First Blood Lyrics


Out of nothing here I stand

Clothed in the savagery of man

Standard raised the herald sounds

Marching off our hallowed ground

Taught to fight, kill, and conquer

Trade our lives for another’s honor

At my side all fathers and sons

Trembling betrays their faces brave

Laid down our trade for the art of war

Wives and babes cry from afar

Cling to reason cleave to God

Father’s voice is almost gone

Azrael’s wings will cast a shroud

Reaping the harvest through wide roads

First blood is drawn at days height

Glistens red with the light of life

Screams from all sides beg to go home

Plead for the mother’s love to be shown

Those that still stand ignore the cries

Trying to mask the fear in their eyes

Pang in my soul, light leaves his eyes

Slaughter of innocence, childhood dies

Strike after strike the insanity grows

Claim our prize dying for a throne

God forgive the lives I’ve severed

Surely such acts are not punished forever?

Morals cloud in the fires of war

Help me survive, yet I hunt for more!

Every soul I butcher erodes my own

Lacerate flesh and trample bones

Carnage I wreak, some stifled will

Spirit now black with the thrill of the kill

How could I fall onto this path?

Intoxicated with the wine of wrath

Beyond all doubt, reason, morals

I’ve become Death, Destroyer of Worlds
