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!
