Atila the Hun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's something coming from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow 'cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
[Chorus]
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
[Verse 2]
Look into the jaws of death
Can you feel the devil's breath?
There's nowhere left for you to run
The scourge of God, he soon will come
[Chorus]
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
[Verse 3]
From towers of Babylon, to the deserts of the sun
In temples of mighty Rome, to the land of the Earth and the stone
The only word that you will hear, the name that brings you panic and fear
When you think the killing's done, a million voices rise as one
[Chorus]
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
There's something coming from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow 'cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
[Verse 4]
Can you hear them coming near?
You cannot move, you're paralyzed with fear
All they bring is death and pain
The life you had will not remain
A mighty empire rising from the east
Will you send an army to defeat?
The mounted warrior's arrows fall like rain
The conqueror's armies ride across the plain
[Chorus]
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
There's something coming from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow 'cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
Look into the jaws of death
Can you feel the devil's breath?
There's nowhere left for you to run
The scourge of God, he soon will come
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
From towers of Babylon, to the deserts of the sun
In temples of mighty Rome, to the land of the Earth and the stone
The only word that you will hear, the name that brings you panic and fear
When you think the killing's done, a million voices rise as one
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
There's something coming from the east
Hear the thunder of the beast
Evil shadow 'cross the sun
A million voices rise as one
Can you hear them coming near?
You cannot move, you're paralyzed with fear
All they bring is death and pain
The life you had will not remain
A mighty empire rising from the east
Will you send an army to defeat?
The mounted warrior's arrows fall like rain
The conqueror's armies ride across the plain
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
Attila the Hun
