Ursus Armatus cleaves through countless barbarians as he makes his way to the compound he once called home. The bear brutally bombards the base as he barrels forward, blazing a path while leaving a blood bath. Towers collapse as the walls come tumbling down. Ursus marches into the inner sanctum of the fortress, where his master Cletus waits on his throne. Blade and claws clash as the master and protege duel to the death. Cletus is cut down with one mighty claw, however, more soldiers emerge and overwhelm our champion. As a final act to vanquish evil, Ursus Armatus fires his last salvo of missiles into the ceiling and brings the citadel down upon himself and his enemies.
As the empire falls, Ursus Armatus prepares for the end as he is buried beneath the ruins of Cletus' empire.
lyrics
Harbinger of death I’ve arrived
Hatred burning in my eyes
You’ve engineered my evolution
Now I seek my absolution
There’s no hope
As I descend upon your homes
I slay you all and watch you suffer
Dead and gone just like your brothers
Far beyond the white horizon
As the battle rages on
I keep my eyes to my salvation
But the war must still be won
The beast you once had tried to tame
Has broken free from all your chains
Raw fury coursing through my veins
The hammer falls on crimson frost
Clad in steel I burst through your walls
Warriors flee as your towers fall
I reach once more to draw my saber
And charge into the inner chamber
One more strike
As I come close to take your life
I bring you do-own to your knees and
Purge the world of your disease
Now I see a clear horizon
As the battle rages on
I keep my eyes to my salvation
But another war lives on
The beast you once had tried to tame
Has broken free from all your chains
Raw fury coursing through my veins
My freedom bought on crimson frost
From the clutches of death, I’ve survived
Under corpses; entombed alive
I’m fighting forward to escape
But now it seems I’ve joined their fate
I’ve lost hope
But I’ve made a difference on this day
A mass of bodies all surround me
I watch their empire fall around me
Now I see a clear horizon
As the battle rages on
I keep my eyes to my salvation
But another war lives on
The beast you once had tried to tame
Has broken free from all your chains
Raw fury coursing through my veins
The hammer falls on crimson frost
