Bathory - Witch-Storm Lyrics
Silvern skull, sable shroud, ebon tower, onyx crown.Witchfire, black citadel, frost-shrouded steel, moon-veiled spell.The skyqueen of the dead rides forth, black storm-borne steeds,(their flanks anointed by) immortal blood,Hark to the striking of the winds, the moon burns black as slaughter reigns.Witch-Storm!Bright fires agleam through winter's night,Dark spells whispered on the winds,The trees enrob'd in veils of frost,Moonfire entwines the Eye of Khthon.From the moon-swathed depths of winter-mists,Enchantress, she-who-walks-the-night-alone,Sloe-eyed shape-shifting sucubus,Silken veils and slime-smeared flesh.Witch-storm!Storm-Witch, hearken this night,Hone this black blade with sorcery,Battle-spells annoint my flesh,Let blood and steel be my glory.Elder tongues encarved in sinistrous slime-flecked stone,The Obsidian Tower broods 'neath the moon,Winged fiends descend from storm-wrought skies,Black Ring, key to the Shadow Gate, aglow with eldritch spells.Forged in witchfire, envenomed steel,Ensorcelled blade, blood-ravening,Ebon demon's tooth, the bane of Kings,Red rain of slaughter, prow of blood.WITCH-STORM!THE RAVENING(Lyrics: Byron, Music: Jonny & Chris)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!
