Enemies of the Khanate strung on hooks like pigs to slaughter.
Heads will roll.
Heads will roll, throats will be slit and blood will flow like springs of water.
Heads will roll.
To the River Red(across the ochre steppe)

A thousand fathers killed, a thousand virgin daughters spread with swords still wet, with swords still wet with the blood of their dead.

Nurjan is upon us, he kills in silence after prayers.
Genghis Khan is upon us, and he slays his betrayers.
Thus still the fools of God will guard the city of our birth,
Hold an ear to the ground,
Hear the sound.
Of Clamoring and horses stammer as their gallop meets the earth.

A thousand fathers killed, a thousand virgin daughters spread with swords still wet, with swords still wet with the blood of their dead A thousand fathers killed, a thousand virgin daughters spread with swords still wet, with swords still wet with the blood of their dead

Tomorrow.
Tomorrow they will find us.
Hide the children free of sin.
We will meet their blades by morning.
Protected only by our skin.
Tomorrow we will find them.
Seek the youngest of their kin.
And we will meat them with our fury.

And we will crush them all like vermin.
And we will crush them all like vermin.

    Song Meaning:Obviously the song is centered around the mid twelfth century, in a time and place at which Genghis Kahn was ceonquering the majority of Asia. Though a famed warlord whom killed millions, Khan's battles were strategized and precise. The militia's attacks were brutal as depiected. They were fast, silent, and accurate often taking the enemy by surprise. I can see how their conquests would be as much like the massacres this song portrays. The line, nurjin is upon us is incorrect, it should be now Jin is upon us. For those of you who do not know, Khan's birthname was Temujin. When his father, a local chieftain, was killed there was a dispute regarding who would lead the tribe. By 1206, Temujin’s evident military prowess united the Mongol tribes and earned him the title of Genghis Khan. The part, clamoring and horses stammering as their gallop meets the earth is associated with the fact that his men each had three to four horses so that they could travel one hundered miles per day. Genghis Khan is upon us, and he slays his betrayers is quite accurate, as he trusted no one and given the means, would likely kill fellow soldiers. Tomorrow we will find them, seek the youngest of their kinis rather confusing. Either it means that they would seek out the children to kill before their family as I imagine this would be a rather terrible tactic for accomplishing a surrender or perhaps acquiring information, or they sought out children to become future warriors as children can witness terrifying things and not be affected, forget, not comprehend the severity of the situation, or not care. A child's trust can be gained easily and they can be tought war tactics easier than adults. This is likely what the song refers to.

    General Comment:PTH is the only band capable of happily singing about heads will roll and blood will flow like springs of water. Also the only band who can start singing da da dada da da da dadada da dada da da da dadada in the middle. Best PTH song hands down, definetly about Genghis Khan's army.

    General Comment:And I think Nurjan may have been another name for Genghis Khan, in case anyone is wondering. Or it may possibly reference his conquest of the Middle East, as Nurjan is an Islamic name.

    And the meaning of "a thousand virgin daughters spread" is simple: Its talking about how the Mongol warriors raped and brutalised the wives and daughters of their enemies.

    General Comment:Oh come on people! The meaning of this song is obvious. Its not got any hidden metaphorical message; its about Genghis Khan and his conquest of Eurasia - plain and simple. (In very clearly says: "Genghis Khan is upon us.") It describes the events of the Mongol Conquest, from the points of view of both the Conquerer and the Conquered.

    Now if you haven't heard of Ghengis Khan, then you're quite frankly an idiot. But if this is the case, follow this link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
