Winterbane lyrics

Cleanse steel in carnage - Unleash chthonic Darkness

Scud stochastic vortex - Blitz vicious bastards

Sheath blades in carcass - Disembowel tangled skein

Upon ripe flesh we harvest - Human grain mortal pain

Reaper rides on genocides' arc of scythes.

Combat casts the warrior - warfare marks the age

Stone to bronze to iron - steel is our rage!

Blood soaked grimoires spell - Hel a million ways

Vellum spills the venom - a poison chalice sprays.

Gods of War! Exhort the hordes as battle roars.

A Dragon dives Belching hives of serpent flies

Scribes skewer history - Truth dies in the telling

Scribes skewer history - Truth dies in the yelling of lies!

Afford us our sins. Bloodlust our wings

In death's domain of Winterbane.

Death wept that grim day - gutting ghost from viscera

Flaying soul from the clay - cleaving mind from terror.

Reavers rode roughshod - 'cross the skull-crushed plain

Legions mass the grave - where spirits shriek insane.

Fire drakes dive. Burn ranks alive. Dead worlds collide.

Ravens glide. Swoop and pluck the Hero's eyes.

Scars carve the memory - truth lies in the cutting

Scars carve the memory - truth lies in the culling of lies

Seraphim soar above the ichor

The sea of slain at Winterbane.

Wilderness will not claim the beast

Nor civilized state deny its feast

Not gibberish of madman, hysteric chant of priest

Nor lovers' brutal sighs, lend the savage peace.

A demon raised in flames must stride

Stricken trails in stark divide

The frozen waste of Winterbane

To face the monster still inside.

Deep within its burning eyes

A killer stirs, starts to rise...

Reavers ride the ice-crest tides

Thunderous hooves churn the skies.
