THE FALL OF MAN - final draft There's a storm sweeping over this feudal land And my heart is pounding like a battering-ram And the screaming and the howling of my soul being damned But I'm still waiting - waiting for the fall of man So kick the newborn from their cots and smash their bodies on the rocks Divide the land – kill the livestock In New Britannia – Darkstar calls the shots When the moon no more reflects its light And the suns is drowned in the sea of night Then all my minions will arise – at the sound of the hornpipes No escape from despair Tears freeze in the air And the eyes of the night are everywhere The eyes of the night are everywhere There's a storm sweeping over the feudal land And my heart is pounding like a battering-ram And the wailing and the howling of my soul being damned But I'm just waiting – waiting for the fall of man Lay bare the womb of this fair land when castle walls no-longer stand And all the world is in my hands then New Britannia will be damned.........
SHADOW OF THE BEAST - final draft Though the air of the Strath churns and sweeps Nothing stirs in the shadow of the beast The moons a black hole sinking in a sea of night You can hear cicada chirrup deep beneath its bloodshot light And there beats a heart of darkness deep beneath my mortal flesh I'm tired and thirty And waiting to death But who knows what secrets that its conscience keeps The omniscient of the shadow of the beast There are tides of darkness flowing from the ether There are temptations and tests I can't withstand And there are evildoers and creatures of hathor Rising in the shadows sweeping over this land Their rising in the shadows sweeping over this land And the moons a black hole sinking in the sea of night Sinking into blackness deep beneath its bloodshot night But there's nothing to hold onto No end and no release Nothing but the all-consuming shadow of the beast.........
