Sworn to the Dark Songtext
von Watain

Block not my path
You futile walls of flesh and blood
For I have seen your structure clear
And I know where to stab
Right in the heart
There shall I place my dagger
Naught shall veil my sight
But the thickness of the mysteries

So block not my path
Your spells can′t fetter me
Beneath the laws of man
I bend not
For it is holy
The sword I bury in thee
It is the Lord himself
Who commands me


Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
To the death and far beyond

The all-defying pendulum of radiant conviction
So determined in its pace
Pounding now through flesh and bone
Like a hammer through a child

Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
Sworn to the dark
To the death and far beyond

Bound by an oath sealed beyond time
Sworn to the Temple of the Damned
Where infant entrails still hang high
Upon the twisted cross


Through raging fire
Through death and hail
Clinging to the dragon's tail
And as the world behind me burns
I ride its wings on paths of no eeturn
