Run With The Pack

by Vallhünd

Run With the Pack Based on "Law of the Jungle" by Rudyard Kipling This is the law of the jungle, old and true as the sky The hound that keeps it lives, the hound that breaks it dies As the vine that grows, running forward and back The strength of the pack is the hound and the hound is the pack Chorus The vultures may follow the tiger, but Pup when your whiskers grow Vallhund is a mighty hunter, go forth and kill on your own. RUN WITH THE PACK The kill of the pack Is the meat of the pack Eat it where it lies. Whoever takes meat to it's lair, is the one who must die The kill of the hound, is the meat of the hound, he may do with what he will Until he gives permission, the pack will not eat the kill Chorus This is the law of the jungle, old and true as the sky The hound that keeps it lives, the hound that breaks it dies You may kill for yourself, or your mates as need be But never kill for pleasure and never waste the meat Chorus

Sun, Moon, and Fire Moon of silver and sun of gold. She said you’ll shine no more, Your light I hold. Nine black horses, take the light away When to return, she would not say. Chorus Night is king, it’s reign is unbroken Darkness rules the land No sun, no moon, no light to live by Darkness covers man Is it a dark miracle or an accident of nature? He sets to put the light back on it’s path. From his sword, flames in all directions Into the heavens and the Ether’s starry skies Chorus Fire rains, conquering the midnight. Three times, the hero makes his call. “Return to us the moon and the sunlight, Or fire will rain eternal.” Night was king, it’s reign now broken Darkness leaves the land The sun, the moon, and fire to live by Light covers the land

Confessions of Golias Give me loose society, where love will bring variety Serious matters wear me down, and they aren’t ever funny I must be quite the fool indeed, flowing like a river Never quite the same thing twice, deviant forever Down the primrose path I go, as is young man’s fashion Every virtue I neglect, vices are my passion Pleasuring is what I crave, rather than salvation Dead in soul, I live for physical sensation Chorus The road to the underworld, is open to me Is it better to reign in hell, than to serve in slavery? To die in a pub drunk is my resolution Where the drink can ease me through my last dissolution Than the herald angels will sing in a choir of glory Deus sit propitus, huic protatori Chorus Outro The road to the underworld, is open to me Is it better to reign in hell, than to serve in slavery? I confess to all I know, my worldly indiscretion Will you accuse yourself with your own confession?

The Song of Lord Halewijn To the devil I give my soul to get this in return, Power, wealth and glory. I will learn a song to lure all the maidens fair And a blade to take their heart Chorus I will sing you a song and you will follow me I’ll take you down to a gallows pole You will never leave Because the price of this insanity Is your maiden’s heart and soul The devil’s gift wins fame, fortune, and love from all. But the cost is never paid in full. One by one the women he charms follow him to the woods, never to return. Chorus Father king may I go to hear his song, you may not for you will not return Mother queen may I go to hear his song, you may not for you will not return Brother prince may I go to hear his song, you may go, take my sword , keep your honor and be worthy of our crown She hears his song and sees her fate in his eyes And she knows what she must do to survive With lightning speed and her family’s sword She cuts his neck and his head falls to the ground I will sing you a song Of how I kept my honor and my life With my family’s sword and my own self worth I left that bastard rotting in the ground
