Hear the north wind cry the song of the scythe So long live death See the best drowned out by the mass So long live death The modern age a game of charades So long live death The ancient dead return to watch the cities burn So long live death The serpent smiles as he coils the world So long live death On the yew tree bodies swing in the breeze So long live death Beneath a pagan moon swords rise with runes So long live death
