[Verse 1]

Cleanse steel in carnage, unleash the chthonic darkness

Scud, stochastic vortex, blitzing vicious bastards

Sheath, blades in carcass, disembowel tangled skein

Upon ripe flesh we harvest, human grain, mortal pain

[Bridge]

Reaper rides

Genocides' arc of scythes

[Verse 2]

Combat casts the warrior, warfare marks the age

Stone to bronze, to iron, steel is our rage!

Bloodsoaked grimoires spell "hell" a million ways

Vellum spills the venom, a poison chalice sprays

[Bridge]

Gods of war

Exhort the hordes as battle roar

Dragon dives

Belching hives of serpent flies

[Pre-Chorus]

Scribes skewer history

Truth dies in the telling

Scribes skewer history

Truth dies in the yelling of lies

[Chorus]

Afford us our sins, bloodlust our wings

In death's domain of winterbane

[Verse 3]

Death wept that grim day, gutting ghost from viscera

Flaying soul from the clay, cleaving mind from terror

Reavers rode roughshod, 'cross the skull-crushed plain

Legions mass the grave, spirits shriek insane!

[Bridge]

Fire drakes dive

Burn ranks alive, dead worlds collide

Ravens glide

Swoop and pluck the hero's eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

Scars carve the memory

Truth lies in the cutting

Scar carves the memory

Truth lies in the culling of lies

[Chorus]

Seraphim soar above the ichor

Sea of slain at winterbane

[Interlude]

Wilderness will not claim the beast

Nor civilized state deny its feast

Not gibberish of madman, hysteric chant of priest

Nor lovers' brutal sighs, lend the savage peace

[Outro]

Demon raised in flames must stride

Stricken trails in stark divide

The frozen waste of winterbane

To face the monster still inside

Deep within its burning eyes

Killer stirs, start to rise

Reavers ride the ice-crest tides

Thunderous hooves churn the skies!
