THE CLAYMORE LYRICS

1. Ashes Of The Wicked

This is a story of unholy witchcraft
Superstition was wasting my life
I was born in the year of the black crow
When the witches were haunting the land

Take them to the point of no return
Bleeding out their lives in no man’s land

Hear the calling out
Hear the screaming
Alone in the darkness
Awaiting for the end
Hear them calling God
Hear them screaming
Witches are dying
The funeral curse

See the crowd on the foot of the ghost hell
Seven women were caught by the law
Inquisition was raging in darkness
Eye to eye with the nature of death
In the light of the moon
A celebration of unholy madness
See the pain in their eyes
I’m a witness of torture and lies

Take them to the point of no return
Bleeding out their lives in no man’s land

Hear the calling out
Hear the screaming
Alone in the darkness
Awaiting for the end
Hear them calling God
Hear them screaming
Witches are dying
The funeral curse

2. Oceans

Voices of sirens, they are calling him home
He is an old man and he’s breaking the waves
Feeling the breeze of Mother Nature inside
Now he is here to find the sense of it all

Just like a pilgrim, he is searching for god
Touching the surface with his wounded, cold hands
Remember him, breathing the storm
Blessing of time is coming

Old man
“Deep in the sea, I’ll find my peace
I feel the freedom and I’m on my own way
To reach the holy shore
I’ll throw my sins into the sea
And no one sees what I have seen
This is my aim
To feel the freedom and the harmony”

Watching the water in the light of the moon
He’s navigating through the storms
Reaching the shore, the foreign land
Touch of a new dimension

Old man
“Deep in the sea, I’ll find my peace
I feel the freedom and I’m on my own way
To reach the holy shore
I’ll throw my sins into the sea
And no one sees what I have seen
This is my aim
To feel the freedom and the harmony”

3. Behind Enemy Lines

I’m out here in the jungle
My mind is full of fear
Surrounded by destruction
Me nemesis is near

Stumbling over black bones
Of creatures in the night
Pounding heart is running
I’m ready for the fight

You can’t see what I can see
Imprisoned by insanity

Take me home
Back to sweet solution
To my destiny

Take me home
Back where I can breathe
To my own eternity

See the napalm’s burning bright
Like stardust in the darkened night
The screaming of my comrades raging in my ears
The madness is till haunting I’m crying bloody tears

Take me home
Back to sweet solution
To my destiny

Take me home
Back where I can breathe
To my own eternity

Tomorrow I can breathe!

You can’t see what I can see
Imprisoned by insanity

Take me home
Back to sweet solution
To my destiny

Take me home
Back where I can breathe
To my own eternity

4. Damnation Reigns

Sinner
Feel the pain that you left here
Somewhere
I can see you praying in the dark

Falling in shadows
Hold on to the truth
Falling in shadows
Welcome to your dream
Damnation reigns

Falling in shadows
Nailed upon the cross of lies
Falling in shadows
Now your life is gone, no compromise

Sunrise
It’s just a word for you, my friend
Darkness
It’s ruling all your life
You’re torn inside

Falling in shadows
Hold on to the truth
Falling in shadows
Welcome to your dream
Damnation reigns

Falling in shadows
Nailed upon the cross of lies
Falling in shadows
Now your life is gone, no compromise

5. Frozen Voices

[Instrumental]

6. Return To Zero

I’m losing you
I hear your voice still in my mind
You’ve never told me why you are so cruel
I’m missing you
And all my tears are falling down
Crying out your name, can’t find your trace

But I keep on searching
See you in the cold rain

Return to zero
When the world is falling down again
I’m by your side
Return to zero
It’s the beginning of another day
And I will make it right

Drowning in silence
I find you sitting in the park
Holding my last letter in your hands
I’m calling you
But you cannot hear my voice now
‘Cause I am a ghost, I’m dead and gone

And I will protect you
See you in the cold rain

Return to zero
When the world is falling down again
I’m by your side
Return to zero
It’s the beginning of another day
And I will make it right

7. Silent Scorn

You can’t deny what you’ve done
Never ending scorn
Brutality comes closer
And your web of lies is torn

I’m out of sight so you can’t
See me from afar
Watching you in silence
While you’re losing your own war

In the darkness, in the night
I’m looking for you, a soundless night
In the edge of reality and dreams
I’m waiting in the silence of cruel insanity

Hey, can you hear me?!
In disguise you see me smiling
Hey, I wait for an answer!
I am here to take revenge on you

