VISIGOTH LYRICS

1. Steel and Silver

Haunted by the shadows of the past
A howling void in my mind
Through the halls of Kaer Morhen it echoes
A remnant of memories left behind
All I have are the swords on my back
I wander but my purpose is clear
White Wolf, Vatt'ghern, Butcher they call me
I am the beast that the beasts will fear

The flames of my eyes set ablaze
Like the silence that burns in my heart
I will not stray from the code of my order
Ride the Path

By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, runes of power be my light
By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, for the wolf is I

Solitude, my companion on the Path
Though I am shunned I am free
For the failings of civilization
Have proven more savage than any beast
As the fires of Novigrad roar
And the stakes of hypocrisy burn
I have felt the hammer of prejudice
Cast by humanity down from its throne

The flames of my eyes set ablaze
Like the silence that burns in my heart
I will not stray from the code of my order
Ride the Path

By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, runes of power be my light
By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, for the wolf is I

Fear this night
Silver is light, be my guide

[Lead: Campana]

Ride out across the Temerian plains
Ride into bloodshed, forever be changed
Dark visions haunt me from cold cosmic realms
Winter eternally reigns
Clad in black iron with hoods rimed in frost
Wielding black magicks form dark spheres beyond
Legions of spectres take flight in the sky
Winter eternally reigns

By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, runes of power be my light
By steel, by silver
I slay like a wolf in the night
By steel, by silver
I slay, for the wolf is I

2. Warrior Queen

She feels the frost and the fire
She feels the roar of desire
Feed her blazing will to live

She'll never fall, never falter
She spills her blood on the altar
Sacrifice for victory
War and destiny

Above a winter battlefield
Thunder sings her name
Warrior queen, forged in steel
Tempered in the flames of war
Fierce and free, fearless conqueror
Goddess of the metal storm

She is the throat of the lion
She is the teeth of defiance
Bared against the skeins of fate

She is the wings of the raven
Against the winds of enslavement
On the field she stands alone
She's come to claim the throne

Across a winter battlefield
She rides with swords and chains

Warrior queen, forged in steel
Tempered in the flames of war
Fierce and free, fearless conqueror
Goddess of the metal storm
Warrior queen

[Lead: Campana]

Cold silence rolls across
The field like a parting kiss
And sorrow fills her aching heart
She marches through the fog
All hope and glory lost
But she came all this way
And she raises a fist to the sky

Hail the coming of the conqueror
Hail the forging of the warrior
She stands alone

Warrior queen, forged in steel
Tempered in the flames of war
Fierce and free, fearless conqueror
Goddess of the metal storm
Warrior queen

3. Outlive Them All

I am the seeker of knowledge beyond space and time
Hounded by merciless hunters eternal in life
Over the oceans and far from my home
Landscapes of war and silence I roam
I feel a fire that burns in my soul
Stoked by the winds of the end

Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
I'll outlast the moon and the sun
Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
Outlive them all, there can be only one

Combat my purpose in life, by the sword I will die
Standing alone I am claiming the ultimater prize
Battlefields echo the clash of our blades
On through the ages, fury and rage
This city skyline bears witness tonight
The time of convergence is nigh


Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
I'll outlast the moon and the sun
Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
Outlive them all, there can be only one

[Lead: Palmer]

[Lead: Campana]

Storming the castles of eternity
The blessing and the curse of immortality
I feel the quickening, it is the key
My soul is the gate, and it is opening

The cosmic fire burning silver and cold
Grants me visions from beyond
I am omega, I'm indomitable
My mind at one with space and time

Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
I'll outlast the moon and the sun
Fear my highland steel
There can be only one
Bow your head and kneel
Outlive them all, there can be only one

4. Hammerforged

Out from the slave pits
By combat's savage rite
You'll claim your destiny
On iron wings you'll fly

Heralded by
The thunder of hooves
Galloping hard through the rain
Fight for your life as battle arrives
You won't give in to the pain

Never to worship
Never to kneel
It's time now to sunder the chains
Never to bow for you won't pledge fealty
Never to live as a slave

Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight ever more
Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight evermore

You're hammer-forged
You are the anvil
You are the blade
You'll ride and you'll fight to the end
Nothing can stand in your way but yourself
Conquer your doubt and ascend

Never to worship
Never to kneel
It's time now to sunder the chains
Never to bow for you won't pledge fealty
You will not live as a slave

Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight ever more
Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight evermore

Heat the steel
Feed the flames
Forge your fate
Break the chains

[Lead: Campana]

Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight ever more
Hear our voices
War leader lead us to war
Feel the fire
The power to fight evermore
You're hammer-forged

5. Traitor's Gate

Cold is the crown of death
Fear in its chilling breath
Howls like wraiths upon the wind

Watch with weeping eyes
Flames on a bleeding sky
I have seen true betrayal

Sorrow fills my soul
Reforged by the cold flames of hate
Past the point off no return

