Manowar - The Oath lyrics
[Manowar - The Oath lyrics]
Will come in the night
Priests and kings, the alpha and omega
Poison bites
False prophets and deceivers
Swing from the trees
Now, dawn the age of birds drunk with blood
Like lepers with disease
Lord of the sky, Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld
I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry
They'll find no sanctuary
Hidden in their ancestral halls
Let loose the knot that binds
The spirit and the flesh, let it fall
For only courage and heroism
Linger after death
So hold fast thy sword, rejecting pain
Feel the dragon's breath
Lord of the sky, Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld
I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry
I've sworn the oath, I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath
Lord of the sky, Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld
I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry
Burning embers of the second death
Will come in the night
Priests and kings, the alpha and omega
Poison bites
False prophets and deceivers
Swing from the trees
Now, dawn the age of birds drunk with blood
Like lepers with disease
Lord of the sky, Mercury the guide
Lord of the underworld
I swear the sacred rite
I will crucify, slay them with their tribe
Hear my war cry
I've sworn the oath, I've sworn the oath
I've sworn the oath
