Riddle Of Steel Lyrics - Collection - Venom

Hooded in the mists of time in distant lands of dust 

Here they live and forge the steel that carves out human lust 

Thulsa doom his flesh and bone control of all that's fake 

Lifting head and staring eyes that guide the sinful snakes 

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel 

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel 

Armies of followers who are guided by his throne 

Blindly walk to Thulsa's steps that foot the black kings home 

On and on the warrior that stalks the beast that killed 

The families of his friends and foe that fall unto his will 

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel 

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel 

Snakes that come together over palaces of pain 

Gates of flesh that open up to let in acid rain 

All the smells of blasphemy are deep within this hall 

Writhing here in ecstasy awaiting Thulsa's call 

Stretching out and forged in steel a blade drwn from his arm 

Searching for the sacred neck to cure the world of harm 

Slashing through the snakelike scales deep into the core 

Splitting into bone and blood and settling the score 

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel 

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel 

Steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel
