[Intro] The eagle wakes... The iron hungers... The spine will break... [Verse 1] Bind the wrists, face the dirt, feel the cold of the stone You’re a king on a hill, now you’re skin and the bone No mercy in the north, only ice in the vein I’m the architect of agony, the master of pain Got the blade in the hand, got the grudge in the chest Put your spirit to the trial, put your honor to the test Silence in the hall, hear the sharpening of steel Now it’s time to show the world how the suffering is real! [Pre-Chorus] Kneel for the ritual... Look to the sky... The wings are unfolding... Prepare to fly! [Chorus] BLOOD EAGLE! Sever the spine, let the lungs breathe the air! BLOOD EAGLE! Red wings of vengeance, a crown of despair! Carve through the muscle! Tear through the cage! The sky turns to crimson! The gods feel the rage! [Verse 2] Snap! That’s the sound of the ribs coming loose You’re hanging by a thread, no need for the noose Pull ‘em out wide, let the crimson expand Like a bird made of fire over frozen land No scream left in ya, just the hiss of the breath A beautiful sculpture, a monument to death Trap-beat thumping like a heart that’s about to quit Welcome to the pit, yeah, this is it! [Breakdown] OPEN. THE. CAGE. SPREAD. THE. WINGS. Breathe... for the last... time... HAIL THE RAVEN! [Chorus] BLOOD EAGLE! Sever the spine, let the lungs breathe the air! BLOOD EAGLE! Red wings of vengeance, a crown of despair! Carve through the muscle! Tear through the cage! The sky turns to crimson! The gods feel the rage! [Outro] The eagle has flown. Nothing remains but the red on the snow.
