Deaf ForeverDeaf ForeverStoneface dog, swirling fog, gates open on the dark dark night Standing stone, skull and bone, dead witness to an unseen fight Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat forever on the endless march Stricken dumb, cut and run, someone is screaming and the sky is dark [Chorus] Sword and shield, bone and steel, rictus grin Deaf forever to the battles din March or croak, flame and smoke, burn forever in eternal pain Charge and fall, bugle call, bone splinter in the driving rain Horses scream, Viking dream, drowned heroes in a lake of blood Armoured fist, severed wrist, broken spears in a sea of mud [Repeat chorus] Mother earth, mother earth enfold you in her cold embrace Sinking down, killing ground, worm crawling on your cold white face Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal when their memory fades No one knows, friends or foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave [Repeat chrous + last 2 lines twice] 2. Nothing Up My Sleeve You're playing tricks babe, and that's a fact Your magic circle ain't where's its at One moment you were here, and then you disappeared This ain't the first time that I've caught your act [Chorus] Nothing up my sleeve, babe Watch out, watch out Magic's what you need, babe Just like that. You know your slight of hand is messing up my life Maybe this time babe you're gonna get it right One moment I was there, now just an empty chair This ain't the first time you've shout out my lights [Chrous] Saw me in half babe, and that's quite a trick You make me laugh babe, you make me sick I'm gone but now you lack the spell to bring me back This ain't the first time I've seen your magic slip [Chorus] |
