Treason of Kings Lyrics


Our sacred rulers, those born of the blood

Themselves descendants of the great one-eyed god

Our worship they guide, into battle they lead

To our kings loyal and true their call we heed

When to western shores came the alien god

Many kings saw use for this vile exotic fraud

Embracing the cross they turned from our path

All refusing to comply would face their wrath

(chorus)

The kings betrayed their ancient gods

For wealth and power forsook their blood

Deceit for honour, hypocrisy for pride

The lies embraced and the gods denied

The kings betrayed their ancient gods

To serve foul lies from far away

The soul they tore from their loyal kin

Casting chains of guilt and sin

Not all kings forsook the way of their blood

Some stood proud in defiance of the one god

Many a pagan king died for the ways of old

Refusing to bow to the foreign faith's hold

(chorus)
