The Charge

Listen on

Cursed by the stars, the vision of an ox
Flesh turned to iron, running like a clock
Fury untamed, thunder cracks wide
Shaped like a beast, with a man locked inside

Steam breath rolling, building up pace
Blood starts boiling, run the death race
Furious pace, a hideous bray
A mission is given; To hunt down his pray

Crushed beneath my hooves, know my name
I am hate, i am wrath, i am doom, i am pain

Black hooves charge
Ground starts shaking, bones break apart,
Blood dripping horns raised to the sky
The howl of the beast says the end is nigh.

Thrashing forever and nothing shall pass
Bodies start burning, turning to ash
A righteous fury, a gods sacred wrath
Punish the wicked for sins of the past

Crushed beneath my hooves, know my name
I am hate, i am wrath, i am doom, i am pain

As Cries arise
Into the night
Pressing down
Brutality
Mankind stomped into the ground

The charge will never end
A bull that cant be bent
Charge the god has said
Charge until they're dead

At the crack of dawn, a city undone
Preparing the charge, to find the next one
Something appears, revealed by the sun
The body of a child the one he called son.

Hate turns to grief, anger to pain
But the charge wont pause, nor will the shame
Begging to stop, pleading to the skies
The bull pays no heed to the mans frantic cries

The price for what you’ve done
The bull you have become
The curse is what you owe
To end the ones you know

End, the, ones, you, know

As you did to my flesh
You shall do to your own,
Your punishment is set in stone

Theres no way out
Theres no way out
Theres no way out
Theres no way out
