DEATHMARCH LYRICS

1. Intro

[Instrumental]

2. Written In Blood

Written in blood
(Let it be)
Written in blood

On the darkest of nights
In a chamber of stone
Gather's round a black altar
Laiden with bone
A group of men robed
Watch with bright eyes
as a beautiful woman
let's out her last cries

As the woman in bondage
is shackled to stone
the men's faces gleam
and she lets out a groan
And from the shadows
A figure steps forth
Bearing a dagger
And a life ends henceforth

Written in blood
infernal vocations
an unholy display
of profane incantations
let it be written in blood!

Blood smeared on the altar
is left to conjeal
and the men draped in darkness
go down and kneel
another gift given
and more to come soon
The men ready for hunting
Neath the red moon

Torches die down
And all fades from light
and the men once again
embrace the night
They step through the darkness
Over grass and through mud
Their fates shall they follow
as it's written in blood

Let no man feel safety
For all can be found
Torn from their sanctum
To altar then bound
Remember these words
and remember them well
Treasure your daylight
for at night you're in hell

When the night sky is barren
save for a red moon
no man is immortal
That shall be known soon
So close all your windows
and lock all your doors
Though that shall not save you
from the nights horrors

3. Vampires

Graveyard spawn, the night I choose
The blood is the life, my humanity I lose
from shadow to shadow, under cover of dark
From graveyard to alley, for blood I embark
White fangs a gleaming, my eyes light up too
A lone woman I see, at the zenith of the moon
Helpless and lonesome, a perfect delight
for me and my bloodlust, because of my blight

we are the vampires we are undead
we're coming for you our thirst must be fed

My teeth meet her white neck, her blood it comes forth
my tongue runs along it, she's restrained by my force
she lets out a sigh and then falls to the ground
I retreat into darkness with no trace nor a sound
Her body lies lifeless, found by her kin
put into a crypt and corroded by sin
and so cometh from death, a new plague is here
to feed upon the living, to breed upon fear

we are the vampires we are undead
we're coming for you our thirst must be fed
we are the vampires we are undead
we're coming for you our thirst must be fed

They send out their parties under blackness of night
to seek out my evil with their torches alight
strength in numbers or so they presume
I attack with my minions their control I assume
we are the vampires we are undead

4. Voice Of Evil

Lo and behold! The angels die!
From the heaven's above, they plummet from the skies
and so demons come forth, to claim their minds
and to take them back into hells confines
pain and torture, two words they will know
for the angels in bondage, to the void they go
this voice of evil, we let it known
for the forces of hell have only grown

And now with hatred born of millenia of slavery, we break free of our
ancient bindings and strike out at what god holds so close

Out from tartar the demons ride
on flaming steeds into the skies
from blue to black the colours dim
paving the way for eternal sin
fires spawn where once were none
the walls of hell now shadow the sun
humans hopes now writhe in flames
the dying world now cries in pain

And now with hatred born of millenia of slavery, we break free of our
ancient bindings and strike out at what god holds so close

And so...The world is coming to an end
And so...The demons rear their heads
And so...Angels blood falls to the ground
And so...Bodies lay all around

Hell on earth is manifest
This wretched world is laid to rest
Christian kind now hang their heads
For their puny god is dead

5. Heaven's Great Mistake

No longer shall angels stroke their harps with gentle hands
for the plague of Christian kind shall soon be banished from our lands
the heathen's shall unite, and the Christians soon shall fall
for they shall see the power of lord Satan straight and tall
once we were just exiles, banished from heaven's gates
but now we're coming back and we are fulfilling all our fates

For heaven's walls are falling down, the angels cry with pain
as our spears impale their winged bodies and they're puny god is slain
For haven's walls will soon crash down and we will see them break
for we have been the cause of this, heaven's great mistake

our armies amassed we begin the march to heaven's realm
fully armed and fully aware with armour from our feet to helm
through bog and bay, fjord and fall we marched it all the way
until we came upon that realm, in the light of day
and so we waited impatiently for the darkness to fall
and then we gave out wretched cries and charged to kill them all

For heaven's walls are falling down, the angels cry with pain
as our spears impale their winged bodies and they're puny god is slain
For haven's walls will soon crash down and we will see them break
for we have been the cause of this, heaven's great mistake

And with fiendish malevolence we stormed their battlements
cutting down spirit and seraphim alike
Without mercy, we set their temples aflame and cut down those
who fled. None were spared.

All around us rubble lies, the remains of heaven and its filthy lies
burning bodies, decaying flesh, and omipresent dying cries
running down our blades like tears the angels blood doth flow
anger filled but blood lust gone, our eyes with evil glow
exiled once, but now we are back, to claim our rightful space
to sit upon our thrones of bone in gods once beautiful place.

6. The Wretched Wanderer

Boundless forests dying skies above this empty world I fly

Through endless peaks and frozen skies
Above this empty world I fly.
Over snow topped forests gleaming white
As the sun gives off its dying light.

