Gods Of War Arise Lyrics - Amon Amarth

Darkness flees the rising sun 

The village lies ahead 

It will wake to a new day soon 

Soon they'll all be dead 

We came in cover of moonless night 

Fifty men at arms 

Now at first morning light 

The church bell sounds the alarm 

Sacrifice to Gods of old 

Bleed them of their lives 

Fresh blood on our swords 

Gods of war arise 

Sacrifice to Gods of old 

Bleed them of their lives 

Fresh blood on our swords 

Gods of war arise 

Hear the tortured screams 

Shattering the air 

They awake from soothing dreams 

Into their worst nightmare 

Fire sweeps their homes 

They feel the dragon's breath 

Consuming and destructive flames 

Agonizing death 

Some seek shelter in the church 

A refuge for those with faith 

But we know how to smoke them out 

A pyre will be raised 

But those who choose to stand and fight 

Will die with dignity 

For the unfortunate few who survived 

Waits a life in slavery 

The day draws to a end 

The night comes dark and cold 

We return to our ships 

With silver, slaves and gold 

We gave them agony 

As they fell and died 

The Gods have granted victory 

For our sacrifice 

The day draws to a end 

The night comes dark and cold 

We return to our ships 

With silver, slaves and gold 

We gave them agony 

As they fell and died 

The Gods have granted victory 

For our sacrifice
