WONDERBEAST LYRICS

1. The Call Of The Wild

Can you hear a thunder rolling?
Death knell calling, death knell tolling?
Can’t you feel the ground is shaking?
Dancing to the sound they’re making!

Beasts of earth they charge like thunder,
Fire spits up from down under!
Red devil-glow in their eyes
they run Past you – to Mother Gaia!

They’ve heard the call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!
They’ve heard the call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!

Look to the sky blacking out the sun
Are beasts of feather way above,
No colour coats their wings,
Only just the dust rides them now!

And with their wings they beat you deaf!
Keep your ears covered and your head down!
Their squawks break the silent wind
Hide to cover, run and duck!

Get out of the way lest you be killed,
You cannot stop these beasts you fool!
Make sure you get to higher ground,
Get inside – do not make a sound!

Children stand paralyzed with fear,
As this stampede of hooves draws near,
Their bodies break – their bones are snapped!
The beasts tear their path!

They’ve heard the call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!
They’ve heard the call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!

Skimming across the sand come the snakes,
Out of deep fissures and from lakes.
Their scales are covered in ancient dust
And hissing joins the chorus.

Underneath the legs of the herd
beasts Like a black wave – if you stand still,
A silent death overcomes you,
and You’re dragged under the sand!

What was once our town that we did keep
Is now a blackened earthen heap,
The dust has settled and come knee-deep,
The beasts have torn their path!

And what was the thing that made run?
And will it ever happen again?
We live in fear that we may hear again,
The call of the wild!

The call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!
They’ve heard the call of the wild!
The call of the wild – it’s the call of the wild!

2. We Need To Change Our Ways

We are all angels with only one wing...
The only way we fly is to embrace... *

An eye for an eye makes the world go blind... **
No... No... No... No...
The universe is like the sea,
but we’re only on the shore.
The human race is like a ticking time-bomb,
Of corruption, violence, and disease!

The world is dying – we need to stop!
The world is dying – we need to change our ways!

The world is dying – we need to stop!
The world is dying – we need to change our ways!

3. My Heart's Lament

Oh, to bring back the Glory Days!
Oh, to spend my time there!
Such sweet romances I yearn for!
Miss for; burn for!

If only to be bright again,
my heart laments for happy days.

Oh, to bring back the Glory Days!
Oh, to spend my time there!
All the people I’ll never see!
Beside me; without me!

If only to belong again,
my heart laments for happy days.

Oh, to bring back the Glory Days!
Oh, to spend my time there!
Everything that I’ll never do...
Once more or twice more...

If only to be me again,
my heart laments for happy days.

Oh, to bring back the Glory Days!
Oh, to spend my time there!
To be with her forever there!
Safer there, keep us there!

If only to feel love again,
my heart laments for happy days.

5. The City In The Sky

I am awaiting the darkness to fall.
Protect me as I hide, I fear their call.

Monsters...outside.

They smell our fear, our sadness, our pain.
They’re celebrating their ill-fated reign.

Tragic beasts - they’re flying to the City in the Sky!
Our last hope – our last defence will fall before
Our eyes!

Mine is the body they’ll use for their feast.
My innocent flesh will taste so sweet.

Monsters...inside.

They will denounce the most holy god.
Bad blood shall not stain the house of the lord.

Tragic beasts - they’re flying to the City in the Sky!
Our last hope – our last defence will fall before
Our eyes!

Sanctus Abbas, servo nos...
Scelestus bestia provicisor!
Nos vox, permissum nos existo
Unis per invicem.*

In the name of our God
we will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky!

In the name of our God
we will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky, so divine.
We will fight for the City in the Sky!

[*Loose translation: "Holy Father, save us, wicked beasts march! We cry - let us be one with each other!"]
