The Mad Arab |
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred |
Travelling in the mountains, the mountains to the east |
One night before him there stood that giant rock |
3 symbols carved in blood |
He built a fire at its root |
To protect him from the wolves |
The mad Arab, he would understand |
The mad Arab, it was in his hands |
Later that same night |
Awoken by wolfen’s cry |
The Arab cold with fear |
Saw the rock began to rise, rise |
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred |
Shivering he saw them coming, the mountain’s evil priests |
Black robes came together, around the floating rock |
3 symbols in the dark |
They all started chanting ancient songs |
It was prayer in unknown tongue |
The mad Arab, he would understand |
The mad Arab, it was in his hands |
Daggers held high to the sky |
The chanting had turned to screams |
From the pit where the rock had been |
8 snake-like monsters came |
And the symbols burned in red |
And the priest had turned their heads |
The blood running from their chests and daggers |
Had the Arab scream in horror giving himself away |
The mad Arab, he would understand |
The mad Arab, had to run away |
Run down that mountain side |
But they had seen him |
The priests had caught his scent |
Running faster, they’re chasing him |
Can’t go no faster, they’re still behind |
Ah no, they’re closing in |
