Gods Of War Arise

Darkness flees the rising sun
The village lies ahead
It will wake to a new day soon
Soon they'll all be dead.

We came in cover of moonless night
Fifty men at arms
Now at first morning light
The church bell sounds the alarm.

Sacrifice to Gods of old
Bleed them of their lives
Fresh blood on our swords
Gods of war arise
Sacrifice to Gods of old
Bleed them of their lives
Fresh blood on our swords
Gods of war arise.

Hear the tortured screams
Shattering the air
They awake from soothing dreams
Into their worst nightmare.

Fire sweeps their homes
They feel the dragon's breath
Consuming and destructive flames
Agonising death.

Some seek shelter in the church
A refuge for those with faith
But we know how to smoke them out
A pyre will be raised.

But those who choose to stand and fight
Will die with dignity
For the unfortunate few who survive
Waits a life in slavery.

The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold.

We gave them agony
As they fell and die
The Gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice.
