MIKE LEPOND'S SILENT ASSASSINS LYRICS

1. Apocalypse Rider

Soaring as fast as the wind
Leaving their prey raped and skinned

Sipping wine from heads of skull goblets
Descending from spirits unclean
Savages like blood thirsty wolves
Saluting proud their destiny

Raise high your great sword of Mars
Cities are left burned and charred

You're the crow who kills off the eagle
Born and bred to bleed all the world
He who brings the ruin of ages
Let your death flag unfurl to all

You apocalypse rider
Waiting your finest hour
Into the fire
You live as you live till you die
Get on your horses and ride

Holocaust
Spare no lives
And we will decide tonight

Arrows they blacken the sky
Conquered must pray, yield, or die

Attacking hard, a medieval blitzkrieg
Hell unleashed in the Roman Sun
Scourge of God, the son of defiance
Horseman, lord, barbarian

You're the apocalypse rider
Waiting your finest hour
Into the fire
You live as you live till you die
Get on your horses and ride

2. Red Death

A plague like no other
An omen so real
Blood as its avatar
Death blow as a seal

A great prince undaunted
Tempting his fate
Defying affliction behind the iron gates

Cloaked in black velvet
With deep scarlet panes
A chamber of evil
Malevolence ordained

A pendulum chimes
A clock on the wall
An omen's hymn to the midnight masquerade ball

All night dying
Colors of horror
Royal or common, we are
In the throes of the Red Death

The tolling of midnight
His majesty's guest
Silent contagion to lay them all to rest

Seizing his due
He wanders the halls
Feeling his might
One touch a reveler falls

Shrouded in crimson
His best graveyard linen
A phantasm's shroud to a nobleman's dread

A thief in the night
A devilish pose
Sent a prince and king to their final repose

All night dying
Colors of horror
Royal or common, we are
In the throes of the red death

3. The Quest

On the Pentecost day he would enter the hall
Youth to enchant one and all

To raise high a blade from the great floating stone
Siege perilous now his own

From heaven a bright light
A vessel in samite
A feasting for all eyes
We are chosen ones

Sangreal of lore
Sacred cup of yore
And all who would grieve as knights rode away
For they may die this day

He of the lake with his honor and grace
Yearned to be the first to embrace

But the chalice refused to unite with his skin
Tainted by lusting and sin

The youth who is pure proved the heart shall endure
As he lay down his sword
May he sip from his lord

Sangreal of lore
Sacred cup of yore
And all would grieve as knights rode away
For they may die this day

Longing for rebirth
To be free from this Earth
Aloft by the Angels
The true chosen one

Sangreal of lore
Sacred cup of yore
And all would grieve as knights rode away
For they may die this day

And all would grieve as knights rode away
For they may die this day

4. The Outsider

I dwell amongst the crypts of death
Sunlight forsakes my castle
Can't measure time nor how I look
See the world through molded books
To walk among the living
To scale the tower and glimpse the sky
A final chance at life or let me die

Scaling rock
Ascending stone
I see the door to human sound
Entrance to earth
I now emerge from under the solid ground

Wretched am I
Call me the stranger
Bearing this lot to serve the gloom
Call me the one
I am the outsider
Is this a blessing of fated doom

Braving through the black of night
The fruits of yearning bewitch me
A window burns light from its sill
Revelers aloud with good will
My entrance saw fear, despair
Eyes escaping some nightmare
I tremble at the thought of what lurks near

A doorway arch
A similar room
The ghoulish decay awaits
A voiceless beast
Bone chilling stare
Will death be the final fate

[Chorus]

Fending off what I saw
Outstretched hands meet outstretched claws
Now I know this rotting brute
I must now accept the truth
I am the stranger to gods and to man
Fated to never be seen again
Abomination to the social class
When my outstretched hands touched polished glass

5. Masada

With a small brave army
The last one to stand
Their cries could sail the dead sea
To Jerusalem

Atop the great mountain
They all kneel and pray
God won't you deliver us
From our judgement day

