Graveland Immortal Pride 1998 Sons of Fire and Steel ====================== Bloody red glow came into sight to brighten Dance darkness of night up Gods gave rise to a new war! This was is not just a war Today brothers kill each other! Treason has reared itself a throne Enemy poisoned our people's souls By deceit and damnation... Bloody glows brighten the night up Echoes brought cry of dying men We were looking and waiting Ready to fight Ready to inflict deadly blows! Strange god brought treason Poisinong hearts of many brave warriors! Every day was bringing pain and disease Dark clouds covered the sky Wind brought smell of blood Dark clouds covered moon up Our hearts froze We heard voices of death Waiting for our day We prepared sharp arrows and swords Today Gods give us a sign : We can take revenge now Feeling cold touch of our swords Enemy will learn what fear is Let rivers of blood be our work Strangers brought false faith They turn against our native Gods They will be damned forever And their faith will burn with them in hell! It is time to leave forest Daybreak is coming It is time to start a battle Under a cover of mourning fog I heard a voice talking to me : Faithfulness is your honour Songs of fire and steel Never forget these words Immortal Pride ============== Packs of hungry wolves are waiting for their blind victims at the edge of dense wood... Red from hatred wild eyes burn with fierce fire... Hunger for blood... Hunger for hearts... Hunger for mangled throats... Devour their entrails with pain... Soon they will satisfy their hunger... Victims are coming Cross held in hand will lose certainty... When pitiless death reach throats of terrified slaves of Christ... Nothing will save them... Soon their dead bodies will mark end of their march... March of fools and clowns, Blind men full of conceit... Three nights ago one could see fire blows on the horizon... Emblems and trophies of my friends were burning... Smell of blood and smoke brought answer... We knew that this day would come and we would start a battle against Christ's servants... Witches knew what to do... They went to the deepest parts of the woods to summon wild allies We sharpened our swords... And fed fire with mead We were waiting for those that had our brothers' blood on their hands Blind men came in rags... Only just few miserable human mere pittance... Something scared them... They were not full of conceit anymore... Fear blunt their greedy looks... Their god left them... Our wolves had a huge feast... Witches did their job... Our enemy fled in a panic straight in our swords... It made me happy... It always make me happy when wolves kill my enemies... We did not wait for a long time... Our leader did not know what pity was... We started a battle when we heard horns... My eyes delighted with massacre... My hand inflicted deadly blows... Cry of dying men made me feel as wild anymal... I imbrued with blood mud... Last of Christ's slaves hit with spear fell down... Before he died we tore cross of his neck... There was no alive christian among us... Our leader ordered us to find a body of their lord and cut his head off and impale him... To satisfy gods of woods and spirits of our ancestors... We showed his dead body to people to frighten our foes and give pleasure to our woman and children. This man that dared to baptize and plunder primeval lands of my ancestors was punished And now his body lies in Gniezno cathedral And his name is damned among my folk forever Sacrifice for Honour ==================== Sit down brave warrior!
