Iced Earth Attila

lyrics:
He's ruled them for 20 years
And ravaged as their king
Conquest burns in his eyes
And ice shoots through his veins
Their leader's new ambition lies
Farther to the west
The empire that he seeks
The farther to the rest
Attila wants to take his place
Like the impetuous son
To make the entire world bow
To the kingdom of the Huns

Alliance has been made
With many others clans
Frank and Vandal forces
Held within his hand
And by Attila's hand it's said
His brother met with death
To make his rule his legacy
He did his awful best
Ethele and Etzell
By many names he's known
But "scourge of god" is the one
That rings the darkest tone



chorus


Hell awaits behind gaul's gates
The Romans stand only to fall
They will die by his sword
The barbarian Lord
Attila hear's victory call

(Huns)
Path of fire and plunder
Cities burn and crumble
Attila's fate beckons
He will come to conquer

(Romans)
Archers stand at ready
Centurions all together
Keep to your lines
And the Mongol's sure to falter

(Huns)
We will surely break them
We will overtake them
Fight till our deaths
Or the christians devastation


(Romans)
They won't overthrow us
God Will stand before us
Show us the path to the Hun's destruction

Sing to the sky, the battle cry
To propagate their fears
As terror is the weapon drawn
When battle has drawn near
And so the conflict is at hand
The gauntlet has been thrown
Contempt for the christian reign
This poison seed now sewn
And if by chance all is lost
Cut down by Roman steel
We'll suffer not as others have
Broken mind nor broken will

Repeat chorus

OwAngel/cont/ SECOND: HÚNs have shared culture with their cousins - the german tribes, the celtis clans and other relatives. / The shirt with buttons, the coach drawn by HORSES, the alphabet, the myths and legends, etc./ Their Empire was immense, well-organized and JUST, moreover: they assured self-government to all subordinate people / as for nation!/ And fought against Romans. THIRD: Romans were NOT so noble, fair and superior (even in military terms) to anyone as been taught.

@RandyVanHalen1

@Brk40 here a little difference too,i know because i m living in Turkey and i m not over nationalist

[spectres85]

John Shaffer gave me more modivation to learn about history with this album! Don't tell me metal isn't educational or positive. Hell, I read Exodus and Revelations all the way through whenever i was 13 because of Metallica!

@gaybana1 Huns and Turks aren't exactly the same, but they are very related. Turkish nationalism oversimplifies and exagurates a lot of this stuff.

I know, because I'm Turkish too :)

[kozmon0t]
