Summoning the Lich - Demon of the Snow Lyrics

Beyond the ancient stronghold through the mountain pass
A force of malice reigns for all recorded past
Alters constructed offer praise to the beast who shrouds their fortress from the armies attack
The payment offered a malevolent feast
A virgin slain upon the altar keeps them safe from his wrath

All hail the demon of the snow
Praise the beast dwelling deep below
Shield us from fate we offer all that we know and only ask you protect us for we fear the unknown
All hail the demon of the snow
Praise the beast dwelling deep below

The yearly feast they thought protected them from death
Was stored within the beast he stirs now from his rest
Just as you gave so you now shall receive
Accept this gift of misery and drop to your knees
The veil of lies released
Their comrades in arms surround their town deceased

How could we kill our brothers long thought dead? Were they not in fact the armies that so filled us with dread?

Ascending in darkness as the alter splits in twain
I hear his voice all deafening! through the pain they hear him say
You killed with no remorse
Lost in madness as you slay
The ones who lie before you came to warn you of the evil of my ways

All who oppose my reign may freeze among the dead
The rest shall serve me til you draw your final breath

All hail the demon of the snow
Praise the beast dwelling deep below
Shield us from fate we offer all that we know
And only ask you protect us for we fear the unknown
All hail the demon of the snow
Praise the beast dwelling deep below

Fear the Beast dwelling deep below

For centuries the kingdom fought to reclaim the fortress lost within the demons domain
Try as they might all who would face them are slain
By the ones who called them comrades once with eyes of disdain

All fear the demon of the snow
Projecting lies from the ice below
