they signed in blood lyrics

We will not follow Rome
The twisting of our faith
With the hand of God
You wrote the new light

The queen has decreed
You must believe like me
So it was written, so it shall be
So it shall be

So the list was captured
And it's time for us to die
Following their orders
To enforce the lie

Village by village
And township by town
Hung, drawn and quartered
Some where slowly drowned

They signed in blood
Proclaimed their faith
They signed in blood
And sealed their fate

'Cause if you're gonna die
Die for what you believe in
You know, there's more to this world
Than meets the eye

The riders are coming
The hoof beats are thumping
The specter of death leads the way
The queen has decreed
The spiritual seed
Will be crushed out this day

And those who have signed
Be killed by the blind
The soldiers who'll slay
The names are above
Still written in blood
Are there to this day