A fortress alone
Mud, brick and stone
Would they die
In the night by suicide

And they'd all die free
Than live in chains
Their bodies, they may fall
But still their glory remains
And they'd all die free
Than live in Roman chains
Their bodies now may fall forever free
Masada

As the day turned night time
They draw ever near
Oppressors prime for war
Seemed their fate was clear

Never bound to serve again
They all take the vow
Zealots of the blessed sands
Our time is now

A fortress alone
Mud, brick and stone
Would they die
In the night by suicide

6. Silent Assassins

Hiding inside the great palace
Inside the thick walls of stone
We bring the vengeance and malice
To vanquish the queen and her throne

Oh, hear our cry
She must die
Swords up high

Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Death to the harlot of Troy

Demoness of the Aegean
Soaking the blood from her hands
One thousand ships in the harbor
To behead her on Trojan sand

Oh, god of war
Smite the whore
Hear us roar

Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Death to the harlot of Troy

Inside this wood horse we all gather now
Let no men rest 'til she's found
Poseidon shall bless us, his trident will strike
Straight to the heart as they sleep this night

Burning the city to ashes
Apollo cannot save them now
Helen, you'll suffer by stoning and lashed
Bringing your death we are bound

Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Hey! We are! Silent assassins
Hey! We are! Silent assassins

7. Ragnarok

And out of the darkness cometh
The snow and the frost
A season to tremble all the earth
A winter's scorn

Cities are torn asunder
As they light up the sky
In the unholy thunder
A goddess dies

Set the scourge of the Northern land
Ragnarok
Twilight of the gods at hand
Ragnarok
See the dead lying by the shore
Ragnarok
The sands of time exist no more
Ragnarok

The wolf is breaking from his bands
The serpent awakes
Loki joins with the wretched ones
To kill and forsake

Over the rainbow bridge they ride
For the frozen seas
To battle the gods of Valhalla
Blood and destiny

Set the scourge of the Northern land
Ragnarok
Twilight of the gods at hand
Ragnarok
See the dead lying by the shore
Ragnarok
The sands of time exist no more
Ragnarok

8. The Progeny

I've seen beyond the darkness
A path where shadows dwell
Where the faceless brave the river Styx
The kindred sound the knell

Undead, the progeny
Walk the jasmine fields in gloom
To know their words and demon songs
Is oblivion and doom

When the moon runs red at night
And the sun blackens the sky
The day of the damned will dawn the land
With the sound of the raven's cry

We are their holy cup
To our lords
We are their sheep
They feed upon our carrion
Spoils of the blood they reap

Atop the basalt throne
He can watch the maiden's weep
To quench a thirst of thousand years
Dark father now bites deep

9. Oath Of Honor

At the feast of the new, a great nobility
The gallant burning in the flames of revelry
Then a clattering of hooves, and knight in hue of green
Bidding challenge to the honored king and queen

On and on
Camelot
Spirit world shall guide me
Sing this song and carry on
The magic you've all come to see

We are lions of youth
We are tigers of truth
And we all hear the call of the Grail
And the new day will dawn
When all stand as one
And the pipers will sing of our tales

The bravest of the brave striking hard his mighty blade
Rising power did behead the man of jade
Yet the giant lives to ride upon his emerald steed
Waiting judgement when the nobleman must bleed

On and on
Camelot
Spirit world shall guide me
Sing this song and carry on
The magic you've all come to see

We are lions of youth
We are tigers of truth
And we all hear the call of the Grail
And the new day will dawn
When all stand as one
And the pipers will sing of our tales

Glory heart, purity
Chivalry, longing to be
Believe the words we hold the key
Can't you see?

Valiant blood course through my mail
And dauntless i sail to the final dance
Crimson skies, weapons they rise
My life is now spared, the falcon flies

For those who die, our sword flies high
For those who fall, our blood lies with you all
For those who sing of love let mercy bring
We live and die as one
We share this oath of honor

For those who die, our swords flies high
For those who fall, our blood lies with you all
For those who sing of love let mercy bring
We live and die as one
We share this oath of honor
