Overlords of Chaos

Through the darkness and the dawn Picts wage war on Hyrkania Aquilonia bathed in blood All share the spoils of Hyboria Know O prince Even the gods may die When kings and warriors fall And enter the great hall Know O prince If the souls of those who died Are charged over the odds Behold the death of the gods Then it came, the glacial age Before earth's last convulsion Nordic tribes did swarm south Spreading carnage and destruction (Repeat chorus) On this night warlords fight Merchants of gore, march off to war (Repeat chorus)

Hyborian wars brought chaos and doom Plunged our weary world in gloom Men and gods fought their best In sacrifice their fate was cast An ending in fire Hyboria burns away An ending in fire Hyboria burns away The ghost kings depart for aye On crystal ships they sail away One last glimpse unto their time Desolation left behind (Repeat chorus) Under a blood red sky warriors died Funeral of the gods to hall up high Thrones of ruins forevermore Hyboria cleansed by flames of war Sons of Aryas rise from the fall An age reborn awaits us all (Repeat chorus)

Into the depths of the earth Beneath the azure sea We've passed the gateways of slumber Our final destiny Dead but dreaming The old one waits for a sign From his dwelling in R'lyeh Cthulhu shall rise Times of despair, times of turmoil Yet loathsome forms beyond uncoil Forsaken hope, forsaken kind Madness shall wreck the mortal mind No gods left to bow before They sleep now forevermore Before mankind lays waste once more The old ones will stride to the shore Overlords of chaos Overlords of chaos Prepare to perish, prepare to strive As unknown nightmares come alive Forget the glory, forget the pride And honour is but to survive (Repeat bridge) (Repeat chorus) Temples and altars crumbled to dust The lyrics of bards are flecked with rust Fading away echoes of their rhyme Their magic forever engulfed by time Empires rise, empires fall From high thrones man craved it all Battles won, battles lost All the conquests have their cost (Repeat bridge) (Repeat chorus)

The day dawns rending the sky Unsheathed swords held up high Gods of war hear my battle cry For many warriors today shall die Marching with a trumpet's din As each king boasts their kin I fight the battles in glory vain So that braggart kings may reign Ride maidens ride Across the battle plain Ride maidens ride Choosers of the slain Valhalla's gates open wide For fallen heroes that have died White winged steeds sweep the field Yet my spirit I shall not yield Ride maidens ride Across the battle plain Ride maidens ride Choosers of the slain Whatever toils I faced before The scent of treachery I bore I've fed on wrath and on hate Their own bane forged my fate Kings choked in their own moans Let the vultures pluck their bones They have tried to put me down Now their heads roll on the ground (Repeat chorus)

Dark horsemen hordes At dawn they ride For the riddle of steel My father has died Two snakes together Facing each other I'm sworn to revenge Seeking this standard Cimmeria...Cimmeria... Gladiator and pirate Mercenary and thief Treading the jewelled thrones Under my sandaled feet I've roamed in kingdoms Lay spread across the world And I shall be king Where once chaos whirled Cimmeria...Cimmeria... My fate was forged In that distant land The name men called me Forgotten, banned It was long ago Innocence, callow And hunts and wars Are like shadows Cimmeria...Cimmeria... Cimmeria...Cimmeria...

We seldom call For the grim lord of the mound Or he shall cast upon us Doom and death unbound If you beseech for aid Like many did before Cimmerian's chief god Will laugh forevermore Crom - Wrath of Crom Crom - Wrath of Crom The savage gloomy one Has gifted man at birth Valour pleases Crom So honour thee with mirth Use the strength and courage Wisely on your way The fire in your heart The will and might to slay Crom - Wrath of Crom Crom - Wrath of Crom Before his high throne One day you shall kneel A riddle must be solved The discipline of steel May the dead depart With shield, sword and helm Their souls will wander In Crom's grey misty realm (Repeat chorus)

Beyond the cold And grim northern winds Stands a kingdom On the snowy plains Fabled empire At the edge of the world Within its fortress Fiery magic reigns From the skull gate they shall ride A dreadful race side by side Hyberborean hordes White hand coven And queen Vammatar Once more gathered To spawn forth their allies Muttering spells In eerie arcane tongue Legions of the dead From the crypt now rise From the skull gate they shall ride A dreadful race side by side Hyberborean hordes We came to fight Against ancestral foes The blades hissed And the arrows sang White masked lackeys Pursue us without rest Until we perish In this accursed land From the skull gate they shall ride A dreadful race side by side Hyberborean hordes

We were born to conquer and rule the night It's in our blood we live to fight We quench our hunger with loot and war And crave the realms of evermore We are road warriors We are road warriors With my brothers on my side To raging battles with death we ride Show no mercy and kill at will Victor warlords praise only steel We are road warriors We are road warriors Make us your kings, none shall defy For we shall never let metal die Bow to the masters, heirs to the throne We grasp the power of fire and brimstone We are road warriors We are road warriors

Drum thrumming raised an exulting grunt At each full moon savage bands hunt Under paling stars a pit of charred bones Sacrificed victims on shadowy palm groves Fear...the night Fear the night Fear...the night Fear the night The demon-god worship revels in death Their hideous hunger for human flesh Ancestral rites, embodying the beast Squatted to glut, cannibal feast Fear...the night Fear the night Fear...the night Fear the night

Beyond the red horizon A Stygian citadel lies Veiled in a purple mist Entombed in time Thieves travel miles Amazed by jewels and gold They do not care or fear The stories bards have told Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia The gates are wide open Stalk among the ruins So ancient yet enchanted Slumbering in lurid nimbus Enter the black stone temple Behold the priesthood scrolls And the great serpent of gold Once worshipped in ways of old Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia Plumbed deep into evil depths You awoke the snake-god yet again The fiery sparkling ruby eyes of Set Mesmerised, soon to join the dead Lost in desert retreats And brooding river Styx Remnants of an impious past A Stygian curse still lives Bards will always tell About a citadel lost But many still will venture To sack at all cost Dark shadows of Stygia Dark shadows of Stygia

There was a time when by the axe we ruled And Aquilonia was at our feet We were men before we were kings That never knew the word defeat Crown of iron Crown of iron There is a time the burden drags ever on Adders conspire betrayal schemes A toast with wine to all the battles fought Let others dream imperial dreams Crown of iron Crown of iron Now we look back with sadness in our eyes Adventure and lust are memories past Glory days are over, honour is what we've kept Thus to die free at last There comes a time of great weariness And the throne room becomes a cage Upon our brows the crowns cease to sparkle We're fat, bald and bent with age (Repeat chorus)

In the days of yore They have ruled the earth The stars are aligned They shall soon come forth So it is written, it shall be done So it is written, it shall be done R'lyeh rise Chaos unleashed Binding spells broken Cthulhu released So it is written, it shall be done So it is written, it shall be done "That is not dead Which can eternal lie And with strange aeons Even death may die" The old ones were The old ones are And shall be again In worlds afar (Repeat chorus)
