ORCHID LYRICS

1. Helicopters

Helicopters in the sky
Ain't no time to wonder why
Shadows move across the land
Silent village quiet sleeping in waiting
Distant sound is drawing near
Hum of engines creeping fear
Stirring child in jungle lands
And all the while the wicked world is turning

And still the wicked world is turning
As another land is burning

Black hand reaching over
Hellfire run for cover
No love in their eyes
Blind men serve their master
Hellfire and disaster
No love in their eyes

Satan's locusts break the dawn
Messengers of fallen sons
Winding through the eastern skies
Spot the air like blackened swarms of sorrow
Hear the sirens on the ground
Fire falling makes no sound
Bodies burning screaming out
All the while this wicked world keeps turning

And still this wicked world keeps turning

Black hand reaching over
Hellfire run for cover
No love in their eyes
Blind men serve their master
Hellfire and disaster
No love in their eyes

2. John The Tiger

Evil venom creeping through his veins
Blackened shadow cast of the insane
Like a devil that stands out before you
Hiding plainly in sight
Rabid killer that cares not of mercy
Slipping through the night

Walks with a murder in his stride
And a hell within his mind
Moving through London like the dead
White Chapel streets run red
John the Tiger
With the devil at his side
John the Tiger

Twisted figure slipping through the fog
Lusting specter, hunting rabid dog
Like a shadow that's cast in the darkness
Hiding plainly in sight
Demon madman that cares not of mercy
Slipping through the night

Walks with a murder in his stride
And a hell within his mind
Moving through London like the dead
White Chapel streets run red
John the Tiger
With the devil at his side
John the Tiger

He stands at the gateway to Hell
Hatred arid death in his hands
The crown prince of pain and deception
Lucifer's son as a man
All he sees all he feels
Is ripping him away
Madness, bloodlust, and terror
Has driven him deep in the fray

John the Tiger
He's got the devil at his side
John...
John the Tiger
He's got the devil at his side

3. Sign Of The Witch

We live in the shadows
Cast out over us all
You are the son of the devil
That we call our god in the sky

The lord of deception
You trade our freedom for gold
We put the killer that sold the world away upon on the throne

And you won't stop until there's nothing at all
Under the sign of the witch you were born [2x]

You tear down the mountains
Put your death in the air we breathe
You fill the ocean with darkness pouring over again and again

The lies and illusions
You sell them to everyone
You are the hatred that fills the world with sorrow and pain for us all

And you won't stop until there's nothing at all
Under the sign of the witch you were born [2x]

And you won't stop until there's nothing at all
Under the sign of the witch you were born [2x]

Under the sign of the witch
Sign of the witch you were born
You were born
Sign of the witch

4. Strange Winds

Mother of mercy
Holding the sun
Shelter beside me
Until it was down

She was a secret
That everyone knew
Sleeping in silence
Dreaming in blue

She flies on strange winds
Making her way back home
She moves through the door

She flies on strange winds
Making her way back home
She moves through the door

Lost in confusion
Losing my days
Drowning in sadness
Living in shame
She was the darkness
That looked for the light
Waiting in shadows
Mother of sight

She flies on strange winds
Making her way back home
She moves through the door

She flies on strange winds
Making her way back home
She moves through the door

The door...
Moves through the door...
She flies on strange winds...
...on strange winds...
Flies on strange winds...
...on strange winds...
