Lyrics
/**********************/
/* ABOUT: The paladin of Odin is brought to trial for taking vengeance upon the undead. But to his horror, the court is filled with vampires and creatures of darkness, a mockery of justice with no desire for truth.
Corrupt and biased judges seek only to condemn him to death,
not for justice, but out of pure hatred.*/
/**********************/
INSTRUMENTAL
In the crimson hall of whispers,
Where justice turns to stone,
A thousand eyes are watching,
As the righteous stand alone.
Vampire judge is feasting,
Dead jury laughs in decay,
Their verdict carved in darkness,
Where the truth has lost its way.
Pre-Chorus
Chains of law made from lies,
Echo through infernal skies!
Chorus
In the Court of Shadows
The wicked rule the night!
No mercy for the faithful,
No place for what is right!
In the Court of Shadows
Where truth is torn apart!
The undead speak the sentence,
And evil plays its part!
The beholder glares in silence,
Each eye a shard of sin,
His gaze a maze of judgment,
No mortal soul can win.
Skeletons clatter their verdicts,
With bony hands raised high,
As the fat lord drinks his victim,
And wipes the blood from his tie.
Pre-Chorus
Black Hound still grips his holy blade,
But the gods above have turned away!
Chorus
In the Court of Shadows
The wicked rule the night!
No mercy for the faithful,
No place for what is right!
In the Court of Shadows
Where truth is torn apart!
The undead speak the sentence,
And evil plays its part!
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Bridge
Lightning cracks through the stained glass sky,
His soul still chained, yet not denied,
He screams to Odin, “Hear my cry!
If this is law… then let it die!”
Final Chorus – extended, soaring
Chorus
In the Court of Shadows
The wicked rule the night!
No mercy for the faithful,
No place for what is right!
In the Court of Shadows
Where truth is torn apart!
The undead speak the sentence,
And evil plays its part!
