Fables and Folklore Lyrics by ShadowStrike

Fables & Folklore

2021

[Verse 1]
Crawling forth from the marsh, out of the dark
A beast of an unknown kind
As word of it spread to the foreign lands
The people were scared for their lives
Warriors armed with brutal strength
And a sense of blinding pride
Forced the beast to its homeland
Where alone it withered and died

[Pre-Chorus]
All your life was in vain
Who or what is to blame
Fright and fear of an old empire
Lost in the pages of its time
(For the blood, for the pride, for the steel)

[Chorus]
Demons of might, and honor and pride
When all the king's horses and all the king's men
All gather around in the dead of the night
For the king and his kingdom we'll stand up and fight

[Verse 2]
Facing the dark, we meet our demise at the end
(Stand together now)
With blood on our hands, we fight for the peace yet again
(Night forever now)
Marching on we stand together
Fantasy of night forever
When the pain's inside your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
All your life was in vain
Who or what is to blame
Fright and fear of an old empire
Lost in the pages of its time
(For the blood, for the pride, for the steel)

[Chorus]
Demons of might, and honor and pride
When all the king's horses and all the king's men
All gather around in the dead of the night
For the king and his kingdom we'll stand up and fight

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
See the hero's rise to power and call for an era of war
So fight for your life or burn in the fires of Hell
A raging dragon's flight for justice ends it all
And now: we look to the... great un-known

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
All your life was in vain
Who or what is to blame
Fright and fear of an old dead king
Lost in the pages of his time
(For the blood, for the pride, for the steel)

[Chorus]
Demons of might, and honor and pride
When all the king's horses and all the king's men
All gather around in the dead of the night
For the king and his kingdom we'll stand up and fight
