lyrics

there dwells a dark creature among us whose tongue twists backwards spits fire
it feasts without remorse and the land is all scorched
and it lulls us to sleep with a song I say, sings us to sleep with a song

When we wake the rage fills up our lungs
our fists clench with plans of revenge
let us gather our might
prepare for to fight
so we may live our lives without fear one and all

when we ride let the wind be at our back
let the fury find us through the flame
we shall no longer be servants to the murderous serpent
will shall kill the God to once we prayed
death to the god we once praised

Our time has come now for glory
freedom can nearly be felt
kiss your lover goodnight
for tomorrow we fight
we all know how this battle will end, my friends

When we reached the dark dripping lair
our sabers aimed to strike the beast down
but as we approached
his voice did invoke
us to throw down our swords
and praise our true lord
and serpent swallowed us whole, I say
even swallowed our souls

our people sit sick and frail
the monster it grows bigger still
he continues to feast
were in the belly of the beast
we're beginning to call it our home now
in the darkness we found our home
