Pretender To The Throne Lyrics - Singles - Necromantia

Opus I: The Usurper's Spawn 

Godless descendant of my blood 

Impudent son of Erihtho 

You dare to provoke my power 

So come and feel my ruthless wrath 

On a night of a fiery moon 

Your witchborn mother summoned me 

Whispering my dreadful names 

Raising the southern winds 

I rode to her on griffon's wings 

Piercing the darkness of her dreams 

She begged the dark to be my bride 

To bear my son, the demigod 

So I gave her the joys of hell 

A night of dark and bleeding lust 

My heathen sperm, my burning seed 

To raise the mortals' demon-king 

I gifted you the mortal world 

To rule the lands and do as you please 

And now you impious earth worm 

You dare to claim your father's throne? 

I am the Dragon, supreme king 

I am the dark that gave you birth 

I am the blood and I am the life 

Death riders my chariots of sin 

But if a war is what you want 

Then in my Name so it will be 

When Cerberus will howl at Hades 

I'll come my son your soul to take
