A Land in Darkness Lyrics

Once more into the fray
Marching under the cross this cursed day
Guided by the maiden dressed in white
Lead us from the dark into the light

Coward, where is your faith?
Traitor, kneel to your false god and pray
You have lost the right to wield the sword drawn from the lake
Your choice alone, your promises to break

Sound now the horn
Our final war

Darkness, this is your fate
Victory, but what a price we had to pay
You have left behind the vows you swore
Deceived and cowed by a pious, jealous lord

Bleeding, this is your fate
Fighting, but now your wounds are just too great
Forgotten are the sacrifices made to make you king
Your treachery, the lowest of all sins

(Solo: Farmer)

Their solemn hymns will mark this turning of an age
Baptised in sickness and in deceit
The truth is cast astray and a foreign god now praised
They shun our "primitive" beliefs
A land in darkness, we await the end of the days
Victim of the priests!

(Solo: McNeill)

Sound now the horn
Our final war

Sound now the horn
Into the mists our fallen king
Back to the isle where peace still reigns
Our final war
The magic of Avalon will fade
Now only the Church and cross remain
