lyrics

Intro Refrain:
CALL TO
CALL TO ARMS!
Refrain x2:

Verse:
Bear the cross,
of black and white

Raise your swords
to those who fight

Go now,
and never look back

The Holy Land
is under attack!
Jerusalem
an ancient birthright

The judgement of God,
the hammer will smite

Clashing blades
of mighty steel

Will proudly ring
and the pagans will
kneel!

Chorus:
March east
to distant lands

The cross will reach
the desert sands

Honour and glory
have been foretold

Those who resist shall,
die by the sword!

Refrain

Verse 2:

The path is long
the soldiers grow weary

Their hearts are strong
and without fear he

Strikes the wall of
the Holy Land

With valour they fall
with courage they stand

The pilgrims go forth
to battle they ride

To prove their faith
and reclaim their pride

The victory lies
upon the fields

Of war-torn souls
and battered shields

…and the war
marches on!

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
