Beautiful & Cruel / Uther Doul
Across the world along the way
Learned The Verses Of The Day
Perhapsadian sits unplayed
While Uther Doul begins to train
History with the Brucolac
Holds a Ghosthead artifact
He's never ever going back
Back to the High Cromlech
Oh, beautiful and cruel
Beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, look at Uther Doul
Beautiful and cruel like you
Monkish in serenity
Scholar of Possibility
The nigh, the factuality
Awake the feral savagery
Holds himself beyond sublime
When he fights he alters time
Needs not you or Thee and Thine
The wise man or the asinine
Working the loom of the nigh
Chant his name to those who'll die
Hedrigal the Cacticae
Uther sent him off to fly
Horizon moves in the light
Artistry cuts keen and bright
Perhapsadian in the night
Unwilling leader leads the fight
Oh, beautiful and cruel
Beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, it split the world in two
Beautiful and cruel like you
Wayfarers all
Don't you know you're very, very small
Wayfarers all
Uther Doul is answering your call
A captain to enthral
A captain to enthral
Oh, beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, it split the world in two
Beautiful and cruel like you
Beautiful and cruel, look at Uther Doul
Beautiful and cruel like you
Learned The Verses Of The Day
Perhapsadian sits unplayed
While Uther Doul begins to train
History with the Brucolac
Holds a Ghosthead artifact
He's never ever going back
Back to the High Cromlech
Oh, beautiful and cruel
Beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, look at Uther Doul
Beautiful and cruel like you
Monkish in serenity
Scholar of Possibility
The nigh, the factuality
Awake the feral savagery
Holds himself beyond sublime
When he fights he alters time
Needs not you or Thee and Thine
The wise man or the asinine
Working the loom of the nigh
Chant his name to those who'll die
Hedrigal the Cacticae
Uther sent him off to fly
Horizon moves in the light
Artistry cuts keen and bright
Perhapsadian in the night
Unwilling leader leads the fight
Oh, beautiful and cruel
Beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, it split the world in two
Beautiful and cruel like you
Wayfarers all
Don't you know you're very, very small
Wayfarers all
Uther Doul is answering your call
A captain to enthral
A captain to enthral
Oh, beautiful and cruel like you
Oh, it split the world in two
Beautiful and cruel like you
Beautiful and cruel, look at Uther Doul
Beautiful and cruel like you
