Necromantia - Pretender To The Throne lyrics

Opus I: The Usurper's Spawn

Godless descendant of my blood

Impudent son of Erihtho

You dare to provoke my power

So come and feel my ruthless wrath

On a night of a fiery moon

Your witchborn mother summoned me

Whispering my dreadful names

Raising the southern winds

I rode to her on griffon's wings

Piercing the darkness of her dreams

She begged the dark to be my bride

To bear my son, the demigod

So I gave her the joys of hell

A night of dark and bleeding lust

My heathen sperm, my burning seed

To raise the mortals' demon-king

I gifted you the mortal world

To rule the lands and do as you please

And now you impious earth worm

You dare to claim your father's throne?

I am the Dragon, supreme king

I am the dark that gave you birth

I am the blood and I am the life

Death riders my chariots of sin

But if a war is what you want

Then in my Name so it will be

When Cerberus will howl at Hades

I'll come my son your soul to take
