A
Sound starts ripping through your ears
     C                        B   G F#
The deafening sound of metal nears
A
Bodies waiting for his whips
     C               B   G    F#
The taste of leather on your lips

Chorus:
E A    G   A F#  G E  A  G    A  F# G  E
Hear the cry of war, louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall on to your knees for the phantom lord

Victims falling under chains
You hear them crying dying pains
The fist of terrors breaking through
Now there's nothing you can do

Chorus:
Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall on to your knees for the phantom lord

The leathered armies have prevailed
The phantom lord has never failed
Smoke is lifting from the ground
The rising volume metal sound

Chorus:
Hear the cry of war louder than before
With his sword in hand to control the land
Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night
Fall on to your knees for the phantom lord

Bm             G
Fall to your knees
D                       E
And bow to the phantom lord!
