Out Of Hell

image

~Out of Hell
swarmed a Ghostly Force~
~A Fiery Swell
of the Mighty Blackhorse~
~On each their Backs 
Brave Troopers Rode~
~Eyes of Black
a Force be Told~
~In each their Hand
they wield the Sword~
~And on Command
the Fire Soared~
~Defeat us Not
that was their Cry~
~The Devil’s Lot
your Souls shall Lie~
~Your Hell on Earth
has come to Be~
~The Blackhorse Hurls
your Destiny~
~With each the Kill
imbued them Strength~
~The Killing Field
was long of Length~
~Their Hooves were Steel
the ground was Red~
~A Blood’s Ordeal
the Enemy’s Dead~
~The Odds Against
One Hundred to One~
~By Battle’s End
the Deed was Done~
~Out of Hell
came a Ghostly Force~
~They served us Well
the Mighty Blackhorse~
~Don’t tread on Us
they’ll hunt you Down~
~Take your Blood
and Churn the Ground~
~Defeat them Not
for you will Die~
~The Devil’s Lot
your Souls shall Lie~
