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 death

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

[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 deaths

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 propagate 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]
