Death Be Thy Shepherd - Reign of Fury

Can you hear the death knell

Of his design

I drink of the fallen’s impertinent wine

I wash with ichor of innocent lives

Surround my body with marble with swine

Fuelled by this demon that lives deep inside

I’ve been burning in pain all this time

I can’t hold it back any more

No more

Carnal atrocities fed by thy will

Licentious desires sanguine at the thrill

Forever denouncing the plague from her womb

Revile at the words of the lamb in the tomb

Fuelled by this demon that lives deep inside

I’ve been burning in pain all this time

I can’t hold it back any more

No more

Death by the shepherd and hell be thy name

Reaping the cattle

Forever, collecting blood split in my name

Witness the horror

People are dying

People are crying out

I am the countess, the scythe and mortician

I have the power of utter perdition

You eat the flesh, I eat the whore

My life’s a harvest I always want more

Fuelled by this demon that lives deep inside

I’ve been burning in pain all this time

I can’t hold it back any more

No more

Death by the shepherd and hell be thy name

Reaping the cattle

Forever, collecting blood split in my name

Witness the horror

People are dying

People are crying out

The burning depth

Bewitcher of the weak

The chosen one

Debase of sympathy

The libertine

The serpent of the free

Sanguinity

Complexion built on death

I try to hold on to what’s me

But it’s hard to believe it’s there any more

Death by the shepherd and hell be thy name

Reaping the cattle

Forever, collecting blood split in my name

Witness the horror

People are dying

People are crying out

People are dying

People are crying out
