A Curse upon the King Lyrics


From far away the enemy came

Distant lands of nothing but sand

Lies they brought, treacherous and vile

Their one god plague upon our land

You embraced their repulsive lies

And forced them upon your kin

Your ancestors, your gods you betrayed

For grotesque lies of guilt and sin

You embrace the power of the new faith

But you are blind to where you lead

Our ways and our gods will be gone

Until once again their call we shall heed

(chorus)

A curse I place upon you king

A divine curse upon your white soul

One day we will spit on your memory

With our gods we shall again be whole

You turned your back on all that is holy

You have forsaken your kinfolk and blood

You forbid us worship of our true deities

You force us to bow to your alien god

You torture those loyal to their gods

Best hatchet-man of the Christ you may be

You burn our temples, destroy our shrines

Who you really are one day all will see

In your zealous fever you do not see

Our beliefs are stronger than your lies

Faith cannot be dictated by even a king

You may be strong but you are not wise

(chorus)

Your ship is fast and your sword is stout

But power does not make a wrong cause right

A millennium of tears you bring upon us

Yet one day shall we crush the one god’s might

I cannot grasp why you serve an alien god

But even more difficult to comprehend

Is why you persecute those loyal to their own

Facing your wrath true to our gods we stand

Now I lay dying, helpless at your feet

By your merciless torment my body frayed

In the name of the gods I curse you king

In the name of all you viciously betrayed

(chorus)
