The Ravening - Bal-Sagoth

Black Legions ravening for blood

Dark Lords hearken to my call

Warriors rise forth from the earth

Battle-spells empower me

The Throne of Kings, the summoning

Marble halls sunk 'neath the waves

Storm-wolves a prowl (beneath) the ebon moon

Immortal hordes, pledge me thine steel!

The clarion call of battle sounds

Iron gleams in baleful flame

Slaughter shines from misted eyes

Storm-forged blade drink deep

Stench of carnage fires my blood

My bride of steel sings in my hand

Corpse-mounds piled to touch the sky

Black fury enshroud me!

Bleed for the gods of war!

Flesh to sate the worms!

By this sword I rule!

Dreadful fall of slaughter

Raw scent of fresh-spilled blood

Crimson rain falls from the sky

Ravens ride the storm

Black cloud of arrows, red storm of swords

Dark wave of carnage… slaughterfall!

By blood and steel I rule!
