Rats In The Cradle

Mygrain


Wild mountain harbors a violent breed
Eager for blood and hard to defeat
Ferocious warriors raised on barren grounds
Raid enemy lands for centuries

Dagger in hand they rather fight till death
Than suffer dishonor through surrender
Steeped so deep in a culture of war
Opression cannot, root out defiance
Proclaimed restoration of imperial rule
(And) insurrection spreads like wildfire
The southern thrust of the northern conqueror
Is met with determination grim

Armoured columns moving further forward
The capital stronghold to retake
Ambushed in a hurrican of machine gun fire
A hail of mortars and grenades

Disgraceful defeat and burned columns
Tarnished power and might
The colossal armies pouring in by the thousands
To hammer down those who defy
Wings of death stalk the skies
And fire rains from furious beaks

Ravishing rain of metallic hail,
As the relentless power is released
Mountain wolves under a crescent moon, mountain wolves under a crescent moon

Massive shelling of a city under siege
Reduced to smoldering ruins
Hungry dogs feed on the corpses in the street
As black smoke fills the city skies
Death and destruction, ignite the insurrection
Resurrection of (old) rivalries
Rogue combatants operate from deep cover
Armed with dagger and rpg's
Mountain wolves, mountain wolves

Heretic warriors in a frenzied rage, face each day with deadly dawn
Warlike clans of mountain wolves, swear the oath of blood for blood
Mountain wolves, mountain wolves
