Down The Slopes Of Death

Amon Amarth

Down the slopes of death he rides

The eight hooves pound like drums

Darkness reigns the crumbling sky

Invasion has begun



Fields of flames greets his eye

He smells the fear and pain

Of dying men in agony

It can drive a man insane



All enemies flee his spear

No bow nor axe do harm

Allfather rides out on fields of fear

When Heimdall sounds the alarm



But on the field waits his fate

Foretold in ancient times

A beast with sharp yellow teeth

And hateful burning eyes



Today he'll draw his final breath

The wisest God of all

His son will avenge his death

Iormundr's brother will fall



He knows now what is to come

No use to try and run

What is to be, let it be done

What is to be, let it be done



Today he'll draw his final breath

The wisest God of all

His son will avenge his death

Iormundr's brother will fall



Down the slopes of death he rides

The eight hooves pound like drums

Darkness reigns the crumbling sky

Invasion has begun



Down the slopes of death he rides

The eight hooves pound like drums

Darkness reigns the crumbling sky

No more is the sun
