BLIND ASSASSIN Demo 1986 LYRICS - Hilfe!

[ION BRITTON]

OK, here's what I've done so far. I started with "Assassin" which I believe is nearly complete and is my favourite from the demo. "Warfare" sounds quite difficult at many points, but I've found a few lines there as well. Haven't worked on "Put to the sword" yet. Waiting for your contributions, greeks with lousy english always need help

Assassin
Lay your steel
I pray thee now
Do your deed this day
My feast your prey

Trial by fire
Die or be damned
Valhalla is closing its gates
Step for the evil
Come taste my hate
For I shall see me slay this day

One fatal blow
Is all that it takes
Its bay breaks the day
And tells me his soul has been taken away

Our horses rebel smelling death in the air
You can feel ..........
My blade tears his flesh with ....... it strikes
His body becomes a ravaged thing

One fatal blow
Is all that it takes
Its bay breaks the day
And tells me his soul has been taken away

His flesh hangs in ribbons near the.......
He stands with one foot in his grave
Through his wicked heart he feels the night
And his body quivers as it drinks up his life
And the blind assassin and the paladin
Find the sword of truth slay the evil man
Above your prides
Far beyond your threats
I’m love and hate
I’m life and death

Lay your steel
I pray thee now
Do your deed this day
My feast your prey
Into my hands his spirit

Trial by fire
Die or be damned
Valhalla is closing its gates
Bury him while his body’s still warm
.........the nails in his coffin to be seen nevermore


Warfare
....................
In the early morning light
The dying scream anger...............
Scouts on their bases.................
............................................
Enemy bloodlust is never ...........

Steel shines bright
On the field of eternal night
On the land where man creates..........
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

............................................
Limb from limb they are rammed
An enemy head is lying in the dust

Steel shines bright
On the field of eternal night
On the land where man creates..........
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

They are taking your lives
On the field of eternal night
On the land where many fight no more
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
By the sword by the spear by the arrow
Warfare

[MEXDefenderOfSteel]

im totally contributing to this....later on that im back from school ha,but indeed i have some ideas and slight changes for the Assassin track lyrics you gave

[Moonchild]

Here's my attempt at Warfare. The question marks are either words or verses i'm not sure of:

Warfare
Strength rouses[?] over him
in the early morning light
The time[?] screams [?]
Scowls on their faces
are terror and grim determination
Enemy blood lust is never [?]

Steel shines bright
on the field of eternal night
On the land where
man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

[?] into the prey
[?]
Teeth clenched in a [?]
of mortal hatred
Swift his descent
on the foe
Limb from limb
they are ripped or wrecked[?]
An enemy head is lying
in the dust

Steel shines bright
on the field of eternal night
On the land where
man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

The taking of lives
on the field of eternal night
On the land where
many fight no more
Many find everlasting reward
many die in tragic despair
by the sword, by the spear, by the arrow
Warfare

[daniel]

Wohoo

I only heard this demo the other day, and it's mindblowing.

My attempt:

'Assassin'

Blade of steel
I pray thee now
Do your deed this day
My fist your frame embrace

Trial By fire
Die or be damned
Valhalla is closing its gates
Step forth evil, come taste my hate
For I shall see you slain this day

One fatal blow
Is all that it takes
?
And tells me ? has been taken away

Our horses rebelled smelling death in the air
View his fear in my polished steel
My blade tears his flesh with its anger filled strikes
His body becomes a ravaged thing

One fatal blow
Is all that it takes
?
And tells me ? has been taken away

His flesh hangs in ribbons, nearly a corpse
Stands with one foot in his grave
Through his wicked heart he feels the night
And his body quivers as it drinks up his life
I'm the Blind Assassin, I'm the Paladin!
I'm the sword of truth slaying evil men
Above your prides
Far beyond your threats
I'm love and hate
I'm life and death

Blade of Steel
I pray thee now
Do your deed this day
My fist your frame embrace
Into my hands
His spirit condemned

Trial by fire
Die or be damned
Valhalla is closing its gate
Bury him while his body's still warm
Drive the nails in his coffin to be seen, nevermore

GREAT LYRICS!

