VIRGIN STEELE LYRICS

1. Wings Of Vengeance

[MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

[ERINYES:] Cold the Blood of an Angel, cold the Blood in my Heart
Never stand between us or lose the Mystic Art
[APOLLO:] Die cursing the Shadows, die cursing the Light
Everything is changing except the Will to Fight
[APOLLO:] By the Rising of the Sun, you will understand this Night
[ORESTES:] In the Land where your Father died
[ORESTES:] Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall
Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall
[ORESTES:] Cold the Blood of an Angel, cold the Blood of the Sky
Everything is Fated, the Gods to me won't lie
Die cursing the Shadows, die cursing the Light
Everything is wasted, except the Will to Fight
[ALL:] By the Rising of the Sun, you will understand this Night
In the Land where your Father died
[ORESTES:] Into the Mighty Arms of Death
[ELEKTRA & CHORUS:] Into the Darkness we fall
Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall...Spirit....Avenge...Fury...Face the Flames...
[APOLLO & CHORUS:] Come forth rise, take off your chains and fly into the Sky
Stake the Viper, Kill in turn
Fly, make an Oath to the Sky
Win your Kingdom, win the Fame of a God!!!
[ERINYES:] Cold the Blood of an Angel, cold the Blood in my Heart
Everything is Raging, the Damned will choose their Mark
[APOLLO:] Kill, Kill without warning, run the Blood of the Free
Fear lives on a Mountain and Ravages our Dreams
By the Rising of the Sun, you will understand this Night of Fire
[CHORUS:] Into the Mighty Arms of Death
To the Sky we never left
Uncertain Hero you'll win the Day
Violent accounting, Fortune's array!
[ORESTES & CHORUS:] Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall
Into the Mighty Arms of Death
Into the Darkness we fall...we fall...we fall...
In Darkness....now...Descend!

2. Flames Of Thy Power (From Blood They Rise)

[MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

[ERINYES:] I rise on the Mountain, I do what the Gods disdain
Impassive accounting, the Ghost of your Yesterday
[ORESTES:] Fear grips my Soul as I lie awake
Hole in the Sky for I die
FLAMES OF THY POWER-You rise with the Blood
FLAMES OF THY POWER-I worship the Sun
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER-to walk in the Sun like Gods
[ERINYES:] The cries of Forgiveness, the Soldiers of Fallen Grace
The Hope of Tomorrow, the Ghost of your Yesterdays
[ORESTES:] Fear grips my Soul as I lie awake
Hole in my Heart for my Crime
FLAMES OF THY POWER-I worship the Sun
FLAMES OF THY POWER-you rise with the Blood
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER-They walk in the Sunlight Blind
(Oh, what can I do...I see the silent water closing in now
Blood of Yesterday, crossing the Silent Waterways I Rise
Into the Skies of Human Snow, HAMMER THE WIND to Your Throne of Truth
I see Him Shining, watch the Sin pouring down from me! Damn you All...
I rise on the Mountain, I see through the Passage Ways
My Heart cold and pounding, the Ghost of my Yesterdays
This is my Soul washed by the God's Will
Daughter of Zeus hear my Cry
FLAMES OF THY POWER-I rise with the Sun
FLAMES OF THY POWER-They Hunger for Blood
No one remembers standing proudly
FLAMES OF THY POWER-to walk in the Sunlight Shrine

3. Prometheus The Fallen One

[MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO]
[LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

