The Sound Of Eight Hooves Lyrics - The Crusher - Amon Amarth

He's running through the woods so black 

A loyal servant of christ 

Dogs are barking down his back 

He's running for his life 

He came with words of love and peace 

These heathens had to be saved 

He thought that he could make them see 

Instead he was enslaved 

In captivity he spoke of god 

To all he met he preached 

But when his master's patience ran out 

He knew he had to flee 

Tears are running down his cheeks 

As he sobbign realizes 

That in this land his god is weak 

And today he's going to die 

He stumbles out onto an open field 

Where an old oak tree grows 

In the branches hang men of three 

Dressed in preacher robes 

His knees refuse to carry him on 

Terror shines in his eyes 

His faith in christ is almost gone 

His god's left him to die 

Below the dead he says his prayers 

To the god he thought was alive 

When he hears a calm voice say: 

"Shut him up and hang him high!" 

As his breath leaves his eyes open wide 

A bright light comes from above 

He greets this light with a smile 

And thinks: "There is a God" 

The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears 

Comes from the heavenly light 

Two wolves' howls fill his heart with fear 

And he sees two ravens fly 

Down from the sky a warlord rides 

Like fire his one eye glows 

And just before the preacher dies 

He knows his god is false
