Salacious Gods - Fire-Storm lyrics

The north wind brings the feared ones From the sea they swarm causing mayhem ashore They have crushed a dozen landlords And their ruler still thirsts for more I've been entangled in so many a conflict I've raged in so many a war I'm aware of the blaze beyond the horizon I have never been frightened before... Today... Their vessels reached my shore From the sea I hear them roar Staring down from my banisters I fear the outcome of this ma**acre at hand My warriors never backed away from anything... We are sadly outnumbered But prepared to take a last stand The last calm moments before the storm A dark secret is revealed to me It's like I have known it for all my life But until now too blind to see Still puzzled by this strange event In my hand appears an ancient key Release whatever is trapped in your dungeon And at a price it will slay your enemy! Among the archways beneath my castle I find a door unseen before I am not surprised the key fits with ease And with a turn of my wrist The door is locker no more Dark clouds unite in a firestorm It's a demon's rage in infernal form I must protect my eyes while... Viking warrior numbed with fear Cry to their wargods in rain The hellish flames strike with utmost precision Depriving the fools of their swords Before they are slain Seven prosperous years have gone In the blink of an eye I never spoke a word of the price we were to pay But with seven deadly plagues Now feasting on our souls My people turn to me for an explanation Wallowing in guilt I realize my wrong For in a moment's fear, I damned my very kingdom to hell
