[The dark lord is here!]
[That's the old passage to Ravenholme, we don't go there anymore]
[Pony Music]
When I pulled the sword
From the stone
Casting shadows
From the room
Headed back from Ravenholme
A stormy night
A haunted tune
Once reflected in the everclear
Boys without names became
Men yet untamed
Contained
Estranged
Some wandering lame
Two doors shut on the flame
No name to conquer the pain
Piano man plays through the dialtone
As biker gangs descend from Ravenholme
Should've stayed at home
Mother of many
Daughter of none
Bodies are plenty
Spoiled in rum
I know their secrets
I know my own
Call to the beast
Bring our men home
—
Oh
Deep inside the lair
Oh
Deep inside the
Yeah
Black ops
Hit the black top
In the black gulch
Just to plug the Rot
Strapped up
In chainmail
Hollow sludge
Sickened pale
Ancient spells
Secret trails
Platinum ships with
Flaming sails
Cascade for a Lucateil
Fuck these metros
I won't fail
Newgens
Want heroes
New gent
On death row
Smoke a bitch
In the big house
Then run it back
Let the coppers joust
No apologies
For the blank flanks
Took 'Bucka down
Just to hang blanks
Never knew me
'Till the ship sank
Killed a headcrab
For a blank slate
Oh
Deep inside the lair
Oh
Deep inside the
Yeah
Interrobang be like
Corner Folk
Clock a bitch
Till he's on the ropes
I did his tricks
I hit his dope
Put him on the list
So flies the crow
[Oh god]
So flies the crow
Like a bullet
Quadruped?
Bitch, I knew it
He a changeling
But in change
He ain't affluent
Uh
Newly wed to the
Wine, fish, and bread
Washing every fed
'Till the rivers run red
Going down and out
On the undertow
'Till I drag 'em down
Like a siren
Scale every cell
For the redhats
For the fires
They're first in line in
—
In the paper
Men were shouting
'Bout the girl
They never knew
Fifties crying
For a game
Once meant for kids
Now prime for two
Piano man holds his breath
The biker gangs loaded
Fifty stars on the chest
You know the rest
You know the rest
[Incursion warning]
The ice melts
Under the heat of our sons
Battered walls only go
When they come
[Incursion warning]
Girls only wanna have fun
The revolution is found in our fun
Founded in front
In the bright
Candlelight
Of neon
Shadows come alive
Tapestries
Burned long ago
'Fore the eons
Of our time
—
It rode as cavalry
Rending alien earth in its wake
Taking brothers
Sisters
Siblings
Fourside butterflies
Cindered ash
As the mother quaked
Another terrible fate
Spines of marrow grate
Walls of flesh
And crimson shades
As bad men went unfazed.
Against the cave
That beast
Holds fast
But inside the cage
A gilded feast
Would last
With men riding in packs
Their backs
Turned
Past is past
Silver pen
Dotting sins
Traitors
Raise half mast
I went and
Killed the person
That I were
Slaying every heretic
That still worships her
Man said
Don't you dare go hollow
Gunning metros down
Every nine letters
Memories blur
Chaos follows now
Fuck the sorry sod
Unburdened with patience
Befaded by wastrels
Revalations
For men
With debt temptations
Gonarch cradles
Every fabled end
I can't save my friend
I can't save my friend
