lyrics

For so long
I've roamed these endless wastes
I, scion of ancient kings
I, protector of eldritch lore
Invoker of the outer dark
Swordbearer highlord.

An odyssey of an ancient quest
Led me to these forlorn lands
Blue sun looms over ruffled waves
In the shadow of the Crimson Gates

Forsaken by the brooding gods
I shall seek the knowledge lost
Thwarted by the threads of fate
I'll still return through the Crimson Gates

For so long
I've dreamt of this ancient plane
I've seen it in the visions of the slain
As the rightful ruler of the Ruby Throne
I'll vanquish all my foes and revel in their doom

Rex Draconis!
Sanguis Dracones!

As I stride broodingly
Atop my regal ship
Arcane winds I conjured
By demonic powers
Aided by allies unseen
Beings wrought of primal winds
I call upon the chaosborn
To strengthen my lithe frame

An odyssey of an ancient quest
Led me to these forlorn lands
Blue sun looms over ruffled waves
In the shadow of the Crimson Gates

Forsaken by the brooding gods
I shall seek the knowledge lost
Thwarted by the threads of fate
I returned across the Crimson Gates

Heads for the Dead prove once again that they are the best 'old-school' death metal band going. Their lyrics are drenched in horror and gore. Their music channels terror. They are the real deal. Hayduke X

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
