Army Of The Dead Lyrics - Singles - Domine

[I) The Vision And The Promise] 

In the city of immortals 

a scream broke the silence 

it was a seer and he saw in 

his dreams 

his beloved city of eternal life 

collapsing around him 

and its people trodden by 

a mighty army 

The mad seer retold his vision 

to the king 

so they gathered the mightiest 

warriors across the land 

they promised them entrance 

in their eternal city 

in exchange that they turned back 

the vision of the... 

[chorus] 

Army of the dead [4 times] 

[II) Promise Denied] 

As the wizard summons ancient 

powers commanding thunders 

and lightning 

the swords of the warriors on the 

battleground are shining in 

the sun 

soon the battle rages on 

weapons are drawn in anger 

the warcries echo throughout 

the field 

the invaders meet their doom 

But the king and the seer betrayed 

the warriors 

and the armguard was hidden 

beyond the gates 

a cloud of arrows obscured the 

sun as they entered the city 

the promise of immortality has 

been denied 

[III) Prophecy Fullfilled] 

Sun shines the morning brings 

new life 

a new day of hope and happiness 

yesterday is far away and years 

go by,fear goes away 

life goes on inside the city 

and peace will last for eternity 

But rising from the earth came the 

true vision 

the mad seer had seen so long ago 

prophecy fullfilled: 

The army of the dead 

[IV) Army Of The Dead] 

Holy gift a ritual of seer 

destruction 

hunting their prey,cruel in their 

desire for vengeance 

the dead warriors rise from 

their graves 

take what was promised then 

was denied: 

the gift of immortality 

[V) Doomed City] 

and the sentence must be passed 

curse are your vicious lies 

in ashes the Eternal City 

must fall 

so let the truth be told 

the Ivory towers are 

crumbling down 

the Golden doors crushed to 

the ground 

once a great City of Immortal 

is now the city of the... 

[chorus] 

Army of the dead [4 times]
