Up on the hill, sits on the rocks
Salvage the city, release me from harm
Cold eyes of death, she won't forgive
She will devour the kingdom of Thebes
Monarchs and Queens, failed to resolve
Only a wise intellectual soul
Stare in her eyes, do not show fear
Her ironic smile once the riddle you hear

Blood of the sphinx
Blood of the sphinx
Oh the Kings of war
Kings of war, Kings of war

Blood of the sphinx
Blood of the sphinx
Oh the Kings of war
Kings of war, Kings of war

Climbing the mountain he made up his mind
Hiding his fear to save his own kind
And there she stands, like a lion en garde
Even the sirens would run from her far

Silence! She stands as she sees him approach
The Chthonian creature takes out her claws
Creature behold, the brave warrior
Give me the riddle, I offer my soul

Blood of the sphinx
Blood of the sphinx
Oh the Kings of war
Kings of war, Kings of war

Blood of the sphinx
Blood of the sphinx
Oh the Kings of war
Kings of war, Kings of war

Desecration, her shadow disappears
Destination, where evil lies above
He's the warrior of ordinary people
He's the saviour with an ordinary soul
Golden wings and eyes staring at Thebes
Time to flee, where the heroes heed their call
He solved the riddle, she screamed in agony
The eerie hybrid, she fell unto her death

War
(Under the sun, the chosen one, they are the)
Kings of war
(Under the sun, the chosen one, they are the)
Kings of war
(Under the sun, the chosen one, they are the)
Kings of war
(Under the sun, the chosen one, they are the)
Kings of war
(Under the sun, the chosen one, they are the)
Kings of war
