Iced Earth - Attila lyrics

He's ruled them for twenty years And ravaged as their king Conquest burns in his eyes And ice shoots through his veins Their leader's new ambitions lie Further to the West The Empire that he seeks The Father to the Rest Attila wants to take his place Like the impetuous son To make the entire world bow To the kingdom of the huns Alliance has been made With many other clans Frank and Vandal forces Held within his hand And by Attila's hand it's said His brother met with d**h To make his rule his legacy He did his awful best Ethele and Etzell By many names he's known But "Scourge of God" is the one That rings the darkest tone [CHORUS] Hell awaits behind Gaul's gates The Roman's stand only to fall They will die by his sword The barbarian lord Attila hear's victory call [BRIDGE] [Huns] Path of Fire and Plunder Cities burn and crumble Atila's fate beckons He will come to conquer [Romans] Archers stand at ready Centurions all together Keep to your lines And the Mongol's sure to falter [Huns] We will surely break them We will overtake them Fight till our d**hs On the Christians devastation [Romans] They won't overthrow us God will stand before us Show us the path to the huns destruction Sing to the sky, the battle cry To propogate their fears As terror is the weapon drawn When battle has drawn near And so the conflict is at hand The gauntlet has been thrown Contempt for the Christian reign The poison seed now sewn And if by chance all is lost Cut down by Roman steel We'll suffer not as others have Broken mind nor broken will [REPEAT CHORUS]
