When the moon will rise againUntil we read the Parthian skinBroken fears warring days are here again'Fore we all to dust descendHeaven knows when life will endGod to know in the mire, put out the fireKnow there is a cross to bearIn your primal quest of fearNo quarter now is given no lessAslumber was my main idealAsunder did my spirit stealSceptred race uttered words in disgraceSweet revenge will be oursVengeance of a shaken worldJust remember that patience is no sinAnd to find another wayLive to breathe another dayLord of light in the darkness, our guideIn a tempest never shakenEdge of doom is not mistakenCountenance is not a sinGallant king, we bow to himFierce as wolf with a leopard skinDark and bitter deep withinInvader punished with his lifeVanquished in the morningSea of blood in light divineUnholy reverence enjoyedIntoxicated with their hellMan immortal sickness dwellSavage beasts troops engageAssembled here to butcher bladesSmoke has darkened in the airSmell of death and deep despairWilderness a tyrant dreamSell your soul not give them powerSlay upon imperial crownWitness now the witching hourBound himself to oath and kingSuch loyalty a shameless thingYouth of agony still burnShedding parents bloodNever say a prayer to meFor this crime and treacheryDrinking from your cup of wisdom trueMany men will follow youNow an army is raisedAnd our gods, they be praisedDeath is but a gilted edgeShall no more than we will pledgeHear the cry we are ready to believeThe prodigal has returnedGive us our own revengeWith the power he learnedWe will burn the same againA betrayal of angels in a foreign landA revenge for the merciful destiny at handFor all those who have writtenIn the sand will be toldThat the same will happen searching for goldLike a fire in the skyI can feel strength returnHeading for afterlife, meet me there
