Barbarians at the Gate Lyrics

They come from the east like locust they feast,
they scour the land and take all they can, they seek to destroy
all in their way, those who remain will must be enslaved.

Damning to hell every land they invade, ruling by point of the blade
refuse to surrender and torture awaits, choose to die or obey

Chorus:
Heed The Call, Barbarians at The Gate, To the Walls,
Barbarians at The Gate

They move through the night appear at first light, scale the walls,
the city falls, siege after siege they lay kingdoms waste, usurping thrones
of king put to flames

Crush the rebellion of those who escape, punish their kin who remain,
only the swords of the just and the right can drive the invaders away.

Heed The Call, Barbarians at The Gate, To the Walls,
Barbarians at The Gate Heed The Call, Barbarians at The Gate,
To the Walls, Barbarians at The Gate

Damning to hell every land they invade, ruling by point of the blade
refuse to surrender and torture awaits, choose to die or obey

Heed The Call, Barbarians at The Gate, To the Walls,
Barbarians at The Gate Heed The Call, Barbarians at The Gate,
To the Walls, Barbarians at The Gate
