The Oath Of Blood

[part i of the 'trilogy of blood']

[xu:]
"descending from the heavens, cloaked in armour shining bright
The grim foretold messiah, wielder of the power and might
The punisher, the oath-sworn king, the breaker of the spell
The one to crush the tyranny and send him back to hell !"
[the emperor:]
"i am the one, the son of the sun
Creator of light where the darkness prevails
Come true ones, let justice be done !
We'll banish the darkness for he's bound to fail !"
("the choir of the chosen enshrouds me in glory immortal !")
[the army of a'ryth-ra:]
"hail ! hail ! hail ! hail ! hail ! hail !"
([the emperor:] "the voice of the goddess flows through me !")
[xu:]
"from now on call thee emperor !
Scion of the gods !
Gather the chosen ones there...
(now swear) the oath of blood !
Lead them to glory forever, wielder of the sword !"
[the army of a'ryth-ra:]
"(we're) building a kingdom of metal
All sworn by the oath of blood !"
[the emperor:]
"fight for your lives ! be strong and survive !
The ending of terror, his time is at hand
The night will die and our light will shine...
The coming of judgement, the tyranny's end..."
"sate my steel with blood ! feed the slaughtergod !"
"from now on call me emperor !
(i am the) scion of the gods !
(i've) gathered the chosen ones here...
(we are bound - in life and death - by) the oath of blood !
I'll lead 'em to glory forever ! (i am the) wielder of the sword !"
"(we're) building a kingdom of metal
All sworn by the oath of blood !"
