Scyth

The totem of the griffin, the totem of the deer Are tattooed on my skin as they are tattooed on my peers The double death has bitten those whose heads I take By arrows dipped in human blood and venom from a snake The shaman, the enare has seen what is to come The shaking of the ground as the hooves of horse's drum Budini, Geloni, Saka Haumavarga Dragonlords of Anunakh, blood and myth Androphagi, Saka Tikrakhauda Hail to the royal riding Scyth Look upon these quivers, wide as open graves And run or be beheaded or perhaps a weeping slave I measure a man, by the trophies he displays For no trophies are won by those who flee and run away The Greek call me a savage, uncivilized and dumb And still I hold their fate within the drawing of my thumb Budini, Geloni, Saka Haumavarga Dragonlords of Anunakh, blood and myth Androphagi, Saka Tikrakhauda Hail to the royal riding Scyth My arrows can be hired, for a while for gold and wine So you can boast of how you can control the hand of mine But my service is as fickle, as the piper in the tree I cannot be commanded, and no vows are holding me My one true pledge of honor is to my chief and tribe And blood cannot be sold for golden lies and dirty bribes I wither in your cities, I choke behind the walls And to be a man of wealth within them makes me nothing but appalled Budini, Geloni, Saka Haumavarga Dragonlords of Anunakh, blood and myth Androphagi, Saka Tikrakhauda Hail to the royal riding Scyth Budini, Geloni, Saka Haumavarga Dragonlords of Anunakh, blood and myth Androphagi, Saka Tikrakhauda Hail to the royal riding Scyth Hail to the green eyed devil Hail Scyth Hail Scyth Hail to the royal riding Scyth
