Intro Lyrics - Blood On Ice - Bathory

[instrumental] 

[The snow covered plains...] 

[Early dawn...] 

["As the village greets a new day, the old Crow cries atop the pine.] 

[Spiritually bounded with nature and all creatures, great and small, the] 

[hunting families sense danger as the cry of the old Crow continues. A] 

[rumble, at first loud enough to a human ear, grows into a deafening storm] 

[of hooves thundering across the frozen tundra. Then bursts into the] 

[village, four times five riders clad in in armour black. Swords drawn] 

[glimmering int the awakening sun's light. Cries echoes. Throats are slit.] 

[Beautiful bodies fall to the frozen ground and limbs of able men are stewn] 

[across the snowcovered plains. The blood colours the white snow red. Women] 

[and children are brought far north. Hidden under the foliage of a majestic] 

[tree, a ten year-old boy. When the shadows ahorse can no longer be heard,] 

[he crawls out from his hideout to seek his loved ones. Not a sound. Not a] 

[movement. No sign of life...] 

[And thus begins the saga of Blood On Ice..."]
