lyrics
I don’t need hope because I have the will, power and hatred
Alone, I rise to claim my destiny freed of all bondage
Once loved, I’ve been seduced, betrayed and ostracised
Once weak, now you’ll feel my vengeance
No quarter’s coming when I burn down your sanctum
Laid at my feet slain, make the gods fear my name. The Impenitent Son!
Shedder of blood, doer of deeds unholy and unnamed
But a piece of me dies, bound to my blood crime.
I am Tyrannus!
So I shatter my heels, these debts I owe can’t ever be repaid
Wear my sins, o’ treacherous son who seeks to devour his creator
I hold inside me a place you’ll soon know
The place where all light dies
My empire is built upon sand and paid for in blood and shame
Gods know wrath better than guilt
There’s no turning back when the bridges are burning
Alone, I rise to claim my destiny freed of all bondage
Once loved, I’ve been seduced, betrayed and ostracised
Once weak, now you’ll feel my vengeance
No quarter’s coming when I burn down your sanctum
Laid at my feet slain, make the gods fear my name. The Impenitent Son!
Shedder of blood, doer of deeds unholy and unnamed
But a piece of me dies, bound to my blood crime.
I am Tyrannus!
So I shatter my heels, these debts I owe can’t ever be repaid
Wear my sins, o’ treacherous son who seeks to devour his creator
I hold inside me a place you’ll soon know
The place where all light dies
My empire is built upon sand and paid for in blood and shame
Gods know wrath better than guilt
There’s no turning back when the bridges are burning

This Sceptred Veil
by Sergeant Thunderhoofsupported by 11 fans who also own “The Forefather”
What can I say? Well, I don't like rock music I'm more reggae and soul oriented. The last rock album I purchased was Rainbows Down To Earth and it was around 1980 I just don't like rock, well I didn't think I did BUT I just listened to Sergeant Thunderhoof and WOW I'm a fan of rock music again. I've listened to 3 albums and decided to buy The Sceptred Veil. It wasn't an easy decision due to an excellent back catalogue, but I feel this is a standout piece. I recommended them to my Son also.
