lyrics

A rude awakening at faraway shore
Just like so many times before
The lead's still hot, it guides me right to the east
I will not rest until I find the beast

A path of carnage drawn in innocent blood
My prey has left its traces deep in the mud
I find my way through these forgotten lands
To kill the monster as my oath commands

I prowl the twilight in the jungle day and night
Just one goal on my mind I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness cannot keep it out of sight
I'll keep on hunting till it's slain

The jungle thickens but still I must go on
Through ancient ruins that no one laid eyes upon
A sudden hissing merely meters away
It will not live to see another day

The end is nigh
It won't escape me
No time to waste
Seal its fate

The cold steel in my hand awaits the attack
Sharpened claws and toxic spikes on its back
The massive creature pounces out of the shade
I show no mercy, neither does my blade

I prowl the twilight in the jungle day and night
Just one goal on my mind I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness cannot keep it out of sight
I will avenge all who were slain by the mantis
I'll track the monster through the jungle's fading light
Just one goal in sight, I'm slaying the mantis
The heart of darkness will not keep me from the fight
I'll keep on hunting till it's slain

As others have said here, a definite staple in the NWOTHM movement. It has a raw sound that is reminiscent of the era while being a solid banger for a debut album. caffeinatedmetalhead

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
