When Swords Sing Slaughter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Barbaric hammer on the borders pound, the horns of war once again resound
We watch like vultures your weakened frontier... Cimmerian raiders, our moment is near
When swords sing slaughter there is no time for you to run
When swords sing slaughter your ending is just begun
Hammerhearts pumped your ancestor's blood
And death or glory was all they asked for
Now you dishonour their name and their power
Dressing like wenches and smelling like flowers
When swords sing slaughter there is no place for you to run
When swords sing slaughter you will no longer see the sun
When swords sing slaughter there is no time for you to run
When swords sing slaughter your ending is just begun
Your feeble garrison cannot resist
Civilization has made you all weak
We are the nightmare that came from the past
Your spineless lackeys shall feed our bloodlust
When swords sing slaughter there is no place for you to run
When swords sing slaughter you will no longer see the sun
When swords sing slaughter there is no time for you to run
When swords sing slaughter your ending is just begun
