The Messenger

In the midst of the glare of the searing flame
Dark forces play their part
A Pharaoh crowned of the ancient blood
Brought to life by the blackest art
In an age where the might of man
Sweeps all before its guns
A timeless evil reawakens
Striding from the setting sun

With every step the screaming starts
In Cairo's darkened streets
The Pharaoh's will to subjugate
Till the world lies broken at his feet
No living force could break his hold
Chaos grips the land
We have awoken death itself
The world will reach its final stand

I am the messenger - and I have returned
I am the messenger - with me the world will burn
I am the messenger - ancient evil broken free
I am the messenger

The Squadron's war may fade from here
The thirst it calls again
We'll fly into the blackest skies
And dine on blood and pain
But the evil we disturbed
Has been released for ever more
Now these burning sands of blood
Will only ever know the taste of war
