Attila Lyrics by Iced Earth

Attila Lyrics

    He's ruled them for 20 years
    And ravaged as their king
    Conquest burns in his eyes
    And ice shoots through his veins
    Their leader's new ambition lies
    Farther to the west
    The empire that he seeks
    The farther 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 others 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 romans stand only to fall
    They will die by his sword
    The barbarian Lord
    Attila hears victory call

    Bridge
    (Huns)
    Path of fire and plunder
    Cities burn and crumble
    Attila's fate beckons
    He will come to conquer

    (Romans)
    Archers stand at ready
    Centurions all together
    Keep to your lines
    And the mongols sure to falter

    (Huns)
    We will surely break them
    We will overtake them
    Fight till our deaths
    Or 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 fear
    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
    This 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
