Dark Victory Lyrics


Fires blazing, banners fly

Rotting corpses piled around us

Pure blood flows, putrid wine

Feast of flesh, unholy banquet

Vicious battle, countless dead

To the victors: spoils and riches

A thousand lifetimes now history

New chapter opens here tonight

Fires in the night

Songs of victory

Pyres for the white

Now that all lay cold and dead

Cries to the skies

Songs of victory

Dark horde arise

A world now turned to red

Profane dances, ancient songs

Carnal sins around the firelight

Maggots feasting, a stench of death

Golden throne caked with black blood

Now a leader: The Angel Black

Made a saviour, the chosen master

Unholy minions rally ’round

Drink to future conquests won

Feast is over, embers glow

East horizon, red dawn rising

Generals massing, plans unfurled

And so begins The Campaign of Death

Rid the world of the mortal filth

Gather ’round The Blackened Angel

Sound the war horns, the battle cry

Dark horde again defiles the sky