Upon my steed of rotten scales
I bear my rusted plate of mail.
And through my visor frozen tight
My eyes emit infernal light.

For I am the wanderer, legend untold.
Cursed to wander since the days of old.
Though the age of the living has gone and passed
My soul condemned shall ever last

Where seas did churn once all is still
Where the sun did heat once all is chilled
The lands are frozen with my hate
Emotions dark that can't abate

My brethren rumbles as it draws its breath
So much alike the time of its death.
His maw doth gape in eternal hate
for with me does he bear my fate.

For I am the wanderer, legend untold.
Cursed to wander since the days of old.
Though the age of the living has gone and passed
My soul condemned shall ever last

He spreads his wings, we fly away
And so ends another torturous day.
And though the day is but a blight
I find no solace in the darkness of night.

For time has passed and will again
and ever will until the end.
And so until this world doth die
Above this empty world I fly.

7. Legion Of The Night

From the north our armies march to take the throne from thee
to take it back with blades in hand to take it maliciously
where once we ruled we now return with anger gleaming bright
to spill their blood upon the snow, bathed in pale moonlight

Through melees long
Through seas of spears
through showers of blood
through the gore of thousands
Through melees long
Through seas of spears
through showers of blood
through the gore of thousands

Below the hill we lie in wait for our time to kill
to taste their blood upon our lips this urge we must fulfill
the time is here and out we come the legion of the night
to kiss their stomachs with our swords and shed their blood in spite

March! [repeated]

Raising our weapons we cry out with glee
and the blood in our veins fills with raw ecstasy
headfirst and headstrong our armies collide
for the glory of our people, to bring us pride
and avenge our sons who died

8. The Rise Of Nehebu-Kau

Darkness is falling and spirits arise
Hatred and evil now blacken the skies.
With every word chanted a new star will fall
And eternal darkness shall soon cover all

Time corrupts as one shall see
Through bleak and hateful misery
Enslaved for deeds to man unknown
Deprived of godly rightful throne
Where once was love it now bears spite
Where once it healed it now spreads blight
Forced to sleep against its will
Left in chains, that is until...

In robes of darkest crimson
And with purpose set in stone
Chant a group of men determined
to bring back what is unknown
Reciting words forbidden
and foregoing all restrain
In a circle charged with power
to restore an ancient reign

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!
And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau...The great beast now awakes
Nehebu-Kau...Behold the lord of snakes
Nehebu-Kau...Hope has long since gone
Nehebu-Kau...For he has killed the dawn

Darkness is falling and spirits arise
Hatred and evil now blacken the skies.
With every word chanted a new star will fall
And eternal darkness shall soon cover all

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!
And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau...The great beast now awakes
Nehebu-Kau...Behold the lord of snakes
Nehebu-Kau...Hope has long since gone
Nehebu-Kau...For he has killed the dawn

In caverns lost now to the world
a long gone evil wakes
under the sands of a forgotten land
sirring from a cold embrace
ragged breaths grow steady now
and closed eyes open anew
chains of bondage disappear
its strength is now renewed

Behold the serpent headed god
as he breaks free of his tomb
rising from the burning sands
From darkened places now exhumed
And as the skies begin to darken
the world lets out a cry
for all that once was good and pure
has now laid down and died

Darkness has fallen and spirits arose
Hatred and evil have vanquished their foes.
Every word chanted has left the skies bare
And shrouded the world now is in despair

And so we shout his name for all the world to hear!
And so we let the heavens tremble in fear!

Nehebu-Kau...The great beast now awakes
Nehebu-Kau...Behold the lord of snakes
Nehebu-Kau...Hope has long since gone
Nehebu-Kau...For he has killed the dawn

Darkness has fallen and spirits arose
Hatred and evil have vanquished their foes.
Every word chanted has left the skies bare
And shrouded the world now is in despair

9. Aurora Borealis

Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night

Remember this, our endless song
Our dream of journey living on
From our course we'll never stray
The northern lights will guide our way
Carved in stone our names survive
Through our blood we stay alive
Though in this world we shall not stay
The northern lights will guide our way

Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night

Upon my side my sword is sheathed
And on my back my shield
The blackened waves my ship's upon
my true purpose thus revealed
The northern lights above me shine
The colours cascade down
Reflecting on my armour
As I sail away from town

Aurora Borealis, the heaven's are ablaze
As I stare towards the night sky
Its radiance meets my gaze
Aurora Borealis, the earth below it lights
As I look upon the ocean
On these never ending nights
Aurora Borealis, watch over me tonight
Though I sail into an unknown land
My soul will not know fright
Aurora Borealis, lead me on my way
Though my family wishes me at home
I know I cannot stay

Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night

Remember this, our endless song
Our dream of journey living on
From our course we'll never stray
The northern lights will guide our way
Carved in stone our names survive
Through our blood we stay alive
Though in this world we shall not stay
The northern lights will guide our way
