Pretender To The Throne (opus Ii: Battle At The Netherworld) Lyrics - Scarlet Evil Witching Black - Necromantia

Beyond the mountains of madness 

Crossing the river Acheron 

Lies the crimson battlefield 

Where Father and son will cross their blades 

On a flaming bat-shaped chariot 

The Infernal Emperor appears 

Matching his daring offspring 

Waiting for Cerberus to howl 

The guardian hound now screams 

And swords are raised with hatred 

Both forged in pain and blackness 

Destined to spread the veil of Death 

The battle doesn't seem to end 

Such is their ferocious rage 

Like hungry beasts upon their prey 

No more blood ties can hide their hate 

Suddenly the black-steel blade 

Held by the pretender's hand 

Pierces the Undead's wicked head 

As dragon wings shading the sun 

A wave of living darkness 

Effuses from the Emperor's heart 

Embraces the usurper 

Absorbing his soul and blood 

A triumphant voice 

Now echoes in the skies 

Now my son we're bound 

Reborn into the Black 

Masters of the Cosmos 

Now my son we're one