'Warfare'

Strength ? in the early morning light
The dying scream up to heaven above
Scowls, on their faces are terror and grim determination
Enemy bloodlust is never sated

Steel shines bright, on the field of eternal night
On the land, where man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

? into the fray, shield ?
Teeth clenched in a grimace of mortal hatred
Swift his descent on the foe
Limb from limb they are rent
An enemy head is lying in the dust

Steel shines bright on the field of eternal night
On the land where man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

The taking of lives on the field of eternal night
On the land where many fight no more
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
By the sword, by the spear, by the arrow
Warfare

[MEXDefenderOfSteel]

agreed with Daniel´s version of assassin

One fatal blow
Is all that it takes
?
And tells me his song? has been taken away

[ION BRITTON]

Cool, we're making progress. I can't listen to the tracks again now because I am at work, but most of the corrections/additions seem correct.

Are you sure you can't hear the line?

Its bay breaks the day
And tells me his soul has been taken away

I was clearly hearing 'bay' and at first I thought WTF?, but after looking at a dictionary I saw that it had other meanings as well. I don't know the english word for this case here, but it meant the edge of a blade as far as I can remember

[MEXDefenderOfSteel]

now that i see it like that it makes sense

bay can mean a deep prolonged howl acording to dictionary

[Black Axe]

now that i see it like that it makes sense

bay can mean a deep prolonged howl acording to dictionary

Yeah, a bay is the repeated long howl a dog or wolf makes (preferably at the moon ).

And yes, it's his soul that's been taken away.

My take on the missing parts from Warfare:

Strength was to stuggle him in the early morning light
The dying scream up to heaven above
Scowls, on their faces are terror and grim determination
Enemy bloodlust is never sated

Steel shines bright, on the field of eternal night
On the land, where man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

Here comes the blood, foal's into the fray
Shield breaks, you're dead
Teeth clenched in a grimace of mortal hatred
Swift his descent on the foe
Limb from limb they are rent
An enemy head is lying in the dust

Steel shines bright on the field of eternal night
On the land where man creates a storm
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
This is warfare

The taking of lives on the field of eternal night
On the land where many fight no more
Many find everlasting reward
Many die in tragic despair
By the sword, by the spear, by the arrow
Warfare

[Heavy]

I don't know about the first verse of Warfare... I hear:

Strange clouds spin over heads in the early morning light

[Black Axe]

I don't know about the first verse of Warfare... I hear:

Strange clouds spin over heads in the early morning light

I already knew my version of that line was wrong after I had posted it. I didn't have time to listen again though.

[Heavy]

I'm not even sure if my version is correct... otherwise, I totally agree with the rest of the blanks you filled.

I started breaking my balls on 'Put To The Sword'... tough one... still waiting for Ion Britton if he has gotten somewhere with this one.

[daniel]

Yes I can hear 'bay', though it doesn't make much sense to me. 'soul' fits, though I don't quite hear it, like there's some other sound in there, hard to say

I don't agree with any of the suggestions for 'Warfare', I've slowed the track down and don't hear anything of the sort.

Been going at the first track a few days now and it's damn difficult... here's what I've got so far:

'Put To The Sword'

If the ? pass, on on and til the first would be forged
And in(sounds like 'if' but how does that make sense) its life many a man would be torn
From a ? came destruction’s flame, for steel to ?
99 of its pages damned, but once in hand, feel its weight

Instrument of destruction
Under fire and brimstone its figure wrought
The arm of slaughter given to war
First of the legacy put to the sword

In a moment, its frame bears the mark of the ?
Time of misfortune its blade would be broken in twain

Put on the altar, white hot its pieces are made
Fused back together, and prepared to rise once again
Last time ? and sharper than ever before
The end in violence, metal will stand evermore

Instrument of destruction
Under fire and brimstone its figure wrought
The arm of slaughter given to war
First of the legacy put to the word
The blade of metal will stand for evermore

[ION BRITTON]

daniel, can you post the slowed down versions of 'Warfare' and 'Put to the sword'?

[daniel]

I put all three in there.
