Schäffer the Darklord - Giant Iron Snake lyrics

War has torn this land apart
Darkness is fallin'
Stalling industry is ground to a halt
Vultures are callin'
All the people crowd into the streets
Sirens and cries
Our last chance to leave the island
Our last chance to survive
The people speak of our three queens
All were forced to flee
Into exile- to a lost isle
Far across the sea
They have summoned all of their
Subjects to follow their leads
Some heed the call
Some follow in search of their families
The road will be rough, I'm sure
Could lead me to a grave
But I've lived life as a coward
Now is the time to be brave
A simple worker, a common peasant


Not much of a man at all but if I do this
I will be a Hero proud and standing tall
The water is too choppy
So I go beneath the streets
Into the tunnels
Dug for centuries that lead to the east
The legends speak of a creature
That lives here underneath
A subterranean colossus, a mechanical beast

So I go - Down, down beneath these streets
But I know - The Giant Iron
Snake is waiting for me
And if so - I'll drive my blade
Into the belly of the beast
And if I do something, I will be something

So I go - Down, down beneath these streets
But I know - The Giant Iron
Snake is waiting for me
And if so - I'll drive my blade
Into the belly of the beast
And if I do something, I will be something

I feel it before I hear it
I hear it before I see it
The rumbling roar of the
Beast builds to screeches
Releases the stones from the walls
Dust fills the room in the darkness
I feel the bones - these catacombs are a tomb
BOOM!
The Giant Iron Snake approaches, slithering
It's eyes light up the dark
And it's glistening - it's listening
I know it knows that I'm here
It slows as it nears
My moment to strike arrives, show it no fear
I go YAH! and thrust my blade
Into it's scaly iron side
Tear a hole open with both hands
Crawl into it's insides
And I find in the beast's belly
All of it's previous hunters
Half-eaten bodies of others
Numbering hundreds
All the dirty and dead eyed
Survivors frozen in state
They tried and died before me
And met horrible fates
There's not a moment to wait
No way I'll die in this place
So help me God
I will fight or ride this Giant Iron Snake

And I know - If I can harness it
I can ride the beast
But Oh No - The Giant Iron
Snake will not go in peace
If I'm slow - that awful
Monster will deliver defeat
And if I do nothing, I will be nothing

And I know - If I can harness it
I can ride the beast
But Oh No - The Giant Iron
Snake will not go in peace
If I'm slow - that awful
Monster will deliver defeat
And if I do nothing, I will be nothing

Suddenly the serpent lurches forward
Tossing me into the bodies
It's stomach contents jostling
I scramble in it's guts for footing
I clutch and find the cold
Steely bones of the giant snake's iron spine
I fasten it with straps and
Give it a powerful yank
And the creature leaps forward faster with
The force of a tank
Thrashing from side to side with
All of it's might
Until it bursts through the bedrock
And into the moonlight
It launches and crashes upon the
Beach with a BOOM!
Expelling me and the others
From it's multiple wounds
Waiting there to meet us on the
Isle are our three queens
Along with our children
Spouses and other refugees
A welcome of wine await's
But first I turn and see
The injured Giant Iron Snake slipping
Back beneath the sea
As it heals it'self our eyes meet
And at last the creature speaks it says
(Stand Clear of the Closing Doors, Please)

Stand clear of the closing doors, please
Said The Giant Iron Snake to
Me in broken human-ese
I have bested the beast
It has delivered me to Queens
If you see something
Say something - say something

Stand clear of the closing doors, please
Said The Giant Iron Snake to
Me in broken human-ese
I have bested the beast
It has delivered me to Queens
If you see something
Say something - say something
