Iced Earth - Attila

Attila

Hes ruled them for twenty years
And ravaged as their king
Conquest burns in his eyes
And ice shoots through his veins
Their leaders new ambition lies
Father to the West
The Empire that he seeks
The Father to the Rest
Attila wants to take his place
Like the impetuous son
To make the entire world bow
To the kingdom of the huns
Alliance has been made
With many other clans
Frank and Vandal forces
Held within his hand
And by Atilas hand its said
His brother met with death
To make his rule his legacy
He did his awful best
Ethele and Etzell
By many names hes known
But "Scourge of God" is the one
That rings the darkest tone
CHORUS
Hell awaits behind Gauls gates
The Romans stand only to fall
They wi will die by his sword
The barbarian lord
Attila hears victory call
BRIDGE
(Huns)
Path of Fire and Plunder
Cities burn and crumble
Atilas fate beckons
He wi will come to conquer
(Romans)
Archers stand at ready
Centurions all together
Keep to your lines
And the Mongols sure to falter
(Huns)
We wi will surely break them
We wi will overtake them
Fight ti will our deaths
On the Christians devastation
(Romans)
They wont overthrow us
God wi will stand before us
Show us the path to the huns destruction
Sing to the sky, the battle cry
To propogate their fears
As terror is the weapon drawn
When battle has drawn near
And so the conflict is at hand
The gauntlet has been thrown
Contempt for the Christian reign
The poison seed now sewn
And if by chance all is lost
Cut down by Roman steel
Well suffer not as others have
Broken mind nor broken will
REPEAT CHORUS
