Jaldaboath - Hark The Herald lyrics



Tracks



01. Sally Forth

Instrumental

02. Bring Me The Head Of Metatron

Riding hell's barren wastes on my steed,
this host of monsters are my creed,
and in battle we shall bleed.

Bring me the head of Metatron!
We tally for the cup of Christ - the Holy Grail - in my battle armour
and chain mail - when the wind blows we shall set sail

Bring me the head of Metatron!

Where does he dwell?
No-one can tell,
but its north of the citadel of Londinium.
Grand master of lies,
dispatching his spies south to the Castle of Rhydian...

North we shall ride, steel at my side,
an order from the Knights of Malta.
Too long he has sat on his throne of mockery,
when we meet, there shall be slaughter!

Bring me the the head of Metatron - Now!

03. Seek The Grail

Percival!
Hark the call!
Venture forth!
Seek the grail!
Travel wide!
Seek the land of the king who was wounded!

Sir Percival - seek the bleeding lance and mend the broken sword
Look for the isle of Avalon and seek the wounded king and heal the wasted land

It takes more than strength, you need pure heart to recover what was lost

Persevere, learnest thee; what is the secret of the grail?
Land and King - Heal as one!

Sharpen why wits and bleed thy heart for the question shall be asked
Thy quest doth not bring happiness, but the land shall surely die unless
The holy grail is found

It takes more than strength, you need pure heart to recover what was lost

04. Jacques De Molay

"...I made the contrary declaration only to suspend the excessive pains of torture, and to mollify those who made me endure them..."

Grand Master - 33rd degree, did take to the grave his masonry
He left his mark on the Turin shroud, but was burnt alive for the Parisian crowd

Denied the Christ, trampled the cross, rode to Jerusalem on his horse.
At the stake, he renounced his lies - the smoke left hanging in the skies

Jacques De Molay!

Thou art avenged Jacques De Molay! For this Friday the 13th today.
The royal blood they did chasten, for the execution of this mason

Jacques De Molay!

"...The life offered me on such infamous terms, I abandon without regret..."

They buried the mighty heretics, these Templars with their magic tricks.
But fire's freedom laughed the last, and echoes loudly from the past.

05. Hark The Herald

Kill! Burn!
Waste the wenches!
Hark the herald!
The King wants blood!

Hark the herald, the war drums beating.
Hark the call - the call to arms!
Sally forth and no retreating,
saddle thy horse, raise the alarm!

The king hath decreed us knights do battle for the honor of his fair queen
Now we ride to meet the brutes on their own ground; mace, steel and lance has vengeance found!

Kill! Burn!
Waste the wenches!
Hark the herald!
The King wants blood!

Deep entrenched, Lord Asquith is hiding in his fort, portcullis is down.
Lay siege will we, and yield will he, to declare the innocence of our queen (the whore!)

Kill! Burn!
Waste the wenches!
Hark the herald!
The King wants blood!

Women crying - Witches saying
Banners flying - Knights dying!

06. Da Vinci's Code

More than simple superstition, the blood-line survived the crucifixion
The hospitaler knights of St John, they hid the secret holy spawn

Da Vinci left a hidden trail to holy blood and holy grail
The Christ indeed had kith and kin
Born from the womb of Magdalene

Initiate of illumination, Da Vinci left the clues
Of Christ's secret blood-relation, the royalty of the Jews

Da Vinci left a hidden trail to holy blood and holy grail
The Christ indeed had kith and kin
Born from the womb of Magdalene

The truth threatens the Roman cult, so the pontiffs hid the youth
Only adepts of all things occult come close to find the truth...
