Orc March Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we repel the enchanted dead
Defend this realm, it's far greater than a nation's will
Are you ready to stand and kill?
We alone must hold the line
Stand, fight with sword and malice
This will be the power over negative
This will be a legacy in which they will sing
This will be the end of everything

[Chorus]
Slice, crush, grind all
End, cease, break bones
Rend the horrid walking dеad
Rend the horrid walking dead
Oraclеs foretold this
The lamb's blood was curdled
A crow's feather dipped
In the ink of pain

[Verse 2]
The firstborn was offered to the gods of war
Then painted over bodies of Babylon whores
The prick of your finger, the poison shall linger
Then offer your good eye to the woes of Cain
I don't wanna be here
All of this violence makes me grow colder
I was only slipping away
With no room left to pray, blood magic death of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Death of me
Blood magic death of me
Death of me

[Chorus]
Slice, crush, grind all
End, cease, break bones
Rend the horrid walking dead
Rend the horrid walking dead
Oracles foretold this
The lamb's blood was curdled
A crow's feather dipped
In the ink of pain

[Bridge]
The firstborn was offered to the gods of war
Then painted over bodies of Babylon whores
The prick of your finger, the poison shall linger
Then offer your good eye to the woes of Cain

[Breakdown]
Woes of Cain
Woes of Cain
Woes of Cain
[Outro]
Reborn
I am reborn
Lathed in the blood of my enemies slain
Willful submission to the woes of Cain
Conqueror of kings, of my legacy they will sing
As I carve my way through history
Infinite legacy
Blood magic death of me

What did Chelsea Grin say about "Orc March"?
Genius Answer

Stephen Rutishauser:

This one’s definitely more of a middle-earth type thing. It’s from the perspective of a soldier or commander fighting against this onslaught of orcs. Again, we’re all pretty nerdy, so we love that type of stuff. But it discusses the sacrifices being made in fighting off this evil force, and the character in the song begins to feel they’re sacrificing their humanity. They’re starting to feel nothing when surrounded by all of this violence. It’s just about giving everything you have to fight off certain destruction for you, your family and your people.
