lyrics

Info:

I do not claim to know anything about battle of any kind, I can only imagine.
I took my inspiration from books I was reading set in 10th century Britain with the Danish Viking sea-raiders.
I was interested in the contrast between all-out skirmishing chaos and terrifying but disciplined and locked-in shield-wall advancing.

Lyrics:

Bash
Block
Swipe
Stab
Purge
Block
Run to the hills you c*nt

Bash

Stab
Purge
Block
Shields!

Bash

Stab
Purge
Block
Ridding you of your soul

Bash

Stab
Purge
Block
Kill!

Like a wolf or a shark the scent of blood sets the mark of death
The battlefield flows with a choir of pain with roars which rot the flesh
Every man knows the chill of the truth that his next breath could be his last
The fear is insane, it sharpens their aim and sends who they are to the dark

Gut animal
I am unveiled
Peel back yourself
Torture what's left

Dig deep
Find your mettle from the iron in their blood
Shield the man to your left
Thigh to neck or phalanx break

Take from them everything and give them nothing in return
Show them no mercy for you shall receive none and burn
Heightened senses and murdered emotions change
You into a mindless, heartless, soulless weapon of doom

They slaughter the beasts we ride
Monsters, we all are side by side

Gut animal
You're petrified
Peel back yourself
Evil alive

Dig deep
Find your mettle from the iron in their blood
Look to the skies
Fight in the piercing shade, tucktail, tucktail!

With a weak left arm
You will find
A twisted transformation
Hell spawn porcine porcupine

Let go
Sap the battle-joy from each man that you kill
Savage them in the wolf-light
Let your sword-song carry you through the dark fight

Their will, you shall brake
As your blood-thirst, you slake
