For Blood, Honour and Soil

A thousand misty riders came With swords in hand and mighty steeds Brave men did stand their ground 'gainst opponents mightier than gods The swords did meet in glorious strife And tears from the heavens fell unto the ground The ravens came, hungry and greedy To feast upon the flesh of fallen men The strivings lasted until twilight The death of many men and many a noble knight In glorious strife with weapons so bright But none could withstand their overwhelming might A thousand misty riders came With swords in hand, triumphant and brave Bloodied men collaps'd in pain Left to die forsaken by their gods Their swords did cut like a scythe through hay And blood from the wounds did feed the thirsting soil The ravens watch'd, impatient for their hour Hungry for the flesh of still breathing men

An old man sits on his throne His limbs all weaken'd and grey What is a king with no kingdom to rule This quandary troubles his mind [Chorus:] I am the greatest 'neath the heavens No thief shall own what is mine The earth shall tremble in fear When the dying whisper my name They came to the shores from the west His crown and sceptre to claim In bloody conflict the scores would be set In a battle over land and fame His men stood by upon the field No battle they would shun Despite their armour and wooden shields Their blood soon caress'd by steel [Chorus] A young herald rode forth Imperial was his voice: Return to us the crown of thine; To whom it rightfully belongs: Lest our fury be releas'd In full strength upon thy weary followers: This is our claim and our threatening, Be well advis'd and comply [Bridge] The sun did rise at dawn The field soon soak'd with blood With superior courage and arguments of steel Their claim both right and just His soldiers fell despite their might All pierced by arrows and spears And those who survived fled the field With unbearable shame in their hearts The old man could but weep His defeat he could not deny With gun-stones and swords; his army destroy'd And the soil discolour'd with blood [Chorus]

(Lyrics inspired by the Norman Invasion, 1066 A.D.) Hark our steeds for present service nigh We are legion Soon our swords with English blood will meet The signs of war advance Behold the sun does shine upon the field Hate is rising Insert your spurs into your horse's hides The banners of war advance Our swords will mark our stand By glory this our right Once more unto the field Once more we stand and fight Our triumph soon at hand In battle shining bright Once more unto the field Once more we stand and fight Glory is beckoning With lustre and fame We ignore the banners of truce And set forth on our righteous claim Our ranks are standing proud Triumphant in heart Awaiting the orders to march With their lives most willing to part Glory is beckoning With lustre and fame We ignore the banners of truce And set forth on our righteous claim Our banners are hanging proud With splendour and might We ignore all dangers at hand And set forth on our battle bright Hark our steeds for present service nigh We are legion Soon our swords with English blood will meet The signs of war advance Behold the sun does shine upon the field Hate is rising Insert your spurs into your horse's hides The banners of war advance Our swords will mark our stand By glory this our right Once more unto the field Once more we stand and fight Our triumph soon at hand In battle shining bright Once more unto the field Once more we stand and fight

Dare them to fight upon the morning field To join in battle under the sun Stout men mounted on armour'd steeds Awaiting fair triumph or to join with the gods Longing for morn, the hour of play To join in battle under the sun Eternal fame to those who live through the day And no death shall dishonour the brave We redden'd our swords They bit the flesh like a wolverine's jaws Tempting our fate on the fields where our fathers fell A display of power that none had e'er beheld We shed blood Dare them to fight upon the morning field To join in battle under the sun Stout men mounted on armour'd steeds Awaiting fair triumph or to join with the gods Longing for morn, the hour of play To join in battle under the sun Eternal fame to those who live through the day And no death shall dishonour the brave We redden'd our swords They bit the flesh like a wolverine's jaws Tempting our fate on the fields where our fathers fell A display of power that none had e'er beheld

A lonely man on a lonely journey Bewildering ways he rode The heavens did not treat him fairly And the winds did chill him to the bones [Chorus:] Through icy storms in dim-lit moonlight His search would ne'er end His hauberk shone brighter than any sun His sword was adorn'd with purest of gold A woollen cloak cover'd his weary face A face frost-bitten and old [Chorus] His fearless steed he held most dearly No beast was e'er so bold It's snow-white mane with lustre shone And its hoofs ne'er touch'd the ground [Chorus] His deeds in strife he cheerfully remember'd In battle he rejoiced Ne'er before had he met his match Many a time strivings he arous'd

Fearless and angry they rode Their horses black as night The earth trembled beneath their feet And none dared stand in their way In numbers full fifteen hundred Their might greater than mountains high Cursed by the heavens, blessed with disease Immortal were their names [Chorus:] Riders of the imperial guard Heroic and brave like the kings of the realm Riders Bravery adorns their resolute hearts The blood ran red at the kiss of the sword Its victims fell dead to the ground They smiled with a baleful glare It soothed their hearts to see them die Banners were broken, shields were crushed Leaving black scars on the earth They screamed their hate at the uncaring sky Their souls were daemonized [Chorus] Their office at hand they served in faith Their loyalty pledged to the king Clad in the finest silks and leather Victory they would bring The bliss of triumph remained in their hearts Blackened and wicked they would not repent Their path once so bloody now at peace And only silence remained [Chorus]

They raised their swords as if to pierce the skies Ignoring all others Their weapons forged by daemon-hands Enslaved since the time of creation The skies above grew black as night Revolting 'gainst the legions below Nameless soldiers of the ancient race Corrupted by their blackened swords The carrion birds circled the skies Awaiting their hour The clash of titans in mortal land Thrice-damned and chosen to die Through charnel clouds and mortar dust Dark ruin and empty despair Pierced and mangled by blackened iron Scented with sin and sweet corruption Scented with sin and sweet corruption Twisted with pain from the wounds still bleeding Scented with sin and sweet corruption Twisted with pain from the wounds still bleeding They raised their swords as if to pierce the skies Ignoring all others Their weapons forged by daemon-hands Enslaved since the time of creation The skies above grew black as night Revolting 'gainst the legions below Nameless soldiers of the ancient race Corrupted by their blackened swords The carrion birds circled the skies Awaiting their hour The clash of titans in mortal land Thrice-damned and chosen to die Through charnel clouds and mortar dust Dark ruin and empty despair Pierced and mangled by blackened iron Scented with sin and sweet corruption

I know your deepest fears I'm your friend, let me take you there You will feel the touch of fire The taste of flesh in depraved desire Have you seen the things I've seen Perverted minds and sickening dreams I can sense your fading power Welcome to the 11th hour I have seen all things unreal Obscuring clouds could not conceal Vision blurred by fantasy Diluted mind revel in ecstasy I know all things untold Magic spells and wizards old A tragic fate revealed this hour A labyrinth of illusive power Have you seen the things I've seen Perverted minds and sickening dreams I can sense your fading power Welcome to the 11th hour

Enemies fell by the edge of the sword Great anger was caused With our blades we hewed their king And let his life go forth [Pre-chorus:] Gilded helmets and splendid weapons Fast horses and shining coats of mail Well prepared for spoil and rape 'gainst the bastard king we did prevail [Chorus:] So come ye from the shadows Fear no longer for your wretched lives The enemies among us Have by our swords been pacified The next morn they rode for revenge Our ambush was prepared Their anger had blinded their eyes Their deaths were assured [Pre-chorus] [Chorus]
