The Oath

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 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 [SOLO] 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 [SOLO]
