The Revenant King
Visigoth Lyrics

Out across the foothills they rode
They rode their horses across the foothills

Banners as black as their souls
Their banners were black, representing their evil souls

As a winter sky loomed above
The sky above was pale and wintry

Pale as the wind-driven snow
It was as pale as the snow that the wind was blowing

I have seen this day in my dreams
I have dreamt about this day before

The hour of my doom drawing nigh
The time of my death is coming soon

Black blades of treachery draw forth my aging blood
I am stabbed with treacherous swords, causing my old blood to flow out

And I fall, dying on the cold stones of my throne
I fall and die on the cold stones of my throne

Retake the usurper's throne
Take back the throne that was taken by the usurper

The blades of our fallen burst forth with the revenant's breath
Our dead soldiers' swords come alive with the breath of the undead

Destined to fight, even in death
Destined to fight even after dying

These are the bones that they thought they had shattered
These are the bones that they thought they had broken

But we'll never rest
But we will never stop fighting

Immortal blood courses through my veins
I have immortal blood flowing through my veins

I won't be denied; your battle's lost in vain
You will not defeat me, your attempt at fighting is in vain

I have returned to reclaim my rightful throne
I have come back to take my rightful place on the throne

From realms beyond the waking world
From places that are beyond reality

We'll rend your flesh from bone
We will tear your flesh apart from your bones

There the young man sits on my throne
The young man is sitting on my throne

Surrounded by ill-gotten gains
Surrounded by things that he got through dishonest means

Ebon hair and eyes black like coal
He has black hair and eyes as dark as coal

Murder and thievery his way
He attained the throne through murder and stealing

I see the horror gripping his mind
I see the terror that he's feeling

As we descend on his ranks
As we come down on his army

A thousand men they thought they had killed ride out from the woods
A thousand men, who the enemy thought they had killed, came out of the woods and are now fighting

And our steel thirsts for betrayers' flesh and blood
Our swords are eager to drink the blood of those who betrayed us

We traveled realms beyond the crystal moon
We traveled through lands beyond where the crystal moon is

And shadowed keeps
And dark fortresses

Where mighty serpents stalked ensorcelled seas
Where enormous serpents roamed enchanted seas

And ice-crowned peaks
And mountains with peaks covered in ice

So here we are to bring your end my friend
We are here to end your life, my friend

And none shall week
Nobody will be able to stop us

Betrayal's debt paid in your foul blood
We are paying back the debt of betrayal with your foul blood

The price is steep
The price of betrayal is high

We are revenant
We are undead

We have returned
We have come back

So bow your heads
Lower your heads as a sign of submission

We are your doom
We are the ones who will bring about your downfall

The hoarfrost breaks as steel-shod hooves
The frost on the ground breaks as horses with steel shoes step on it

Make known their presence to the night
Their presence is announced to the night

And fires rise against the starwheel, casting smoke into the sky
Fires are started near machines used to check the position of stars, causing smoke to go up in the sky

My bloodline was and always will be rightful heirs to this old throne
My family has always been and will always be the rightful heirs to this ancient throne

Your life will slake the soil's thirst for sacrifice and blooded stone
Your death will satisfy the ground's need for sacrifice and shedding of blood
