lyrics

"Spears of the Empire"

Dawn breaks in acrid fear. The suffering will resume.
Bodies scrape across the stone with sand in every wound.
Bred in chains and born of tears, the wretched beg may death come soon.
Far away in foreign lands, a cruel hand delivers doom.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
e spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of steel.
For all who would live will kneel.

Endless days in helpless rage. The whip across the skin.
Bow before the exalted sign; the crushing from within.
e cost of immortality. Ten million souls will share this fate.
e monumental vanity bestows a dire undying hate.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
The spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of fire.
Building the throne ever higher.

Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast

[solo]

A fervent prayer from an arid throat.
bereft of all but a thread of hope.
The mortal choice by war's demand;
To live as slave or die as man.

[solo]

Bleed – for your king – for your god – for your life
Bleed – for your king – for your soul – for all time

Night surrounds with jackal's howls. The shadows hide the horde.
For those escaped, horrors await; the twisted beasts of ancient lore.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
The spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of fire.
Building the throne ever higher.

Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast
