In the land of the huns a warrior's born With a fist of steel and a will made of gold A strong king to some to the romans a thorn A terror in all of the lands of old Striking his foes down with blood Building a kingdom with his enemies' bones He defies the rules from the east and the west Violence abounds in his heart
Rivers of blood follow in his wake Spilling forth red from the heads that he takes Scourge of God, attila is your name A nightmare to all that oppose you Scourge of God, bring your foes to shame The whole world is set out before you
He marched through the balkins Spreading terror and doubt Constantinople bowed down to his will The dead were so many that no one could count No one survived, even women were killed Never defeated, never detured He marched into rome wreaking havok and fear Inside the walls he sat and watched the cities burn The screams of the people unheard
Attila had his forces arrayed Ready to take all of rome on the roads they had paved But as he planned his raid he was seen by the pope Who softened his heart and gave rome back its hope He turned away and went back to his land Left his plans in the sand A short time pasted, he decided to wed Another woman to lie in his bed Yet on his wedding day he never left his tent When they looked inside there he lay dead
