The Shepherd And The Hounds Of Hell Lyrics

The Shepherd And The Hounds Of Hell

A vast and naked landscape

bathes in the blood-red setting sun

A
pale man dressed in cape,

walking on the field alone

His rod is
dragged

along the soil he walks upon

The flame that once burned in
his eyes

is now forever gone

he feels his spirit weaken.

Has
he been abandoned by his god?

His body lies crawled up to a fire that

is burning through the night

Why so vulnerable,

why so filled
with fright?

What is that this man is hiding?

What cross does he
bare?

Why does he follow

the sound of dogs howling?

What is
it that he fears?

The howling is the Hound of Hell

released on
earth

The Shepherd failed - the flock is free

to roam in a realm
they call their own

They bring temptation,

as the snake that
tempted me

In an Eden of such beauty,

you will never see
