Retribution Cometh
he comes with no sign, no message he brings
clouds be shadowed in the vultures wings
no might he needs, no prayer he heeds
it’s time they pay for their corrupted deeds
with sword in hand and none in his wake
“Repent!” he roars, “it’s you i shall take
the vanity i crush of mere mortal men
vanquish your evil, never never again
no truce i ask, i ask no peace
it’s you who suffer, your skin i fleece
lay bare your guise and all your lies
and burn your souls under blood red skies
my home you took, my brothers you slew
your clan i seek through crimson hues
through day i butcher, through night you die
the gods will shudder at my infernal cry
litter the soil with your flesh i will
born for vengeance, alive to kill
to purge my land and scourge this hell
the time is upon us, sound the knell!”
and the heavens turn grey all life turns pale
the righteous end to a tyrant’s tale
hear the horses, those crushed at their feet
as they sowed, far worse shall they reap
blood turns black, hear the waning breath
the morbid chant of whispering death
Retribution cometh, Retribution cometh!
