With Veins Afire - Waylander

A brooch upon his ample chest

Bedecked in simple splendour

Glistening fear upon his brow

His mouth as dry as bone

Sharpened sword his father bore

Strapped to his side so proud

Virgin blood enters the fray

Onward to fatal embrace

And with a sound like the heavens bursting asunder

Shield upon shield

Blade upon blade

Flash of spear

Lifeblood flowing

And in the midst of it all

Pungent stench of fear

With veins afire

I will kill

With veins afire

I will maim

With veins afire

I exalt in the letting of blood

With veins afire

I revel in the crimson spray

The heart knows how it feels to beat wings like a bee

Darkening mists which make it much clearer to see

Nothing can halt the dance while he is in motion

To overcome tastes to him sweeter than any potion

Glistening scarlet globules leaving tralls upon the air

Savage and unyielding, maim and overcome

Grisly sense of satisfaction, my dark side reigns
