Count The Dead lyrics

Grimshard Lord of northern Reach

Heed the dread Hel can teach.

Despair in halls of burning keep

Taste the tears kinfolk weep

See the twilight realm you rule

Land aflame, flesh our fuel.

Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled.

Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left

To Count the Dead.

Greybeard swing your broken sword

In killing arcs' terminal stroke

Let battle-cry rip from throat

As lungs fill with acrid smoke

Swallow bile of livid fear

On which you choke so cavalier.

Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled.

Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left

To Count the Dead.

Cataracts cloud your streaming eyes

Glory fades in dying light.

Banners bright drained of colour

Grey in dusk of deadly night.

Old Lion maimed draw your knife

End your worthless life.

Kneel before the Raven Hordes

Of Ice, Fire and Strife.

Lord Warden where's your flock?

Sons lie slain at your feet.

Daughters shamed by reaver's cock

Your champions butchered meat.

Grimshard Lord of northern Reach

Heed the dread Hel can teach.

Despair in halls of burning keep

Taste the tears kinfolk weep

See the twilight realm you rule

Land aflame, flesh our fuel.

Upon the carcass of the world

Cenotaph for the scourged.

Inspire men at arms - the brave who have not fled

Lead ire on final charge - until no soul is left

To Count the Dead.
