Battle Hymns (feat. Tiago Costa)

from Reborn in Darkness by Skeptik

/

lyrics

I watch the fire grow in spires to the grow in spires to the glowing skies
Billowing in brilliant benefaction to the heathen form
I watch the webbed wings of dragons touch the heavens
Suffocating their eclipse upon the light behind the demon's horns
I held my breath amid the presence of the serpentine
As towering, the cloud of their enshroudment thickens over me
I saw the talons on the mountain tops of snow and ice
And rode upon the claws that carry fable into destiny

Raise your fists to sky
For battle hymns we cry

Can you hear all the shrieking creatures
All the rhythms and the riffs in cacophony
Lullabies for the ancient abominations
Listen now as the battle hymns ring out

Like symphones of hell

Stare into the cosmic plains
While perched upon your astral throne
Sever all the shackles of
This feeble world from metal realms

I hear the growling of the thundering inferno
A percussive elemental force of power in its primal form
The dragons dance across the starless, spacial firmament
Syncopating movements, pirouetting through the firestorm
Within a moment open portals do erupt
And mythic creatures coalesce into the valleys of insanity
They come together, slamming, crashing and becoming
To an epic fucking mosh pit, spiraling calamity

Raise your fists to sky
For battle hymns we cry

Stand and witness a barbaric ancient ritual
Practice of aggression on a devil's night with glasses raised
Watch the bolts of lightning strike and feel the
Radiating energy that fountains through the atmosphere as music plays
Take a step into the fog that covers everything and
Join the giants, troglodytes and ogres and the living dead
Let your inhibitions go and then succumb
Into the influence of heavy metal power and bang your head

Can you hear all the shrieking creatures
All the rhythms and the riffs in cacophony
Lullabies for the ancient abominations
Listen now as the battle hymns ring out
Like symphones of hell
