lyrics

I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze

My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
Since your god has failed

Blurred sight
Clouded mind
Let the violence unwind

Bloodshed
No regret
Your fate has been set

Their bones pave my way
As I slowly drain this world from life
I am unchained
Families fall to their knees
They urge me:
Please spare our souls,
You shall be our king
But they know I’ll lay waste to thee
Pathetic lives end in misery

Unbreakable
Incorruptible
Unyielding warrior

Limitless
Potential
Bestowed from the divine

No one can be freed from my wrath
Nothing can escape from my grasp
This is my eternal warpath
You will be united in death

I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze

My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
since your god has failed

Is this me?
Am I free?
How have I become so beastly?

I’ve done all these things?
They’re pulling my strings!
The instrument of deception

Noone can be freed from my wrath
Nothing can escape from my grasp
This is my eternal warpath
You will be united in death

I am the scourge
Tearing rotten flesh from the earth
Forged in the blaze
Carved by gods in darkness, dust and haze

My armies rage on
Ignominy has this brought upon
Let violence prevail
since your god has failed

My wife, my child, I see them
As I see the blood on my hands
Laying there before me
My own hands have killed them both

The gods that guide my blade
Have used me exploited my life
They will suffer retribution
And vengeance will be mine

about

Heretics Paderborn, Germany

After founding the band in 2009, the first gig was played in 2010. It took ten years, until the first album Via Appia was released - but the band has grown from a bunch of pupils buying instruments to a Death Metal steamroller.
