Steam Engine Lyrics
so. I do believe. none of this is physical at least not to me so, I do believe that anywhere it goes t's always with me it's not the dream that makes you weak it's not the night that makes you sleep but it's a voice. and it's a choice to call you out. or stay at home so! I do believe none of this is physical at least not to me so I do believe that anywhere it goes it's always with me it's not the beast.

I. Heorot's plea and Grendel's awakening

Midnight suns bid moors farewell, retreats from charging dusk
Mountain echo, curfews bell, signal ending tasks
They place their faith in oaken doors, cower in candlelight
The panic seeps through bloodstained floors as Grendel stalks the night

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, [their eyes]

Wooden figures, pagan gods, stare blindly cross the sea
Appeal for help from ocean fogs, for saviour born of dreams
They know their lives are forfeit now, priestly head they bow in shame
They cannot face the trembling crowd that flinch in Grendel's name

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, [their eyes]

As Grendel leaves his

Wonderful Shadow Lyrics
You've a beautiful body and a wonderful mind These are things I've been stumbling towards And I think you've been kind towards me There are wonderful moments The gifts I've received And the knowledge is hurting But I guess it comes back to the things that you no longer need I'm an evil young hustler To be so curious These are evil young thoughts here To be so jealous, so jealous When a beautiful thought can Ca

mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
His claws will drip with mortal blood as moonbeams haunt the sky

As Grendel leaves his mossy home beneath the stagnant mere
Along the forest path he roams to Hrothgar's hall so clear
He knows that victory is secured, his charm will testify
His claws will drip with mortal blood, as moonbeams haunt the sky

Earth rim walker seeks his meals
Prepare the funeral pyres
The shaper's songs no longer heal the fear
Within their eyes, [their eyes]

II. Grendel's Journey

Silken membranes span his path, fingerprints in dew
Denizens of twilight lands humbly beg him through
Mother nature's bastard child shunned by leaf and stream
An alien in an alien land seeks solace within dreams
The shaper

Gods Of War Lyrics
I saw you shout up to the heavens You said oh lord bring me Armageddon Stockpiled guns and nuclear weapons For a price we’ll give you our protection Justified cause well we’ll do you favours Just give us the cash we’re mercenary’s for hire We’re Gods of war We’re Gods of war Gods of war Gods of war You want our nation collapsed from exhaustion Just say the word lets begin destroying We’ll

Beguiling queen her innocence offends his icy heart

III. Lurker at the Threshold

Hounds freeze in silence bewitched by the reptile spell
Sulphurous essence pervades round the grassy dell
Heorot awaits him like lamb to the butcher's knife
Stellular heavens ignore even children's cries

Screams are his music, lightning his guide
Raping the darkness, d-d-death by his side

Chants rise in terror, free round the oaken beams
Flickering firelight portraying the grisly scene
Warriors advance, prepare for the nightmare foe
Futile their sacrifice as even their hearts must know

Heroes delusion, with feet in the grave
Lurker at the threshold, he cares not for the brave, he cares not for the brave

So you thought that your bolts and your locks would k

Let's Make A Baby King Lyrics
Once upon a Christmas morning There was a pretty little baby boy It seems like I remember sadness Mingling in the joy For Mary saw the future And the sadness it would bring And that's when Mary started crying When she heard the angels sing (Chorus) Let? make a baby king Let? make him Lord of all Let? give him everything Let? make a baby king Now, you remember little King David He? the little baby?

eep me out
You should have known better after all this time
You're gonna pay in blood for all your vicious slander
With your ugly pale skins and your putrid blue eyes
Why should I feel pity when you kill your own and feel no shame
God's on my side, sure as hell
I'm gonna take no blame
I'm gonna take no blame
I'm gonna take no blame

So you say you believe in all of Mother Nature's laws
You lust for gold with your sharpened knives
Oh when your hoards are gathered and your enemies left to rot
You pray with your bloodstained hands at the feet of your pagan gods

Then you try to place the killer's blade in my hand
You call for justice and distort the truth
Well I've had enough of all your pretty pretty speeches
Receive your punishment
Expose your throats to my righteous claws
And let the blood flow, and [let the blood flow], flow, flow, flow.
