lyrics

I have seen them
Hidden beneath the ice
Plotting against our world
Betrayers by their side

From where no light can shine
Emerged a ruthless plan
And when the stars align
They would unleash their bane

Their entire army wait at the gates
Enthralled to end all human fate
Soulless and damned, animated with one purpose

Monsters of anger, of blood and might
Deploying wings to take their flight
Screaming like hell to announce their funest coming

Our trembling hearts, filled with terror
Prepare to fight our final hour
There is no chance to survive their brutality

And in a last look of confusion
Dreaded in pure desperation
We hold our hands knowing there will be only war

Helpless and dazed, stuck into place
Their madly charge breaks through our ranks
A wave of death pours down our land
Sweeping all hope, nothing will stand
No surge of pity amongst these beasts
Women and child slaughtered with ease
A sight of desolation
Blood everywhere

Our loved ones die, our vision blurs
Their screams of pain are barely heard
Through this insane rage

Their terrifying laugh reaveals sheer bloodlust

The thick smoke from our burning homes crush down my heart
I fall down to my knees and weep upon our loss
The blank eyes of the dead tell me to kill them all

No choice is left, I must survive
A buried instinct drives me to fight
Rushing into their ranks
I will not die in vain

An eye for an eye
A head for a head
No difference now, just total death
And if their swords get me
I will chew down their face

As the fire burns what is left
And all their blood runs down my face
I look into their eyes, ready to face the fear

For every slash into my flesh
I scream and fight back with my nails
I refuse to give in, these beasts must be punished

And in a last look of confusion
Inspired with pure desperation
To the dead I promise I will destroy them all
