The Parchment lyrics

When the moon will rise again

Until we read the Parthian skin

Broken fears warring days are here again

'Fore we all to dust descend

Heaven knows when life will end

God to know in the mire, put out the fire

Know there is a cross to bear

In your primal quest of fear

No quarter now is given no less

Aslumber was my main ideal

Asunder did my spirit steal

Sceptered race uttered words in disgrace

Sweet revenge will be ours

Vengeance of a shaken world

Just remember that patience is no sin

And to find another way

Live to breathe another day

Lord of light in the darkness, our guide

In a tempest never shaken

Edge of doom is not mistaken

Countenance is not a sin

Gallant king, we bow to him

Fierce as wolf with a leopard skin

Dark and bitter deep within

Invader punished with his life

Vanquished in the morning

Sea of blood in light divine

Unholy reverence enjoyed

Intoxicated with their hell

Man immortal sickness dwell

Savage beasts troops engage

Assembled here to butcher blades

Smoke has darkened in the air

Smell of death and deep despair

Wilderness a tyrant dream

Sell your soul not give them power

Slay upon imperial crown

Witness now the witching hour

Bound himself to oath and king

Such loyalty, a shameless thing

Youth of agony still burn

Shedding parents blood

Never say a prayer to me

For this crime and treachery

Drinking from your cup of wisdom true

Many men will follow you

Now an army is raised

And our gods, they be praised

Death is but a guilted edge

Shall no more than we will pledge

Hear the cry we are ready to believe

The prodigal has returned

Give us our own revenge

With the power he learned

We will burn the same again

A betrayal of angels in a foreign land

A revenge for the merciful destiny at hand

For all those who have written

In the sand will be told

That the same will happen, searching for gold

Like a fire in the sky

I can feel strength return

Heading for afterlife, meet me there
