Count the Dead Lyrics by Abbath

Abbath

2015

[Intro]
Count the dead

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left
Count the dead

[Verse 2]
Graybeard, swing your broken sword
Killing arcs' terminal stroke
Let battle-cry rip from throat
Lungs fill with acrid smoke
Swallow bile of livid fear
Which you choke so cavalier

[Chorus]
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left
Count the dead

[Bridge]
Cataracts cloud your streaming eyes
Glory fades in dying light
Banners bright drained of color
Gray 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Count the dead
