Swords and Leather Lyrics

[Lyrical Obscurity: Equitant, Voices: Proscriptor, Bass: Equitant]

...With sword at my side,
The horns sound the call of assembly.
Black fuckin' leather is my way of life, as flames and burning winds cover the
Earth!
(SLAUGHTER!)
Miles of frozen lands are far behind us...
We ride along the margin of the woods.

O' great is the black swords of Eire.
Thus to speak is the shame of your lord.
We ride through the bleak winter skies; hearts full of hate and steel shining
Bright!
Alas, it's ill, to walk in my shadow...
O' master of doom, you are alone.

In chariots of fire we went forth,
To call the spell of blazing flames.
My black sword of Eire has returned.
In glory, of the land, of the flame.
Child of wisdom and words...
Son of magick and the sword.

Call the spells of burning winds!

[Chorus]

SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...with steel, flame, and honor!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...our brave hearts will conquer!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...with steel, flame, and honor!
SWORDS AND LEATHER - ...our Celtic blood will conquer!

[Repeat All Verses & Chorus]

[Lead: Ifernain]
[Lead: Shaftiel]


...With sword at my side,
The horns sound the call of assembly.
Black fuckin' leather is our way of life, as flames and burning winds cover
The Earth! (SLAUGHTER!)

[MARTA/MARCH, 1995]

There are 2 bands named Absu.

1. An American black metal band with a sound comprised of both thrash and death metal. Formed in Plano, Texas in 1989, the band's name was originally Dolmen but this was soon changed to Absu, drawing thematic influence from esoteric middle-eastern and Celtic mythology. They recorded four albums and an EP from 1993 to 2001. After the release of Tara in 2001 the band was put on hiatus as guitarist and bassist Equitant Ifernain and Shaftiel departed, citing musical differences and disinterest in the band, respectively.

The current line-up is:
Proscriptor McGovern - Vocals (lead), Drums (Proscriptor, ex-Melechesh, ex-Judas Iscariot)
Vis Crom - Guitars (Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, ex-Armageddon, ex-Evil Divine)
Ezezu - Vocals (backing), Bass (ex-Panzram)

In 2007, Proscriptor resurrected Absu, announcing a new line-up and a new (self-titled) album was released in 2009.