I have dwelt in Heaven's shining Realms of Bliss
I have walked the Halls of Light
Once I lived in Honor with the Deathless Gods
Keeper of a Secret Sight
Now I suffer the Wrath, I suffer the Pain for befriending Man
Proud Rebel Thief, Stealer of Fire, I never kneel
I have chosen, I bleed for Mankind
Watch me die, I am the God in Man
I defied the Father on his Throne of Gold
Now I'm captured here in Chains
And he sends his Eagle down to feast again
On the banquet of my Flesh
Zeus, rain down your Plagues, your unnatural Love
Your unnatural Hate
Blind may I be but Eyeless I see what you'll never know
I am Golden, my Force flies unseen
Blood and Pride, I am the God in Man
Ten thousand years or more, torment and pain
Chained to this lonely crag, the Champion of slaves
And you come bearing gifts to me
Silent as the Grave I receive thee
And what's the Lie there in your eyes...no mercy...
And the Day dawns in Agony
In Silence I wait for my time
I will never, ever yield to you
You have no Power over me...
Release me...oh release me...
A River of Ice, a Mountain of Fire, I'll not reveal the One
Impaled in the Sky forever despised, I'll not reveal the One
Immortal I die, Immortal I die, I'll not give up on Man
Your Son will Survive to Vanquish your Tribe, I RISE!!!
I am Golden, my Blood heals your wounds
Watch me die, I fear no God's Wrath
Cursed and tried, I am the MAN in GOD!!!

4. Gate Of Kings (acoustic version)

[MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

Stay.......Heaven Weeps for thee.......Black Water......Remember.......
There's a Rainbow, cover it in Blood
There's no Light upon my door
There's a Cold Wind, Rising from the Sea
There is Death and nothing more...
But don't turn away with eyes of the blind
There's still Magick in your Soul
There is Magick still...
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet we are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS!!!
There's a Silence, tearing up the ground
Freezing Heart and Shield and Bone
In their grasp I...I see you as you lay
Broken, cold beneath their Rage
We won't turn away with eyes of the blind
There's still Magick in our Souls...(Believe it...)
There is Magick still...
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet we are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS...THE GATE OF KINGS...(No never forget)
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet we are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS...
NO...NO...
Iron Walls surround us, the velvet Kingdom falls
The Ties of Blood will bind us above the Winter Storm...
Sadness Kills the Rainbow, the Mystic Stars entwine
The Rage of Angels guides us into the Void...
Iron Walls and Chains surround us
Yet we are Proud and Free
Nothing Kills the Ties that Bind us
I'll meet you at the GATE OF KINGS...
Stay...'Cause we can't be who we once were...We're so afraid...of who we are...

5. Agamemnon's Last Hour (Silver Sided Death)

[MUSIC & LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

[KLYTEMNESTRA:] I rejoiced as he rained crimson dew on my hands and face...
From the Depths of my Soul...I Hate thee...
Defiler of this House...Defiler of Innocent lives...
[AGAMEMNON:]
Zeus I am struck...a deep mortal wound
Zeus here I die in the Land of my Birth
Where is my Son?
Where's my reward
For services rendered in your Sacred Name...
I'm coming Home...

6. Great Sword Of Flame

[MUSIC BY DAVID DEFEIS & EDWARD PURSINO, LYRICS BY DAVID DEFEIS]

[KLYTEMNESTRA:] Iron sounds sear the wound
Hungry screams fill the Air
Kindred Blood, Infant Blood, Child-Flesh for their Feast
Judgment Falls on the Son
Judgment Falls on the King
Storm of Blood Raging Free
Taste the Blood on my Hands
[KLYTEMNESTRA & AIGISTHOS:]
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Split the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Rip the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
Open Veins, Tear his Heart, Rip the eyes from his head
Under God, under Siege bind their Souls to deceit
Vengeance wrought BY THE GODS, Forged in Sin
Forged by me!!!
Seer and Whore, Thunder Lord
Why should I Weep for Thee
[KLYTEMNESTRA & AIGISTHOS:]
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Split the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Rip the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
[AIGISTHOS:]
I am Born from the Blood of the Feast
She is Born from the Altar of Sacrifice
We are Judgment, Jury and Executioner
Dark instruments of Divine Vengeance, Violence and Justice
Children's Blood, Virgin Blood Anoints Our Sovereignty
Weep now and Atone!
[KLYTEMNESTRA:]
OH! She'll embrace you in Hades!
Black Cloud of Slavery, oh...Silver sided Death
[KLYTEMNESTRA & AIGISTHOS:]
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Split the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Rip the Night
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME in the Sky
GREAT SWORD OF FLAME-Split the Night
