    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Blood Trails

    by: Catamenia

    Warcry like a thunder hums in your ears
    Peace and silence of the past suddenly disappear
    End of life, end of an era, crushed to conqueror feet
    Burning sky is the sign when other nations bleed
    The haven of your life, turns into flaming hell
    Torturing and murdering, none left behind to tell
    With the dawn of pain, they arrive across the seas
    They are the disease, poisoning your future dreams
    Conceited, unknown power watch ancient city wails
    Isolated, surrounded by hatred, tainted with crucifying nails
    The havoc is hiding behind holy sins on the sails
    Noble glory covers the world by ornamental blood trails
    Hate of a stranger lay upon your world
    Convicted to vanish, they will kill you all
    Run and hide, but this time you can't win
    Everything different to them is a threat and a sin
    You opened the gate and they came to take it all
