about

Written as a "new track" for the debut album, "Ares Guide My Blade" was the first Scythian song created in one session, circa 2006. It is based on the historical Scythians and their fall to the Sarmatians (Suromatae).

lyrics

Curse them! Suromatae,
Pitiless slaughterers
Routed we stand
At the edge of oblivion

Ares - Bringer of death
Warlord, God of our ancient enemy
Send your fiery hosts to visit
Death upon our foe

Ares... Guide my blade to terrible victory!
Ares... Send my arrows to pierce their hearts!

Fearless, we face our end
With cold indifference
Mounted, two bodies one
We kill in harmony

Flay them!
Cast their bodies to wingéd predators, earthly scavengers
Take their heads and mount them
In the splendour of your hall

Ares... Guide my blade to terrible victory!
Ares... Send my arrows to pierce their hearts!

Leave regrets behind me,
Travel with the wind,
My enemies surround me...
With final words I cry:
To those who stand against me
I’ll return to ash and dust!
Come lead your bastard herd to die
In mercy do I trust!

Lift our bows towards the Gods
We care not if we die!
Hades fills with weaker men
Our killing blows did send...
Cohorts here are gathered
In gold and shimmering scale
Our enemies before us
Their slanted faces cold and pale

Earth! Swallow them before us
Sky! Make our serpents fly
War! Grant their army malediction
Falcons! Take us skyward as we fall

Ares... Guide my blade to terrible victory
Ares... Grant them misery, hell for eternity
Ares... Send my arrows to pierce their hearts

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Greek Epic / Pagan / Black Metal. These guys kick serious butt & there are some fantastic melodies here as well as some great riffs. All with that distinctive triumphant & exclusively Greek edge. There is a clear Rotting Christ influence but these guys are much more subtle in their onslaught! I would be happy to wage war with giants to the sound of this & I am just a weakling nobody... :) Highly recommended!!! bmurator
