Strike Of The Beast Lyrics - Bonded By Blood - Exodus

walking down the backstreets 

the noon is full and high 

you feel your body start to sweat 

someone's about to die 

you turn around and run 

it's the only thing to do 

someone's about to die 

and that someone... is you 

time to run or fight 

off the strike of the beast 

you hear the creature's hooves 

start to echo through your brain 

you fear the demon's hellish howl 

it makes you go insane 

you smell the creature's fowl stench 

laced with death and waste 

don't lose your mind he's right behind 

breathing fire in your face 

time to run or fight 

off the strike of the beast 

if you fail you'll be 

the hellish demon's feast 

black as night he begins his flight 

wings outstretched in the cold 

glowing eyes, he wears no disguise 

his evil has yet to be told 

breathing fire the beast is flying higher 

now he swoops down on his prey 

all the world a horrid mess 

leaving black earth in decay 

the beast prepares for battle 

and you prepare to die 

the blood running down your throat 

dulls you woeful cry 

you can feel the power rage within your soul 

when you die you go to hell and live... forevermore
