The Revenant King

Out across the foothills they rode Banners as black as their souls As a winter sky loomed above Pale as the wind-driven snow I have seen this day in my dreams The hour of my doom drawing nigh Black blades of treachery draw forth my aging blood And I fall, dying on the cold stones of my throne Retake the usurper's throne The blades of our fallen burst forth with the revenant's breath Destined to fight, even in death These are the bones that they thought they had shattered But we'll never rest Immortal blood courses through my veins I won't be denied; your battle's lost in vain I have returned to reclaim my rightful throne From realms beyond the waking world We'll rend your flesh from bone There the young man sits on my throne Surrounded by ill-gotten gains Ebon hair and eyes black like coal Murder and thievery his way I see the horror gripping his mind As we descend on his ranks A thousand men they thought they had killed ride out from the woods And our steel thirsts for betrayers' flesh and blood Retake the usurper's throne The blades of our fallen burst forth with the revenant's breath Destined to fight, even in death These are the bones that they thought they had shattered But we'll never rest Immortal blood courses through my veins I won't be denied; your battle's lost in vain I have returned to reclaim my rightful throne From realms beyond the waking world We'll rend your flesh from bone [Solo: Leeland] We traveled realms beyond the crystal moon And shadowed keeps Where mighty serpents stalked ensorcelled seas And ice-crowned peaks So here we are to bring your end my friend And none shall weep Betrayal's debt paid in your foul blood The price is steep We are revenant We have returned So bow your heads We are your doom The hoarfrost breaks as steel-shod hooves make known their presence to the night And fires rise against the starwheel, casting smoke into the sky My bloodline was and always will be rightful heirs to this old throne Your life will slake the soil's thirst for sacrifice and blooded stone Immortal blood courses through my veins I won't be denied; your battle's lost in vain I have returned to reclaim my rightful throne From realms beyond the waking world We'll rend your flesh from bone

Deep in the tundra under hyperborean skies The vile necromancer reaps from genocide One warrior lives, his mind is burning as they fall He will not rest until he has avenged them all Hail! From the wastes of the North he rides Hail! Crushing the earth with every stride Tale of blood and might Mammoth rider through the night Ancient warrior The spear of destiny Eyes full of hate Gored upon the tusks of fate Fight against the gods The mammoth rider comes Armed with a spear whose blade was forged from meteors Tempered in the blood of a thousand conquerors Heart filled with hatred for the murder of his tribe Against the sorcerer the mammoth warrior rides Hail! From the wastes of the North he rides Hail! Pounds at the earth like a battle-drum Tale of blood and might Mammoth rider through the night Ancient warrior The spear of destiny Eyes full of hate Gored upon the tusks of fate Fight against the gods The mammoth rider comes [Thus spake the necromancer:] "Your feeble flesh bends to my will! I've seen your future in my crystal ball Your beast of war won't save your skin In shrouded magicks I've foreseen your fall Your end is nigh!" [Solo: Leeland] He rides out from the mountains with vengeance in his eyes Across the rivers and valleys to where the ocean meets the skies Against the sorcerer's army he raises his spear and shield And calls upon his people's gods to bring him victory on the battlefield And he rides to meet his fate Evil magicks rend the sky Bow to the wizard Ancient, twisted necromancy Spells of death Tale of blood and might Mammoth rider through the night Ancient warrior The spear of destiny Eyes full of hate Gored upon the tusks of fate Fight against the gods The mammoth rider comes

[Solo: Jamison] The late October moon rises through the fog Alabaster witness to the rite Hooded figures bowed deep within the trees Thirteen gathered for the sacrifice Deep in the forest thirteen hooded figures stand The hour of the ritual is now at hand They've gathered for the sacrifice A gnarled hand extends above the altar stone An incantation rises from its hoary throat A spell invoked to claim the night Incantation, evil magick rise Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice upon the altar stone Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice unto the pentagram The pale moon bathes the virgin's skin in pallid light Entranced by verses tolled from forms deep in the night Her final breath is drawn in blood As crimson creeps across the cracked and ancient stone Five-pointed star ignites and belches forth black smoke Demonic forces summoned forth Incantation, evil magick rise Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice upon the altar stone Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice unto the pentagram With human offal offering, we gaze into the great abyss We summon thee, oh antichrist This virgin's blood so red and pure will bind your will unto our own Bow before the horned god [Solo: Leeland, Jamison, Leeland, Jamison] Rise on wings as black as night Summoned by the sacrifice Chaos reigns and death is come Twisted horns eclipse the sun The late October sky streaked with blood and fire Yawning gateway to the underworld From the altar the young girl rises with cold black haunted eyes Chosen queen of a brimstone kingdom come The reborn empress of hell [Solo: Leeland] Incantation, evil magick rise Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice upon the altar stone Blood sacrifice, an ancient rite Blood sacrifice unto the pentagram

