As Predator To Prey Lyrics - Inexorable - Angel Corpse

There once was a blue-gray wolf 

Whom destiny ordained warrior king of the world 

Born to the saddle- blacksmith- tyrant to be 

In the great valley of Gurvan Nuur 

Storming with mane of flame and blood red 

A forging of empire, the horder enthroned 

Grim century of cruelty, of scourge and war 

A man of his time- only more... 

Horsemen merciless from the open steppe 

Whirlwinds of destruction 

A warlord's pursuit of unbridled joy 

Of revenge so sweet and subjugation 

And for those chafed at the yoke 

Blazing arrows, human shields, burning bones 

Innocents slaughtered and crushed 

Bloodthirsty orgies of extermination 

His was the roar of the king of beasts 

Of typhoons- and fallen kingdoms and kind 

Of ravening- as predator to prey 

And of fiercest lightnings divine 

He was the punishment (meted out) by th gods 

The sanguinary one who scorned defeat 

Torn bodies of women, weeping and wailing 

Flames devouring the vanquished 

Samarkand, Bukhara, Nishapur, Merv 

A hundred thousand heads rolling in the dust 

Oceans of sacrilege raged and rushed 

Eternal sadism's only law 

Rape and conquest 

Cities to the sword 

Atrocity massacre 

Temujin 

"As a bow lusting for its arrow 

And an arrow lusting for its star 

With an eagle's talons grasping new life 

As a roaring wind that blows my soul bright 

For it is blessedness to impress one's hands 

Upon millennia as on wax 

To etch ideas into men as on steel and stone" 

His was the roar of the king of beasts 

Of typhoons- and fallen kingdoms and kind 

Of ravening- as predator to prey 

And of fiercest lightnings divine 

There once was a blue-gray wolf 

Whom destiny ordained warrior king of the world 

Born to the saddle- blacksmith- tyrant to be 

In the great valley of Gurvan Nuur 

Storming with mane of flame and blood red 

A forging of empire, the horder enthroned 

Grim century of cruelty, of scourge and war 

A man of his time- only more... 

Rape and conquest 

Cities to the sword 

Atrocity massacre 

Temujin
