Cirith Ungol - Half Past Human [EP 2021]

Lyrics to Half Past Human [EP 2021] by Cirith Ungol

Tracklist: 01. Route 666 [Verse 1] Cruising down the road, how could I know What would happen that night? My engine just died, I didn't know why My eyes were blinded with light I started to run, then started the fun For then came the beast of the night I turned around to see it beckon to me Felt my blood turn to ice, to ice As it capered toward me All I could see were its eyes filled with fire I felt its caress and the heat of its kiss My loathing turned to desire I leapt to its touch and ran to its clutch My heart beat faster and faster I knew it too late to change my fate I was slave, it was master [Chorus] When you travel this road, you know your soul is sold To the beast who is waiting for you alone on Route 666 You know you've been picked By the beast who is waiting on Route 666 [Verse 2] If you don't believe what happened to me Don't you call me a liar Just look in my eyes, don't look so surprised I said they were filled with fire Now it's your turn, and now you can learn What it means to be picked Goodbye my friend, but I'll meet you again I'll meet you on route 666 [Chorus] When you travel this road, you know your soul is sold To the beast who is waiting for you alone on Route 666 You know you've been picked By the beast who is waiting on Route 666 02. Shelob's Lair [Verse 1] Escape from danger to the light of day But he knew too little of Shelob's ways Thoughts are stifled in the choking air Forever trapped in Shelob's lair Shelob's lair [Verse 2] Warned by eyes that never sleep Orcs swarmed from their dungeons deep Nazgul's cries rent the blackened air The ringbearer lies in Shelob's lair [Verse 3] Shelob was hungry, intent on her prey But she never looked where Samwise lay But even as he looked on in despair She sensed an intruder in Shelob's lair [Verse 4] Too late she looked, and felt the bite The bite of "Sting" pierced her armored hide The stench of death filled the stagnant air Now Shelob dies in Shelob's lair 03. Brutish Manchild [Verse 1] So long ago, years untold When Man-Ape found the Vein of Old Its very first steps were led astray Down the path to us today [Chorus] Brutish Manchild Brutish Manchild [Verse 2] With a brutish glare on his sloping brow More than an ape it seemed somehow Intelligence lay behind those eyes And yet its first few words were lies [Chorus] Brutish Manchild Brutish Manchild [Verse 3] Down the road from ape to man Through the years of darkness span Comes the One of which we're warned Brutish Manchild, a beast is born [Chorus] Brutish Manchild Brutish Manchild 04. Half Past Human [Verse 1] Travel forward into time, to see what's going to be Evolution in reverse, an ugly thing to see Fifty million centuries, Man-Ape rules the Earth Science is forgotten, as darkness sweeps its curse [Verse 2] The fate of mankind flickers like a candle in the wind Man-Ape only laughs, there's still time for sin Sacrifices to the Beast, hear their baleful cries The bane of all tomorrows, for evil never dies Evil never dies [Verse 3] Thе Beast has arisen to lead its Chosеn Ones Into darkness eternal, beneath the dying sun Tempest of the Eidolons, the ritual begins Thirteen screaming souls to feed the one within To feed the one within [Verse 4] Earth is dark and frozen, never to be another dawn The bloody rule is ended for mankind's faithless spawn Dead disciples, frozen Earth, but the Beast does not mourn It croaks a laugh, and turns Its thoughts to worlds yet unborn Worlds yet unborn
