about

This song is about the story of a young man whose village was burned down by the followers of the new god. The result of this was the loss of his wife and ultimately his own. However, with the anger of his loss and the desire to inflicted revenge on the followers, his spirit refused to leave his body making him a walking dead. With the desire to free not only his own soul but the soul of his wife so they can move on, he sets out on a bloody revenge.

lyrics

They came from the red mountain forest
With swords and shields, torches and flames
Burning all that stands in their path
Looting, killing, Destroying

With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand I tried to fight

The came from the red mountain forest
With swords and shields, torches and flames
Looting, killing all around
They took everything that we owned

With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand I tried to fight

With fire and death raging all around
Chaos and blood is a deafening sound
With my sword I charged right in
Straight into the vein of his neck

With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand I tried to fight

With a sword pieced into my back
I fall down, blood in my mouth
Her lifeless body on the ground
Am I going to die here alone?

With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand I tried to fight

With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand I tried to fight
With sword in hand they took her life
With sword in hand they took my life

I wake to a burning rage
My beloved beside me
My body decaying
A sword in my hand, I march

A silent tear oh she cries
Under the cold moonlit sky
Samigina please watch her
Tell her I won’t be long

I march on
With my sword in my hand
A lonely road
I must march on

A silent tear oh she cries
Under the cold moonlit night
Samigina please watch her
Tell her I won’t be long

A lonely road I do walk
With sword in hand, I march on
My body decaying
Under the weight of sadness

As I arrive at the end of my path
With sword in hand, I charge right in
One heavy blow I cracked his skull
Blood spilled, heads roll

As the end approaches near
One last foe cowered in fear
With one last strike I end his fear
My time draws near

Right before me she does stand
My body heavy
I lay down this pain to sleep
I her warm embrace
I die
