about

Based on Karsa Orlong from the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erickson and Ian Esselmont

lyrics

They called me warleader
Seven faces in the rock
Setting forth from my home
Seeking honor for my tribe

I will slay the children
I'll crush their bones to dust
Chains dragging behind me
I will quench my blood lust

Raiding their homes
They must atone
Raiding their homes
They're not alone

I was captured and enslaved
Sealed inside of a pit
I escaped, freed others
Blood trail begins again

Traveling on the sea
Of Kurald Emurlahn
Boarded an Edur ship
Not one soul left alive

I entered Raraku
Now serving the Whirlwind
These chains are growing longer
When will this blood trail end?

Leaving Sha'ik behind
In search of fabled blade
I traveled far beyond
I killed one of my gods

Receiving blade of flint
Named for my fallen friends
I returned to the desert
Repelled the Malazans

They know me by one name
Call me the Toblakai
They know me by one name
Call me the Toblakai

WITNESS

Chains drag behind me
Thousands of leagues long

Your civilization, they will all come crashing down
In my reign of terror violence will abound
They'll call me a god but
I'm nowhere to be found

This is brutal and groovy! Once it gets going, there is nothing that can contain it. The guttural vocals and crispy, crunchy riffs lay on top of the blasting bass. And let that snare run wild! Heavy hitter here for sure. barleybase
