The sound of misery
Our children cry
From hunger and thirst
We all could die
Like a fool
I brought us to this cave
What once was shelter
May be now our grave
What was that?
What did the wise man say?
Does he hears footfall on the plains?
A herd of mammoth
Tall and strong
Our chance is now
But we don’t have long
Grab spears
and torches aflame
We’ll round them up
by the lake
chase them down
like a green grass snake
Too late to know
Their mistake
Down the meadow
Where the earth splits
We’ll run them toward
The steep cliffs
With no wings to spread
They’ll fall into the depths
Every one of them dead
We’ll be feasting
Now the mammoth fly
Off the edge where they go to die
To the valley below
Where we’ll harvest their flesh and bone
We give thanks, father sky
Through this winter we’ll now survive
For the rich meadows
We give thanks to mother earth below

The Wise Man

The wise man came
and he said
My son
You’re the one
That will lead us
There
Over steppe e
To the meadows fair
It’s your time
Your time
Your tribe
Yours to lead
Ours to find
Spirit of the divine
The dreams of old spirits
Live inside
This tea of mushrooms
Imbibe
Come now my son
For the ritual has begun
Partake of the colored smoke
Take another toke
Well!
Oh wise man you’ve taught me so well!
The ancient spirts
Now in my mind
Thank you oh elder
Wise Man

Curse the long
Haired devils
They’re beasts
And they came to back
To haunt
And spoil our feast
Arrived back to the cave
And what’s this?
All the women
And the children gone
That’s it!
Those demons
We will cut them down
Lets go
Grab your sling
And stones now
We will seek them
In the wooded plains
And we pray
For victory
Man!
[solo]
You must kill them all
Spare not a one
Said the wise man
Dying in pool of blood
I summon the spirit
Of dark revenge
We will slay them all
Come now my kin!

Prey
Pray for deadly vengeance
I smell the presence
Of Mankind
They all must die
Torn
From the womb
By mankind
They’ll even kill the young
You will see
Every one must die
Prey Prey Prey…
Now we have come
To the wooded plains
Take not a breath
Til no doubt remains
In the air is the scent of man
They have come this way
Prepare for the slaughter
For which we have prayed
Slings and arrows
Rain down like hailstones
They fooled us somehow
By firing from the tops of trees, how
They will cast us down
An ambush planned
On our band of the brave
Now scream and shout
The wounded lie dying on ground
too many to count

Dawn
05:47
|

|
By bloody wounds
I am overcome
The cruelest fate
My life undone
Short of breath
Heart beating in my chest
Not ready to pass from this life
To the next
Each soul
That the devil-men stole
Buried and forgotten
Now one with the stone
Too late for the spirit of revenge
No way for me now
To avenge all their deaths
Now sun begins to rise
Gold light now fills the skies
Dawn of man, death sublime
Darkness for all of time
Fire, stone
Flesh and bone
The gods weep
For their broken home
Tears stream from my tired eyes
Now I know that I will die
My age through
I was outdone
The cruelest fate
My tribe overrun
No spirits left
Of my blood
all bereft
As the page turns on
From this age to the next
My life was short
But my spirit was strong
If not for man
I’d see the dawn
But now my time
Has come to die
I thank the spirits
For my life
