Lyrics
[Legends etched into the ancient stone dolmens on the dark moors...]
[The oracle of war:] The crows will pick your bones clean.. Never sweet the kiss of cold steel
The exultation of battle..
[The warrior:] Blades aflame with witch-fire burning Bright swords blessed by nine king's blood The elf-witch weaves war-spells upon us Neath the wolf-moon's gaze we shall slake our steel!
[The warrior:]</i> battle magic empowers my thews! [The oracle of war:]</i> the crows will pick your bones clean.. [The warrior:]</i> red-tooth thirsts to smite and slaughter! [The oracle of war:]</i> never sweet the kiss of cold steel..
[The shaman's decree:] Born beneath the thrice-cursed cromlech (destined for deeds of greatness) Three stars aligned to assauge thine newborn cries, foretold, the hilt of Red-tooth awaits thine hand (kingdoms shall fall before thee!), and in the Nine scrolls thine death prophesized
[The warrior:] The clarion of battle beckons me... red-tooth crackles with searing spectral Energy. aye, emperors and kings shall perish beneath my blade! the head of the Eastern chieftan adorns my spear... I've a throne to usurp! into the thick of The fray!
[The shaman's decree:] This heart that pounds like a hammer This heart that pounds so strong This heart that pumps a great warrior's blood This heart will pound for half as long
[The warrior's vow:] By all the gods... I swear the ireful edge of dwarf-forged steel shall meet All who dare stand against me! my destiny awaits... I shall carve my path in Carnage, and inscribe my saga upon the scrolls of legendry in the spilled Blood of slaughtered kings!
[The oracle of war:]</i> carnage! and the crows shall feast upon the eyes of the Slain!
The final dolmen of the dark moors is mysteriously missing, believed removed Thousands of years ago by troll war-bands as a trophy of battle..
