Venom Riddle of Steel song lyrics

Hooded in the mists of time in distant lands of dust

Here they live and forge the steel that carves out human lust

Thulsa doom his flesh and bone control of all that's fake

Lifting head and staring eyes that guide the sinful snakes

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel

Armies of followers who are guided by his throne

Blindly walk to Thulsa's steps that foot the black kings home

On and on the warrior that stalks the beast that killed

The families of his friends and foe that fall unto his will

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel

Snakes that come together over palaces of pain

Gates of flesh that open up to let in acid rain

All the smells of blasphemy are deep within this hall

Writhing here in ecstasy awaiting Thulsa's call

Stretching out and forged in steel a blade drwn from his arm

Searching for the sacred neck to cure the world of harm

Slashing through the snakelike scales deep into the core

Splitting into bone and blood and settling the score

The truth that lies within the riddle of steel

Where all our lives begin the riddle of steel

Steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel steel
