The sparrows take an ominous flight A shadow covers the land in black Expectance, a heavy veil has fallen Defiance, something wicked is coming See the horizon fill, they are marching Warriors are crowding the plain Their voices break the still, they are shouting All with their hands in the air Here we come! The rearguard, beating the great war drums Pounding hard, wielding their heavy clubs Crushers, a mighty power load Jawbreakers, enemy skulls explode Now hear the thunderclap, hear the strings slap Hear the mighty archery Terror and d**h will flow as black arrows Rain down on the enemy It's the sign of the Beast With the sign of the Beast high as a banner
We raise one fist, hard as a hammer Like a plague from the East we'll spread all over And the sign of the Beast shall rule forever The axemen, vengeful blademasters Their weapons, gleaming edge of razors Ripping, in a flash of the blade Thrashing, a rain of flying heads Now come in the frontline, rage in their eyes And bellowing their war cries Bloodthirsty berserkers, banshee screamers Come here to vanquish or die It's the sign of the Beast With the sign of the Beast high as a banner We raise one fist, hard as a hammer Like a plague from the East we'll spread all over And the sign of the Beast shall rule forever
