Píseň: The Blood Of Kingu

Interpret:
Therion
Album:
Sirius B
Collect the blood of Kingu from the great old sea 
And Arrogate the primeval waters 
Inside your veins the power of the demon flow 
Have you ever searched for your descent? 


Gaze into your soul, we are the children of the ancient ones 
On the thin facade we are the kindred of the benign gods 


Take up and read the tables of your destiny 
they hang around the neck of Kingu 
Prepare the war between gods deep inside your soul 
You are the one to fight in this war! 


[Pre-Chorus:] 
March for war in your soul. Hail! 
Demon Kingu rise, rise, rise from the void. Hail! 
Kingu rules the honred dragons, Ugallu, fishmen, 
Mushussu, umu, bulls, frogs, scorpions, dogs... Kingu rules the void! 


[Chorus:] 
Kingu is the blood of man drawn off from this early waren 
In your veins you find the strength from the demon's heritage 


Chaotic waters covered every part of earth 
The old gods split it like shellfish 
But in the shells the blood of chaos still remain 
Mother Habur suckle her children 


[repeat pre-chorus & chorus] 


[Bass:] 
Kingu, general of the host of chaos, fighting for Tiamat; Bearer of sky and earth 


[Soprano:] 
Kingu, the mighty master ruling eleven demons 
Kingu, your blood is running insinde the heart of mankind 


The ancient demon, they will return... 
The blood of Kingu... their open gate
