Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sound is ripping through your ears
The deafening sound of metal nears
Your body's waiting for his whips
The taste of leather on your lips
[Verse 2]
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
[Verse 3]
Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying, dying pains
Fist of terror's breaking through
Now there's nothin' you can do
[Verse 4]
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
[Verse 5]
The leather armies have prevailed
The Phantom Lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume, metal sound
[Verse 6]
Hear the cry of war
Louder than before
With his sword in hand
To control the land
Crushing metal strikes
On this frightening night
Fall onto your knees
For the Phantom Lord
[Verse 7]
Fall to your knees
And bow to the Phantom Lord
