A Day Under the Earth

Listen close, child of the sun
I shall tell you where we hail from
In the tunnels amongst the rats
No sky of promise, no nothing like that
We are the earth's forgotten race
In the devils begotten place
If you listen you'll hear the cry
Of pale children just waiting to die
Fangs of ivory and eyes of doom
Dragging endlessly through the tomb
But one day we'll be from this curse
After this there can be nothing worse

Sword of nails and axe of bone
A stoic king without a throne
You see the tragedy of birth
After a day under the earth
Surface mongrels run and hide
We are your darkness deep inside
Humans maybe, souls of worth
After a day under the earth

Funny isn't it how we sing
Tribes of Mother Earth and everything
Culture blackened by the rain of coal
Never even heard of Rock and Roll
Yet listen to our fated drums of war
And hear that we are gonna settle the score
Behold the empire of the dark
Our queen is east and south is the spark
Up north is where the music is flushed
And to the west there is only a lust
But in essence it is merely a grave
By my liege this kingdom I'll save

Sword of nails and axe of bone
A stoic king without a throne
You see the tragedy of birth
After a day under the earth
Surface mongrels run and hide
We are your darkness deep inside
Humans maybe, souls of worth
After a day under the earth

Horizon genesis we welcome you
Among the ranks of the brotherhood
Of a new era that is coming to
The river bank and the sun bleached wood
Ascend the stairway of destiny
Crack the skulls and them bleed
Gone are days of false mercy
We rule the towers of class and creed

Sword of nails and axe of bone
A stoic king without a throne
You see the tragedy of birth
After a day under the earth
