about

Old school heavy metal jam about an apocalyptic warrior cult.

lyrics

Come and kneel upon the altar of the damned
Sacrifice now with the blood of the lamb
The time has come for you to take your master's hand
And bring the riders to lay waste across the land

Read the scripture, see the prophecy
Bring the children of the shepherd to their knees
Collect the herbs and then you burn the sacred trees
To separate the truly strong from the weak

Gonna leave this mortal koil
With the weeds down in the soil
My skin will fry, my blood will boil
Gonna leave this mortal koil

Ride to battle with the power of the herb
You'll live forever if you heed our master's word
The beating drums of war is all you've ever heard
So face your doom and then your soul will be transferred

Your heart shall quicken, you are overjoyed
Your mind will loosen as your body is destroyed
But you will triumph as the leaf has been deployed
You have transcended as you slip into the void

Gonna leave this mortal koil
With the weeds down in the soil (in the soil, baby!)
My skin will fry, my blood will boil
Gonna leave this mortal koil

These four Maine boys bring the hot n’ sweaty stomp of 70s- and 80s-style hard rock to the frosty tip of the northeast. ... more
