lyrics
RIGOR MORTIIS...
Under the coat of steel armor, riding on thousand horses
Black Devils are coming back home
Across Hareb-Seraph’s fields and kingdom of Abaddon
Black Devils are coming back home
Through September sun
Through shame of prison
Through sands of the desert
Through golden beaches
Through green vineplants
Through great rivers
Black Devils are marching with vindictive fever
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are marching
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are fighting
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are bleeding
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are dying
Black Devil doesn’t know what ‘sorry’ really means
Wrath, anger and fury has killed ‘sorry’ within him
When the Devil’s eyes will see you on the battlefield
You can’t hide; You can’t escape
You can’t surrender
You cannot win
You can go into rapture, with what you have created
Mercyless is the Devil and the Devil doesn’t know
What mercy is, What mercy is
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are marching
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are fighting
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are bleeding
Pro Patria Polonia, Black Devils are dying
