Naked steel (the warrior`s saga) lyrics

Artist  : Bal sagoth 
Song : Naked steel (the warrior`s saga)
 
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: Battle Magic empowers my thews! 
THE ORACLE OF WAR: The crows will pick your bones
clean... 
THE WARRIOR: Red-Tooth thirsts to smite and
slaugther! 
THE ORACLE OF WAR: 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: 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...
