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
