The Sign of the Beast Lyrics

The sparrows take an ominous flight
A shadow covers the land in black
Expectance, a heavy veil has fallen
Defiance, something wicked is coming
See the horizon fill, they are marching
Warriors are crowding the plain
Their voices break the still, they are shouting
All with their hands in the air

Here we come!

The rearguard, beating the great war drums
Pounding hard, wielding their heavy clubs
Crushers, a mighty power load
Jawbreakers, enemy skulls explode
Now hear the thunderclap, hear the strings slap
Hear the mighty archery
Terror and death will flow as black arrows
Rain down on the enemy

It's the sign of the Beast

With the sign of the Beast high as a banner
We raise one fist, hard as a hammer
Like a plague from the East we'll spread all over
And the sign of the Beast shall rule forever

The axemen, vengeful blademasters
Their weapons, gleaming edge of razors
Ripping, in a flash of the blade
Thrashing, a rain of flying heads
Now come in the frontline, rage in their eyes
And bellowing their war cries
Bloodthirsty berserkers, banshee screamers
Come here to vanquish or die

It's the sign of the Beast

With the sign of the Beast high as a banner
We raise one fist, hard as a hammer
Like a plague from the East we'll spread all over
And the sign of the Beast shall rule forever
