Lyrics
A futile endeavour
Truth has departed
The flock is scattered
As the wolf rages
Plague is poured out
Engulfing the lambs
Acolytes of Satan
Have overturned the temples
Children die
For the sins of their fathers
Untended
The vine is blighted by sin
The priests of god are unchaste
Their deeds not matching their name
Peace and patience
Thoroughly plundered
Northward
Through Teutonic lands
Where none but the dead
Keep their silent vigil
As the plague marches on
Crossing the pastures green
Into the mountainous north
Ancient and hale
Crops rot where they grow
Cattle lie dead in the fields
The lands of men
Lie desolate in the stillness
And over it all
A silence so loud
No man can escape
The susurration of death
Like the murmur of a storm approaching
From ancient Byzantium
To the black gates of Antioch
Harken the wail of despair
A futile endeavour
The curse of existence
The end infernal
As carcasses burn
Truth has departed
The flock is scattered
As the wolf rages
Plague is poured out
Engulfing the lambs
Acolytes of Satan
Have overturned the temples
Children die
For the sins of their fathers
Untended
The vine is blighted by sin
The priests of god are unchaste
Their deeds not matching their name
Peace and patience
Thoroughly plundered
Northward
Through Teutonic lands
Where none but the dead
Keep their silent vigil
As the plague marches on
Crossing the pastures green
Into the mountainous north
Ancient and hale
Crops rot where they grow
Cattle lie dead in the fields
The lands of men
Lie desolate in the stillness
And over it all
A silence so loud
No man can escape
The susurration of death
Like the murmur of a storm approaching
From ancient Byzantium
To the black gates of Antioch
Harken the wail of despair
A futile endeavour
The curse of existence
The end infernal
As carcasses burn
