They come from the east
Like locust they feast
They scour the land
And take all they can
They seek to destroy
All in their way
Those who remain
Will just be enslaved
Damning to hell every land they invade
Ruling by point of the blade
Refuse to surrender and torture awaits
Choose to die or obey
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
To the walls
Barbarians at the gate
They move through the night
Appear at first light
Scale the walls
The city falls
Siege after siege
They lay kingdoms waste
Usurping the thrones
Of kings put to flames
Crush the rebellion of those who escape
Punish their kin who remain
Only the swords of the just and the right
Can drive the invaders away
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
To the walls
Barbarians at the gate
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
To the walls
Barbarians at the gate
Damning to hell every land they invade
Ruling by point of the blade
Refuse to surrender and torture awaits
Choose to die or obey
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
To the walls
Barbarians at the gate
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
To the walls
Barbarians at the gate
Heed the call
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
Barbarians at the gate
Barbarians at the gate
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
Heed the call
Heed the call
Barbarians at the gate
