The Ravening Lyrics - A Black Moon Broods Over Lemuria - Bal-sagoth

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!
