Lyrics

Black legions ravening for blood
Dark lords hearken to my call
Warriors rise forth from the earth
Battle-spells empower me
The throne of kings, the summoning
Marble halls sunk 'neath the waves
Storm-wolves a prowl (beneath) the ebon moon
Immortal hordes, pledge me thine steel!

The clarion call of battle sounds
Iron gleams in baleful flame
Slaughter shines from misted eyes
Storm-forged blade drink deep
Stench of carnage fires my blood
My bride of steel sings in my hand
Corpse-mounds piled to touch the sky
Black fury enshroud me!

Bleed for the gods of war!
Flesh to sate the worms!
By this sword I rule!

Dreadful fall of slaughter
Raw scent of fresh-spilled blood
Crimson rain falls from the sky
Ravens ride the storm

Black cloud of arrows, red storm of swords
Dark wave of carnage... slaughterfall!

By blood and steel I rule!
