3 Inches Of Blood - Quest For The Manticore lyrics
Your rating:
[Bonus track off the Japanese release] Look up What does my lantern light? A mythical beast takes flight And flies overhead And strikes with the head of a lion Wings of a bird Tail of a stinging scorpion scourge Let's go seek the creature Of legend and lore Taking our bows on a quest for the manticore It haunts the night, stalking, preying on the skies Killing again, it's time to hunt and slay the beast Why do your bravest soldiers Join you on your quest A company of might and magic equal to the test Defend with all your skill, leave all your doubts behind No one shortsword could be enough to kill the manticore Slay the fearsome beast, the manticore Or you will rest in peace, the manticore Paralyze you cold, the manticore A power to behold, the manticore The beast, it hunts, for meat, preying on human death On it's trail Will you strike Do you dare? A demon that kills in the night devouring flesh Into the horror's lair Devoid of all things light Stalking you from the darkness with the clearest sight One swift violent motion Stinger in your eye Poisons coursing through, freezing up your mind Body's growing cold, the manticore You will die alone, the manticore It ate your friends alive, the manticore You're the last to kill, the manticore Cold, the creature will eat you alive Befor e the reaper closes your eyes Tearing the skin from your back Relentless in attack Your last ef fort strength and home Magic dagger in it's throat Blood running into your mouth Choking on it's pain When they find you They won't know you rose to stand and heed the call!
