Pretender to the Throne (Opus II) Lyrics

Opus I: The Usurper's SpawnGodless descendant of my blood
Impudent son of Erihtho
You dare to provoke my power
So come and feel my ruthless wrathOn a night of a fiery moon
Your witchborn mother summoned me
Whispering my dreadful names
Raising the southern windsI rode to her on griffon's wings
Piercing the darkness of her dreams
She begged the dark to be my bride
To bear my son, the demigodSo I gave her the joys of hell
A night of dark and bleeding lust
My heathen sperm, my burning seed
To raise the mortals' demon-kingI gifted you the mortal world
To rule the lands and do as you please
And now you impious earth worm
You dare to claim your father's throne?I am the Dragon, supreme king
I am the dark that gave you birth
I am the blood and I am the life

Death riders my chariots of sinBut if a war is what you want
Then in my Name so it will be
When Cerberus will howl at Hades
I'll come my son your soul to take
