The Hangman of Prague (video clip) Lyrics


In the gothic splendour of

the chapel of Saint Menceslaus.

Golden door with seven locks,

seven keys within your hand.

Ancient crown of Bohemia

placed upon your head.

Sharpening your spears.

The hangman's disciples, vomiting forth death

Murderous power, rabiate hate,

harbinger of suffering.

The malignance of malevolence

rises beyond benevolence

Smite your foes that they may die,

splattering blood across the sky.

Architect of genocide

in death taking pride.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

Thousand-eyed Angel of Death

armed with flaming sword.

Spread your wings, let the killing begin.

The hunter becomes the hunted.

Hangmen also die.

Morningred, morningred

shines us to soon be dead.

Retaliating from beyond.

Killing, bloodspilling,

made through carnage.

Seas of blood, seas of blood.

Morningred, seas of blood.

In the gothic splendour of

the chapel of Saint Menceslaus.

Golden door with seven locks,

seven keys within your hand.

Smite your foes that they may die,

splattering blood across the sky.

Architect of genocide

in death taking pride.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

The shape of things to come.

Hangmen also die.

Morningred, morningred

shines us to soon be dead.

Retaliating from beyond.

Killing, bloodspilling,

made through carnage.

Seas of blood, seas of blood.

Seas of blood, seas of blood.