Vengeance guide my hand
Brothers no more, in single combat we stand
So draw your final breath
Bitter is the end

Fly through the traitors' gate
I am the raver that rides on the cold winds of hate
So fear my return

Stars, be my blazing guide
Lighting my way like torches that murders the night
Fear my return

Betrayer, deceiver
My words are a sword of cleansing flame
Betrayer, deceiver
I vomit a course upon your name

Open the Traitors' Gate
So fear my return, I am the hammer of fate

Blood like a ruby curse
Stab wounds ensconced in my spine like a diadem's jewels
Dread crown upon my brow

Die now like the dog you are
Slain by my hand but the doing was no-one's but yours
I am the face of all that you've done

Betrayer, deceiver
My words are a sword of cleansing flame
Betrayer, deceiver
I vomit a course upon your name

Open the Traitor's Gate
So fear my return, I am the hammer of fate

By spite and thunder
Torn asunder
No tomorrow
Now that I've seen what you are I can only bring
Spite and thunder
Feral hunter
Death shall stalk you
No mercy left in my heart and I'll never back down

Silent I stand, grim as the winter night's jaws
Thus I descend, ironclad in my resolve
So make your peace
With every god that abandoned you on your last night
Reap now what you've sown
I am the scythe, I am the revenant blade
Weep now, welcome death

[Lead: Campana]

Betrayer, deceiver
My words are a sword of cleansing flame
Betrayer, deceiver
I vomit a course upon your name

Open the Traitor's Gate
So fear my return, I am the hammer of fate

Die, traitor, die
Look me in the eye
Die, coward, die
As I take your life

6. Salt City

Shadows are banished form the
Darkened thrones they took above our valley city
Slain by a shimmering midnight dawn of neon lights
Revel in the warmth of summer nights
Don't think of sorrows that we left behind
We it the sidewalk and we hold our heads up high

Salt City livin', this is the place that we call home
Salt City livin', we ride beneath the mountain thrones
Salt City livin', this town is ours to take tonight
Salt City livin', we won't rest until the morning's light

Now driving high across the 80
I can see beyond the setting sun
The city lights below a sea of burning stars
So grab a Wasatch, knock it back
And don't forget to grab a few for us
The night is young and so are we and that's enough

Salt City livin', this is the place that we call home
Salt City livin', we ride beneath the mountain thrones
Salt City livin', this town is ours to take tonight
Salt City livin', we won't rest until the morning's light

[Lead: Campana]

Salt City livin', this is the place that we call home
Salt City livin', we ride beneath the mountain thrones
Salt City livin', this town is ours to take tonight
Salt City livin', we won't rest until the morning's light

7. Blades in the Night

I did not choose this life but here I stand
With tempered steel I will repay their betrayals this night
Into the reaches of the shadow land
With demon-fire burning deep in my heart I will fight

From darkness I rise, a wraith in the black
In cover of night, prepare for attack

Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight
Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight

[Lead: Campana]

I'm never seen unless I wish to be
So fear the twilight fall for I am the fist of the moon
I have no time to dwell on sorrows now
This is my path, by fury cursed
And by vengeance consumed

From darkness I rise, a wraith in the black
In cover of night, prepare for attack

Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight
Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight

I am the razor wind that whispers through the trees
With this ancestral blade, I'll conquer any foe
My vengeance will be swift and silent, my judgement deft

From darkness I rise, a wraith in the black
In cover of night, prepare for attack

[Lead: Palmer]

[Lead: Campana]

[Lead: Palmer]

[Lead: Campana]

Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight
Blades in the night
The darkness I ride, in the shadows I fight

8. The Conqueror's Oath

Do you ever feel
That your life was meant to be so much more
As if your soul is lost and far from home
Dashed like a wayward ship
An the rocks of a distant shore

Be still our hearts
And come the flood
Sing through our souls
Like thunder and blood

Stand and swear the conqueror's oath
May your name and deeds live on
Stand and swear the conqueror's oath
Let the ancient fire burn

Are you content
With the life that you lead
Or does a yearning for glory and conquest
Haunt you in fitful sleep

Nothing will change
If you don't take up your arms
And ride unfettered into the unknown
With pride in your heart

Be still our hearts
And come the flood
Sing through our souls
Like thunder and blood

Thrones on the mountains calling your name
Thundering hammers forging you fate
Cut your own path to victory's gates
Never let go of the flame
Purpose and passion, metal and might
Out of the darkness, into the light
Never again will despair take your life
Ride with fire, conquering the night

[Lead: Campana]

Aging warrior, looking back at the life that you've led
Can you say with confidence that you would do it again?
For one day you'll be gone, and all that lives on
Is the honour of thy name and the deeds that you've done

Be still our hearts
And come the flood
Sing through our souls
Like thunder and blood
