lyrics

Galloping hard across rocky slopes
The enemy camp lies ahead
We look death in the eyes
Fearless warriors ride

The scouts return with the count
Thousands of men to die
We ride hard for the attack
Under the night black

The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the Khan's reign

Torches set fire to the land
As their camp breaks
The smell of death fills the sky
Calvary arrows fly!

The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the Khan's reign

Where are you? My warrior, my protector
Gone with our bravest of men
Will I ever see you again?

Though I may never return, I will die by my...

Cavalry
Sing across the steppes!
We Ride
Towards our deaths

Their blood paints the land
with tales of our battle
All of this land shall obey the Khan
those who don't shall face the horde!

Cavalry
Sing across the steppes!
We Ride
Towards our deaths!

Reinforcements! Fight to your very last breath, for you will find no mercy here today!

They close in around us
Spears at our throats
We lived our lives with honour
Today we'll die the same

Their clan rides circles
and yet we stand proud
they outnumber us
but still we hold our ground

We came across these rocky slopes
The enemy camp lay in ruin
We looked death in the eyes
The warriors spirit will never die!

The last ride of the Merkits
Shall not be in vain
The enemy lies within our midst
Unworthy of the Khan's reign

And as our enemy made the approach
we knew today would be our last
we faced the onslaught not with fear, but with pride
We had lived our lives with honour and today we'd die the same.

The Funeral Pyre

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
