Martial Barrage - To Topple the Dragon Throne lyrics

Solar eclipse foretold the hell A celestial kingdom thought invincible Abased to a patchwork of foreign prepotence A senescent nation for the taking With the swords and spears of their forebears Talismans to conjure the Guardian of Heaven And Black Gods of Pestilence Rituals surrounded, fists of Righteous Harmony Priests led the roaring pack, bedecked in flaxen sashes Holy men and proselytes bled, Churches put to the torch An alien irritant festering in the body at large Railroads uprooted, the unthinkable became reality Tatar City was under siege Falling back behind Legation walls Means of communication destroyed Headless bodies packed the gutters Their hearts gifts for the partisan command Trussed cardinalate hacked asunder Cathedral wreckage flickered Eleven governments became the enemies of one The Hour of the Dog had come Bayonet charge drove back mobs from the trenches Tunnels bored beneath edacious devout The same desperate cry in several dialects Coalition emerged from all the corners of Europe Jingals continued their poignant enfilading Up went the flags of all global powers Polarized into one mighty mailed fist Ravin skinned alive, skulls mounted on spears Bolstering reciprocity's gruesome process Heads rolled through hematic streets Women ravaged, Looting vehement Holy men and proselytes bled, Temples put to the torch An alien irritant festering in the body at large Polarized into one mighty mailed fist To topple the Dragon Throne
