1.	Massacre 04:03	lyrics	buy track
“Hark!” cries the goblin watch atop the tower “Look to the east and see an army drawing near Hordes of the spider-folk will arrive within the hour Take up your arms; we shall need every goblin here “Archers-- man the outer walls Soldiers-- draw your goblin-swords Ballistas-- prepare to crush our foe Riders-- mount your battle-wargs” “No!” cry the goblin young, watching their parents Don helmets, swords, and shields to fight the spider horde Solemnity in the air has become apparent And families cannot stay together anymore Cackling-- all the spider-folk Climbing-- o’er the goblin walls Legions-- too many to hold back Screaming-- the goblins fall Death and anguish, venomous evil Anthropomorphic arachnids kill Swarming the hopeless goblin people Acting out their murderous will “Please!” cry the goblins, maimed and bleeding out The spiders laugh and dip their fangs further in They do not answer what the battle was about They do not steal-- they simply fought to win Cackling-- all the spider-folk Climbing-- o’er the goblin walls Legions-- no one left to fight Ruined-- the goblin halls
2.	Guided to Victory 02:51	lyrics	buy track
You think you’ve crushed us all? That we’re as good as dead? You should not have left me standing This goblin won’t forget Past the corpses of my Kin and friends I march on, and I will Take revenge This slaughter unprovoked Our former friends now foes We’ve battled men before But not the spider-folk I will know the reason For this crime At my hands, the Spider Queen will die Spirits of my fallen kin Cry out within my blade Yearning for the spiders’ blood And blood is what they’ll taste I may fight alone, but there are Voices in my heart Guiding me to victory So singing, I depart I shed a single tear But there’s no time to cry The spider-folk must know The wrath of genocide I will know the reason For this crime At my hands, the Spider Queen will die
3.	The Dragon 04:13	lyrics	buy track
The mountain looms ahead The dragon’s peak of death Guards the way to the caves Where spiders make their nest Do not disturb the beast Cautionary tales of old It makes its grisly feast From the charred remains of the bold Its scales are iron-strong Its tail a mile long When it breathes its fire Pray you’re not within its sight Its teeth are sabre-sharp Tear anything apart Wings that bear it higher And block out all the light Now it rises, soaring through the air Jewels gleam on its crimson hide Roaring as it leaves its lair I look into its eyes Fire burning deep inside Its belly now erupts Scorching through the quaking sky But I will not succumb It circles overhead I raise my voice out loud Beckoning the beast to descend And fight me on the ground It grins like I’m a joke Flies down toward the land Alights in a cloud of smoke Mere feet from where I stand Its nose within an inch But I don’t even flinch Dragons thirst for terror And I’ve nothing left to fear Its malice quickly fades Its foe so strangely brave Its head bows with respect I take my seat behind its ears Now it rises, soaring through the air Jewels gleam on its crimson hide Roaring as it leaves its lair I look into its eyes Fire burning deep inside Its belly now erupts Scorching through the quaking sky My enemies shall succumb Looking down I see the spiders scurry to their caves I invoke the dragon’s wrath and bathe them all in flame Their screams and writhing legs bring laughter to my tongue But though they die, my revenge has just begun
4.	Cave of Spiders 03:48	lyrics	buy track
I tread on spider-flesh The dragon feeds I step into the spider cave The dragon I must leave The darkness swallows me Stalactites drip Cold foreboding Extends its icy grip What’s in the distance? A figure wrapped in white My torch shows its gruesome face Bloodless, without sight I look above me Where dozens more now hang Dead goblins stare at me Ensnared and pierced by fangs
5.	Captured 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Endless patter patter patter They’re coming A million legs and eyes surround They’re coming I cannot escape; too late They’re coming Sword in hand I challenge fate They’re coming Horrid laughter Ever after “Tiny goblin all alone!” They’re laughing “Don’t you know you’re far from home?” They’re laughing “Is that a sword or just a knife?” They’re laughing “Time for us to take your life!” They’re laughing Horrid laughter Ever after “String the goblin up in web Watch it squirm and yell Give our guest a royal welcome To our spider hell Seems its flying steed has gone It has no friends left Cover up its mouth and let it Ponder painful death” “Tiny goblin all alone!” They’re laughing “Don’t you know you’re far from home?” They’re laughing “Cutest thing we’ve ever seen!” They’re laughing “Time for you to meet our queen!” They’re laughing
6.	The Spider Queen 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Night-black carapace Fangs like knives Scary areola Red row of eyes Legs that molest She chitters with sadistic glee Pulls me to her breast Grabs my web, starts unraveling I feel her heart pumping Fangs wet with pleasure Drip on my face Throbbing in my veins “Fight me, goblin Take up your sword You fought this far Take your reward Fight me, goblin I want to see Your best thrust, and You want me” My sword strikes with fury Passionate shriek Pierced by her venom We both bleed Her legs flagellate In and out I lunge Breathing pain and fury Our bodies become one Her flesh tight around me Her insides squeeze Soak me with life Scream with release
7.	Kingdom of Men 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Arms around my spider queen I can’t forget the things I’ve seen Ask her why she razed my home She says that I should know The spiders were so recently Attacked by what was seemingly A goblin bomb that shook their nest I stop her to protest The goblins held no hatred here This reeks of deceit Someone stood to gain from this It wasn’t you; it wasn’t me Men! Men! It was the kingdom of men Dead! Dead! I will have all men dead Spider scouts confirm it all Now men live in the goblin halls Children being used as slaves I howl in my rage My spider queen is swelling up Sacs spew on the floor Children waiting to emerge Dozens now, then dozens more Our children hatch A perfect match Of hybrid parts With spider leg And goblin face They laugh and march Turn from my spawn I look upon My spider wife
8.	Pain & Glory 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Riding on the dragon My spider wife wrapped around me Look down at my home below See our hybrid army surrounding Men run screaming out From the homes the cowards stole Now they suffer vengeance at the fangs Of my goblin-spider children’s mandibles The pain of glory warms my soul Like a gory theatre show Splattered corpses on the streets A platter for my progeny My enemies cannot escape My dragon-steed patrols the gates Humans eaten roasted or raw Eradicate them all The cowards raise their hands in the air I stare at them and laugh in their face If mercy’s what they hope to receive I’ll return the mercy they gave to my race The pain of glory warms my soul Like a gory theatre show Corpses splattered on the streets A platter for my progeny My enemies cannot escape My dragon-steed patrols the gates Humans eaten roasted or raw I kiss my wife’s maw
