Barbarian AssaultOut from the woods they sprang forthAxes raised, mouths foaming with rage Tattooed savage beasts on the hunt Deranged bloodlust shining in their eyes Barbarian warriors - Painted with the pentagram Skulls of enemies - Their grinning trophies of war They overran the first cities by the next dawn Raided and burned every house to the ground Panic broke out as rumous spread Fleeing, thousands were trampled to death Worse still the fate of those left behind No one was left alive All defences had been utterly crushed Wave upon wave, they came from the north to maim, kill and destroy. Weapons of steel worn out From cutting and cleaving, through flesh and bone No quarter given, this nation will burn, boiling in its own decadent fat. Then the horde fell upon the great cathedral Last refuge of leaders and saints Dragged out the front The cardinal begged for his miserable life He knew where others were hidden Thirty lives sold for a silver coin each So they left him alive In vaults underground With thousands of starving rats And the head of his king in his hands Blood, flames, ruins, broken remains The legacy of this marauding force Barbarian Assault! The heavens doth tremble before their might |
