lyrics

Exiled from Eden, we roam this lawless land
A Blood empire built upon a throne
of flesh and sand
Sent the tall ships out to grace on the shores
of distant lands
With razor teeth and sharpened claws
We greet our fellow man
Don't come up to us with offerings
Don't try to bring us peace
We'll mutilate your cattle
And colonize your space
Don't try to put up barricades
Your people we will ravage
Taste the steel of the blade
Bow to the warhammer

Submit or die
We live the lie

This fight had no meaning
This war will have no end
For we were not of woman born
We are immortal men
Sacrifice the living, desecrate the dead
We do the dark lord's bidding, we are his instrument
Servants of the coven prepare the sacrifice
Masters of the dark arts and takers of life
Fear that drives us, fear that guides us
We never will rebel
Better be a slave on Earth than be a king in Hell

This fight will never end
This is not an enemy we can defeat
Extinction is inevitable as old conflicts never cease
Only by one we will all fade into oblivion
Remnants of a once great society of liars and fools
Flesh merchants power mongers
Cast out of paradise and drowned upon the shoreline
of this ancient cosmic creek
