Holy Grail - Improper Burial lyrics



Tracks



01. Fight To Kill

White lightning over you
Fire in the air
The night grabs hold of you

Voices calling you
From long ago
Entranced with bravery
A call to victory

Power, courage, sword and shield
In the dark of night the blood will spill
Our destiny will be fulfilled
Gods of battle, fight to kill

The sound of solid steel
Smashing everywhere
Exploding victory

Mighty, righteously
Enthralled with chivalry
For all eternity

Power, courage, sword and shield
In the dark of night the blood will spill
Our destiny will be fulfilled
Gods of battle, fight to kill

C'mon!

Power, courage, sword and shield
In the dark of night the blood will spill
Our destiny will be fulfilled
Gods of battle, fight to kill

02. Immortal Man

So here we go again on the last crusade
Who ya think you're fooling now?
Until the war is done your luck will never change
Now the horde will cut you down

Beware!
I'm comin' fast!
Any chance you take will be your last
So run while you still can

I am!
Immortal man!
You mortal fools may run and hide
But I will never die

Don't pull the plug upon our everlasting hate
I'm too pissed to give up now
Ultimate power vulture warrior from above
Who ya foolin' anyhow?

Beware!
I'm comin' fast!
Any chance you take will be your last
So run while you still can

I am!
Immortal man!
You mortal fools may run and hide
But I will never die

Improper burial you had it coming your way
He comes from a perilous land where the Pegasus lay
Seen in great strides from galaxies so far away

Beware!
I'm comin' fast!
Any chance you take will be your last
So run while you still can

I am!
Immortal man!
You mortal fools may run and hide
But I will never die

03. Exciter

Music & lyrics by Rob Halford & Glenn Tipton
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask

Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp,
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip,
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
the very soul of your being will cringe.

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask

When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance,
Cauterizing masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter

04. Fast As A Shark

Music & lyrics by Accept
Fog in the streets
A church clock beats
Midnight - darkness all around

You better beware
You better take care
Be prepared for the shock

The time has come
And he's the one
Who's breathing down your neck

Coming from behind
Now it's your time
A loser will die

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'cause the killer's on the attack

Surprise attack
Coming from the back
An expert of the deadly knack

Just take care
Just beware
Be prepared for the fight

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Watch out - watch out

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's on the attack
