The Oldest Foe

from Electric Bellow by The Mooh

/

lyrics

Old and children come get near
Around the fire, sit right here
'Cause a story is about to be told

Listen well and shed no tear
The tale is sad, but have no fear
You're the sons of the brave and the bold

Fear the fear, the oldest foe
Not the things that you don't know

Long ago across these lands
Where the field was green and gold
Lived a blacksmith, quiet and tall
Like the stars still unfolded

Once was young and once was free
Once was strong, a man like three
He could end the longest war with his hands

Fear the fear, the oldest foe
Not the things that you don't know
You may find that it's yourself the one unknown

"I won't risk my beloved reign"
Said the king, in thoughts of pain
"He could tear these castlewalls like (they were) sand"

The whole army called to war
"Are we prepared?" "Yes we are, lord"
"Head to the town and destroy that stranger man"

They awaited for the night
When the man was sleeping tight
Then they stabbed him in the chest to find his death

Time stopped in haunting silence
Suddenly he awoke in violence
They dit not know what they have done would bring their doom

Then the sky screamed and roared
They should have realized before
He was son of the mights, of the gods

The man died but so the others
So remember sisters, brothers
There is here a good lesson to be learnt

Fear the fear, the oldest foe
Not the things that you don't know
You may find that it's yourself the one unknown

Suenan contundentes, compactos y desbocados como un rebaño de vacas iracundas en estampida. The Mooh, el mugido eléctrico que no cesa ... more
