merry, so full of joy and of doubtWondering, -thinkingWill he embrace me?Over the top, At last she can see the valley, -The valley where lover is awaiting in lustBut thoughts of their families makes her mind and heart rustShe is so weary, a pond is in sight.A nice place to rest before they share their night.In the water reflection a shadow appears.A relentless legion unitingTo forge the fate of our kinCrawl under it's skinIn the blood-pool of treason, oppression and sinLet the bloodshed of tyrants beginCan this hate be nurturedOur worlds did collideOn opposite sides of a war we were chainedI'll break their willsAnd spill their bloodIt is not treason when the hate is pure.Kneel and receive your salvation from hell (repeat)
