The Caverns of Darkness

page 32

The Caverns of Darkness.

Shout forth, ye trumpets, and sound forth, ye thunders,
In praise to the spirits of Darkness and Hate.
Mark how the tempest in fury is raging.
The voice and the echo of Death and Fate,
Sound the challenge out abroad
To every man and nation,
And this, their new damnation!
We'll give the world to blood.
Then forth to conquest
Then forth to conquest!
We'll give the world to blood.

With sword and with thunder we come to proclaim thee,
Ruler of earth and of fire and wave,
Who art and shall be for ever and ever,
Till thou art the master and man the slave.
Sound the challenge out abroad,
Death and Hate shall victors be
To every man and nation,
And this, their new damnation!
A world of blood for evermore.
Then forth to conquest!
Then forth to conquest!
We'll give the world to blood.
