about

"This song is about snakes 'n' s***"

Read above.

A set staple now, The Crypt was one of the quicker songs we pulled together. Lyrics down by Pete, guitars directed by Pete and Ant, Bass parts mostly roots and everything else more or less fell into place! Not much else to say except...

Read above.

lyrics

The Nile runs red with the blood of slaves
As it creeps on through the night
The hourglass ticks on a forgotten relic
Coiled and ready to strike

All darkness and chaos with one vicious bite
Stand your ground and get ready to fight
The world as you know it shall cease to exist
It came from The Crypt

The damned and the saved it's all the same
As Osiris beckons for you
Every man woman and child
Prime and defiled
They will all bow down and be slew

All darkness and chaos with one vicious bite
Stand your ground and get ready to fight
The world as you know it shall cease to exist
It came from The Crypt

All darkness and chaos with one vicious bite
Stand your ground and get ready to fight
The world as you know it shall cease to exist
It came from The Crypt

The underworld unleash in serpentine scales
Piercing your skin it will not fail
Running with fear and venom in your veins
Knowing death is seconds away

All darkness and chaos with one vicious bite
Stand your ground and get ready to fight
The world as you know it shall cease to exist
It came from The Crypt

A Crisis Of Faith

This album features impressive musical flexibility. Notably I am impressed by the fullness with which Kaine has grasped the concept of the heavy ballad. Christian Towalski
