Aurelio Voltaire - Fear and Anguish lyrics
[Aurelio Voltaire - Fear and Anguish lyrics]
None of us will soon forget
The Day before those things arrived
In the Churchyard on the hill
A man had just buried his bride
She returned that day, alive
There's a silhouette on the horizon
Like an evil stain on the rising sun
And as it approached, we saw it was her
And her eyes were red
She said "You're all dead!"
Then collapsed down to the ground
As if somebody cut her strings
Fear and anguish reigns ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
Suddenly over the hill
A dog lets out an anguished howl
There ain't a beast this side of Hell
That could've brought on what
Befell that hound
He was torn from limb to limb
There's an evil stench creeping on the wind
Reeks of pestilence mixed with death and sin
From over the range that is where we found
Scattered on the ground, fifty heads of steer
But what's real queer
We searched all around
No other part was found!
Fear and anguish reigned
Ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
Some say from the skies they fell
Others claim they came straight from hell
Some swear they are from the dark
Yet others they believe they came
From our angry hearts and tonight we ride
Out of desperation over the mountainside
Towards the reservation
To see if they might know
How to stem the tide yet when we arrived
They turn their heads and the chief said:
"Now you know how we felt
When the white man came!"
Fear and anguish reigned
Ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
The Day before those things arrived
In the Churchyard on the hill
A man had just buried his bride
She returned that day, alive
There's a silhouette on the horizon
Like an evil stain on the rising sun
And as it approached, we saw it was her
And her eyes were red
She said "You're all dead!"
Then collapsed down to the ground
As if somebody cut her strings
Fear and anguish reigns ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
Suddenly over the hill
A dog lets out an anguished howl
There ain't a beast this side of Hell
That could've brought on what
Befell that hound
He was torn from limb to limb
There's an evil stench creeping on the wind
Reeks of pestilence mixed with death and sin
From over the range that is where we found
Scattered on the ground, fifty heads of steer
But what's real queer
We searched all around
No other part was found!
Fear and anguish reigned
Ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
Some say from the skies they fell
Others claim they came straight from hell
Some swear they are from the dark
Yet others they believe they came
From our angry hearts and tonight we ride
Out of desperation over the mountainside
Towards the reservation
To see if they might know
How to stem the tide yet when we arrived
They turn their heads and the chief said:
"Now you know how we felt
When the white man came!"
Fear and anguish reigned
Ever since they came
We used to walk the streets of town
Now we know we never will again