Through the jungle by the river Styx I've journeyed long and far this day Lurking shadows in the parapets Will never make me turn away Darkened city veiled in crimson mist Entombed in time without decay Never thought it would be like this It feels like I'm living inside a dream But my mind tells me I'm Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Now I know what it's like to be Inside the city of the dead All I think of is breaking free From all the spells chained to my head Sword and axe are my destiny I watch the stars turning blood red There is light yes I've got to believe For this feels like living inside a dream I know now that I am Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis I have seen your cities burning I have felt your daughters yearning For the peace you had before the tides of war I have witnessed funeral pyres Burning bright with man's desire I will fight the demon horde forever more The world is full of mysteries That men have never seen before Magik lives in all dynasties The light of love shines ever more In the crypts of Atlantean Kings I found what I was looking for Magik Trident of Volusia's Sea I know it's like living inside a dream But don't you ever get Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis Lost in Necropolis, lost in Necropolis

This woodland village is the only home I've ever known Through burning tears I watch it all consumed by flames From the south they came with iron and fire I take my father's blade and shield into my vengeful hands I won't lay down my sword until they've all been slain From the north I will come with cold, hateful judgment This tale of vengeance will be told As written in the blood of my foes This tale of vengeance will unfold Before the night is done they will fall The blood upon my hands avenges all that I have lost But still the battle-rage is coursing through my veins From the south they came with iron and fire I stand victorious above the final treacherous dog The world becomes an empty shell now as he dies From the north I will come with cold, hateful judgment This tale of vengeance will be told As written in the blood of my foes This tale of vengeance will unfold Before the night is done they will fall I've been wandering for so long Only starlight guides my way The steel at my side has become so heavy But still I carry on I've been wandering for so long Only starlight guides my way The steel at my side has become so heavy But still I carry on [Solo: Leeland] Leaves have fallen, winter comes The gods have left me on my own And when the flames have turned to ashes Still I will carry on, I will carry on This tale of vengeance will be told As written in the blood of my foes This tale of vengeance will unfold Before the night is done they will fall Vengeance is mine

[Solo: Leeland] For a long time I have roamed These barren, heartless streets alone Where the burning stars seemed far away But in the dark of night I've seen The moon arising in my dreams She is here and we'll set the world ablaze Fire and steel Smoke and burning wheels She's my goddess of the night Leather and spikes I wanna treat her right This warrior queen here at my side Two wheels are burning down the road and she's on fire And we are riding like the wind I'm free at last and she's a creature of desire Oh we will never kneel again [Solo: Leeland] We are the rulers of the street No submission, no retreat We are starfire in the blazing sky On a metal beast we ride As we tear on through the night We have tasted freedom and we won't die Fire and steel Smoke and burning wheels She's my goddess of the night Leather and spikes I wanna treat her right This warrior queen here at my side Two wheels are burning down the road and she's on fire And we are riding like the wind I'm free at last and she's a creature of desire Oh we will never kneel again [Solo: Leeland] Two wheels are burning down the road and she's on fire And we are riding like the wind I'm free at last and she's a creature of desire Oh we will never kneel again

Seven suns light the sky Our time has come, at last we ride In days when arcane magicks ripped apart the ancient sky And mighty tyrants ruled with sorcery and steel Where vast barbaric hordes rode out on cursed battlefields And spilled each others' blood with chaos in their hearts Seven suns shall rise in an endless desert sky Across these ancient paths we ride We feel a sorrow deep inside Reclaim the fire in our minds And raise our fists against the sky The hourglass proclaims the death of ages come to pass Forgotten sagas fade to grey mythology Now steel and honor and usurped by cold complacency And battles born within the vile womb of avarice Seven suns shall rise in an endless desert sky So from the depths of ancient ages, beneath the sun-scorched sand An evil with no name awaits to claim the land again And so we wait with bated breath for the rising of the seventh sun To break the chains of our entombment The dawn of battle comes Beyond these walls of sand and time, bells of destiny shall chime Out of the arcane mists of prophecy the guardians will rise From an age of sword and shield and distant war-torn battlefield We have returned to serve this dying realm with sorcery and steel [Solo: Leeland] Across these ancient paths we ride We feel a sorrow deep inside Reclaim the fire in our minds And raise our fists against the sky All that once was, all you believed was owed to you Has been shattered and destroyed and now at last you understand Your redemption has come at a cost and we won't weep for what you've lost So as our words fade into the star-filled sky You must repent, you must reclaim
