Doom of the Doomed
V1 He sits alone in a tomb Like a virginal womb Demons flock to his side His soul and mind to divide To pick and pull at his mind Where one thought is enshrined Like vultures to the feast they’re coming His heart and mind they’re…. Bridge Drumming Strumming Poking Prodding Chorus Oh, he’s the bane of evil Girded with the holy name Oh, he’s the scourge of demons With one sign they are all rendered lame He’s watching Waiting Guarding Heaven in the very depths of hell V2 Twenty years in the tomb The doom of the doomed Ephemera stripped away No longer fearing the fray Now the tomb is a shrine They flock to him to find Wisdom for their healing But the glory he’s… Bridge Concealing Bells are pealing Supplicants kneeling In their hearts they’re feeling

V1 Deviant curiosity Of the ring round in red Spiteful and cursing He’ll soon be dead Chorus Heed the old shepherd Steer clear the Wailing Well To whose who draw near It's the doorway to hell They’re rags and they’re bones Three women and a man All flutterin’ and clackin’ Better run while you can V2 Stanley was a cynic But he was nipped in the bud When pulled down from the branches He’d been drained of his blood V3 If you ask the old shepherd Though it gives him no joy He’ll tell you with the four There now roams a boy Inspired by MR James

Chorus Faces fire, golden wings Everything about them sings Voices toll and words that ring Messengers of Holy King O unveil my eyes Raise me through laddered skies Transfigure clay, this mortal guise Borne aloft to Paradise V1 Fast asleep in this drowsy flesh Weighted body the stench of death Generation of mortal man Degeneration of life and span V2 Dream or vision I cannot tell But I fear it’s my death knell Fiery creatures of piercing light Mouths ablaze words glowing bright Twilight of all I thought I knew Wash away this filth and make me new

V1 The pendulum keeps swinging Takes no care, has no pity She doesn’t stir, clock keeps turning Oh, how did I miss the warnings? Chorus A tiny bird with broken wings Gives way to gravity Her plaintive song no longer sings She has flown away from me V2 A silent prayer, lips barely moving Against her breast sacred image reproving Rose from her knees though still bowed down She cast aside her wedding crown Inspired by the F Dostoevsky story

V1 Frightener of children Writer of runes Caster of spells His wicked tunes V2 Unlocking the secrets Better left alone Deciphering enigmas But killed by a stone Chorus Caster of runes Wielder of hell Its you who have been cast down Succumbed to your spell The demon you summoned Now summoning you The magic you wielded Now Wielding your doom Inspired by MR James

V1 Silently - in the grave I wait My eyes grown dim with weeping Cords of death - entangle me The beast of hell never sleeping Memories - broken shards of glass Conscience a wound ever bleeding Despondency- has taken hold of me Worm of Hell ever feeding Who will light my darkest hell? Who can break the serpent’s spell? Chorus Pangs of death surround me torr’nts of foulness swallow me. The pangs of hell encircling, snares of death overtaking. Driven like sheep to hell death shall be our shepherd Our help shall rot, rot in hell Wailing voices never never to be heard. V2 Eternity - only memories Regret my funeral dirge singing Mournfully - a pall of shame Hollow bells are ringing Is this the end? Melancholy tune? Awaiting stripes and lashes Close the book, seal the tomb Our beauty dust and ashes Who will light my darkest hell? Who can break the serpent’s spell?
