Lich King - Necromantic Maelstrom lyrics



Tracks



01. Lich King

In the hills, past the wretched abyss
Through the reeking bogs and carrion mists
Up the trail, to the black castle gate
Undead lord is the master of fate

Run and scream with your heart in your throat
Past the drawbridge and over the moat
Tattered robe and yellowed bone
Undead lord on his slaughterhouse throne

Give into fear, all hail the dead
What once was damned has been risen instead
Give into hate, all now are lost
Your ghoul demigod and his black holocaust

All hail the Lich King

Heads on pikes on the turret walls
Vollies of thunder and fire he calls
A necromantic maelstrom of lightning and sin
Undead lord and the skeletal grin

Give into fear, all hail the dead
Throne and the crown and the rivers of red
Give into doom, all lost in the dark
Scepter and sword of the hated monarch

All hail the Lich King

Ancient evil, crowned corpse mage
Enemies butchered and peasants enslaved
Crying for mercy, you're barely alive
Undead lord, wicked wizard denies
All...hail...the

03. Mascot War

One day there was a mascot war, the body count was large
Metal vs. cereal, and Eddie led the charge
Toucan Sam was kneecapped and his beak was smashed apart
When Murray clubbed him in the face and then ripped out his heart

Tony didn't feel so great when Wrex opened his head
With some friendly violent fun that stupid tiger fuck was dead
Not manned up and with a punch proceded to lay waste
Planted a fistful of metal right in Wendell's smarmy face

Silly Rabbit didn't look, was in for quite a shock
When Vic Rattlehead came from behind and brained him with a rock
Snaggletooth impaled Booberry on his piggy tusks
And then roasted him, his breath turning the undead fiend to dust

It's a mascot war

Grim Reaper jumped his motorcycle through a church window
There he found the Corn Flake Rooster, killed him with a solid blow
Jack-O-Lantern took one of the seven keys, said "die,"
And then Lucky, that poor bastard got it crammed into his eye

Honey Bee and Chaley battled high above the ground
With a hammer of his head the winged skull, he won the round
Flotzilla towered high above the battle, with a chop
It was doomsday for deceivers known as Snap, Crackle and Pop

Count Chocula, a wooden stake inside his heart, was slain
It was placed there with no mercy by bloodthirsty Baphomet
Cap'n Crunch was stomped upon and then his head was pissed
Because Sargent D was coming and he was on his list

There's too much at stake tonight
Metal mascots take the throne
Diggum's skull is gleaming white
and Frankenberry dies alone
Frankenberry dies alone
Frankenberry dies alone
Mascot war

Breakfasttime your time is up
Show the Honeycomb thing no fear
Hold fast and stand your ground
Our time is now, our moment's here

09. Bodies On Bodies

Up for the dead
Blood-thirsty rulers are bred
Rising up their dreams of hell
Are waiting for you
Their words will cut you in two

KILLING ‒ HE JUST KEEPS KILLING

"Save us," they're screaming
As death's hand is weaving
Stitching, quickly killing all
For reasons unknown
They quickly slice to the bone

BLEEDING ‒ THEY JUST KEEP BLEEDING

This power stripe upon my arm
Is what my world is running on
So hide your head or join the dead
A place you all will soon be led

Come with me child, I'll do you no harm
As I violently am clenching her arm

There is no stopping
The bodies are rotting
Piling up the graves a mass
Are waiting to spew ‒ they're being dug out for you

DYING ‒ THEY JUST KEEP DYING

Their cynical laughter
Is what we are after
Coming from the mouth of hell
Is turning to dust
Their cities crumble in rust

BODIES ‒ THEY'RE JUST DEAD BODIES

This power stripe upon my arm
Is what my world is running on
So hide your head or join the dead
A place you all will soon be led

Come with me child, I'll do you no harm
As I violently am clenching her arm

Gasoline injection into the vein
Starvation, millions of dead are on their way
We could really care less for your lives
We'll gas you, shoot you, stab you with a knife
And if you think you're going to escape
We'll cut you down, like weeds at the gate
Laughing at you loudly as you die
Your wounds bleed profusely, say goodbye
Goodbye!

They dictate and you live your lives

BODIES ON BODIES

A stagnant state, a stench of hell

BODIES ON BODIES

A place of death ‒ for you!

These dying people
Screaming for their lives
Sadistic killers
Ignoring all their cries

Ruling party
You will see their death
Millions of souls
You have taken their breath

Science projects, should we kill the rest?
Tell us quickly, which way's the best?

In the end you will be no more
Your nation crumbling, slam the door

BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES

Massive graves retain their stench

BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES ON BODIES

Lifeless skeletons wear their flesh

They dictate and you live your lives

BODIES ON BODIES

Never leaving until you die

BODIES ON BODIES

A stagnant state, a stench of hell

BODIES ON BODIES

A place of death ‒ for you!

10. A Lesson In Violence

If you got something to say
Then come my way
I'm guarded by Satan
I'm riding on Baphomet
I'll teach you a lesson in violence
You won't soon forget

The pleasure of watching you
Is what I will get

Fight ‒ for what you believe to be right
Crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
They run from the fire in my eyes
Nothing can save them now
You've learned a lesson in violence
Get on your knees and bow
Or learn a lesson in violence

I love to stab my victims
Until they're dead
A knife to the throat
Or a smashing blow to the head
I'm judge and jury
My sentence has just been passed
Step into the circle of hell
If you think you can last

Fight for what you believe to be right
Crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
They run from the fire in my eyes

Nothing can save them now
You've learned a lesson in violence
Get on your knees and bow
Or learn a lesson in violence
