Текст и слова песни Bal-sagoth – Naked Steel (the Warrior's Saga)
(Music: Jonny Maudling; Lyric: Byron)
Legends etched into the ancient stone dolmens on the Dark Moors...
THE ORACLE OF WAR: The crows will pick your bones clean...
Never sweet the kiss of cold steel.
THE EXULTATION OF BATTLE...
THE WARRIOR:
Blades aflame with witch-fire burning,
Bright swords blessed by nine king's blood,
The elf-witch weaves war-spells upon us,
Neath the wolf-moon's gaze we shall slake our steel!
THE WARRIOR: Battle Magic empowers my thews!
THE ORACLE OF WAR: The crows will pick your bones clean...
THE WARRIOR: Red-Tooth thirsts to smite and slaughter!
THE ORACLE OF WAR: Never sweet the kiss of cold steel...
THE SHAMAN'S DECREE:
Born beneath the thrice-cursed cromlech (destined for deeds of greatness),
Three stars aligned to assauge thine newborn cries,
Foretold, the hilt of Red-Tooth awaits thine hand
(kingdoms shall fall before thee!),
And in the Nine Scrolls thine death prophesized.
THE WARRIOR:
The clarion of battle beckons me... Red-Tooth crackles with searing
spectral energy. Aye, emperors and kings shall perish beneath my blade!
The head of the Eastern Chieftan adorns my spear... I've a throne to usurp!
INTO THE THICK OF THE FRAY!
THE SHAMAN'S DECREE:
This heart that pounds like a hammer,
This heart that pounds so strong,
This heart that pumps a great warrior's blood,
This heart will pound for half as long.
THE WARRIOR'S VOW:
By all the gods... I swear the ireful edge of dwarf-forged steel shall
meet all who dare stand against me! My destiny awaits...
I shall carve my path in carnage, and inscribe my saga upon the
scrolls of legendry in the spilled blood of slaughtered kings!
THE ORACLE OF WAR:
Carnage! And the crows shall feast upon the eyes of the slain!
The final dolmen of the Dark Moors is mysteriously missing,
believed removed thousands of years ago by troll war-bands
