The rising dust the clash of steel
The show of blood for the crowds appeal
You fight to win for freedoms gain
You curse the sun you feel the pain
The trial begins on scorching sand
Spilling the blood of another man
In the heat of the sun the battles begun, you will not rest
[Chorus]
The sun the crowds and the sand
The sword you hold in your hand
You’ll fight until it is done
You lose and you Die In The Sun
Your helmet is hot your blade is bright
Your leather breast is pulling tight
The other man, skin of black
Trident in hand for him to attack
For reasons you know your thrown on the sand
You lose your life or kill this man
One way or another you are set free, you know
[Chorus]
You swing through the air the targets found
You feel the wound you fall to the ground
The prong cut deep all hope is lost
You pay the price you soul is the cost
Foot on your breast knife at your throat
He turns to the box they give him the vote
All thumbs are down they seal your fate
You die in the sand
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Ah where to start with this! Late to the party when I stumbled across it in a record shop and was talked into buying the "metal record" by a cousin.
Almost single-handedly rekindled my flickering love of NWOBHM, led me down the rabbit hole past the "name" artists and honestly has affected my listening habits to this day.
Cannot recommend this and its (at time of writing) three siblings enough. Waiting with bated breath and crossed fingers for more! goatcrust

Unabashedly and almost cheerfully Epic, this Old School Metal offering is guaranteed to warm your heart of steel. If you like Slough Feg or The Sword, you should definitely check this one out. Grendel's Sÿster
