Stranger Lyrics by The Recks

The Beast From The Sea

2018

Verse 1
While the craven dogs cry sucking humble pie under the shadows of blasphemes of the sad ravens smile
I know you know they know there’s a stranger in town
And for some strange reason I had another vision of the man stood tall and proud
But despite my reactions I lost him in the crowd

Chorus (x2)
Run child run child beware of the killer
Run child run child hide from the killer
Run child run child run from the killer, now

Verse 2
I heard he caught a feral child walking in the wild I heard he loved as his own
And killed him on the way back home
I heard he caught the rarest spider it crawled from deep inside of he
Sailed his sins on the northern wind
And he burnt the witch and he burnt her twin

Chorus (x2)
Run child run child beware of the killer
Run child run child hide from the killer
Run child run child run from the killer, now

Verse 3
The thunder strikes and the lightning falls as they call out the names of the dead
The tears mix with rain as they call out the names of all those that they are left on the earth
The flames from beneath scorch the soles of the feet of all those who left behind
They all join their hands; write the names in sand as they scream and they fight to be heard

Chorus (x2)
Run child run child beware of the killer
Run child run child hide from the killer
Run child run child run from the killer, now