My tortured soul is crying out your name
So feel my bullets deep in your frozen veins

Hey, can you hear me?!
In disguise you see me smiling
Hey, I wait for an answer!
I am here to take revenge on you

8. Children Of The Nile

The high priest came to turn the wheels of time
Enchanted minds, they drank the poisoned wine
Trapped inside the labyrinth of lies
Hypnotized by gods who reigned their lives

There it comes, the blackened horizon
Osiris, Bringer of Fate
Here it comes, the blackened horizon
Cryptic prophecy, their seeds of hate

Children of the Nile
Demonized to live forever
Hail to Isis
The immortal kingdom
Children of the Nile
Demonized to live forever
Hail to Isis
Wheel of their hypocrisy

The tomb of life was opened for their king
To the other side, the victims followed him
In the night before he kissed the hand of death
The river turned red in the night of dead

There it comes, the blackened horizon
Osiris, Bringer of Fate
Here it comes, the blackened horizon
Cryptic prophecy, their seeds of hate

Children of the Nile
Demonized to live forever
Hail to Isis
The immortal kingdom
Children of the Nile
Demonized forever

9. Oblivion

There’s a light upon my crying mind
This darkened shine is guiding me
In my heart there is no place for love
Hear me screaming in the falling rain tonight

I am cursed to die

Shine
Hold on the light
We’re cursed with oblivion
I see the glance into your heart
Remember me

In the darkness of a lonely night
I am trapped inside my cruelty
But I hope there is a chance for me
To live all my dreams
And to change the world for you

I am here to stay

Shine
Hold on the light
We’re cursed with oblivion
I see the glance into your heart
Remember me

10. (E)scapegoat

You’ll never feel my silence
You’ll never feel my rage
You’ll try to bind my soul in a web of promises
Pain, never-ending pain
See this bloodshot eye is moving
Behind the walls of sleep

Wake me up
Tell me it’s just a dream
I’m a slave to the grind

Hate, you teach me how to hate
Now I am the slave in the system you create
Rise, rise up and fall, a tale of wrong or right
Sleeping eyes are open to fulfill you killing dreams

Help me find my way
In this time of great illusions

My life is full of misery
Come to me and you will see
My life is full of agony
Scapegoat of society

I, I will tell them lies
Lies to satisfy
Beggar of true mercy
In a storm of cruelty

Wake me up
Tell me it’s just a dream
I’m a slave to the grind

My life is full of misery
Come to me and you will see
My life is full of agony
Scapegoat of society

11. As Twilight Falls

I am proud to stand here on the highest mountain
Hangin’ in the web of time
Blowing winds, take my thoughts to new horizons
Journey to the unknown fields

Stand alone, in the twilight waiting
Here I am, watching you with eyes without a heart

Somewhere in this world we’ll meet again

Falling leaves are covering the dying mankind
I am here to see them fall
Feel my words, written in my holy diary
Words of death and misery

Stand alone, in the twilight waiting
Here I am, watching you with eyes without a heart

Stand alone, in the twilight waiting
Still I am, watching you with eyes without a heart

Somewhere in this world we’ll meet again

12. Chainsaw Charlie

[Bonus Track]
[originally by W.A.S.P.]

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
O.K. boy now here's your deal
Will you gamble your life?
Sign right here on the dotted line
It's the one you've waited for all of your life

[Jonathon to Charlie:]
Ah - will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave

[Jonathon:]
Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
See old Charlie and the platinum armys
Making me their boy
Murders, murders in the new morgue
Murders, murders in the new morgue
He'll make ya scream for the cash machine
Down in Chainsaw Charlie's morgue

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
We'll sell your flesh by the pound you'll go
A whore of wrath just like me
We'll sell ya wholesale, we'll sell your soul
Strap on your six string and feed our machine

[Jonathon to Charlie:]
Ah - will it feed my hunger
If I swallow lies right down my throat?
Or will it choke me till I'm raw?
And tomorrow when I'm gone
Will they whore my image on?
I'll will my throne away, to a virgin heir and Charlie's slave

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
Welcome to the morgue boy
Where the music comes to die
Welcome to the morgue son
I'll cut your throat just to stay alive
Ah, trust me boy
I won't steer you wrong
If you trust me son
You won't last very long

[Charlie to Jonathon:]
I'm the president of showbiz, my name is Charlie
I'm a cock sucking asshole, that's what they call me
Here from my Hollywood tower I rule
I'm lying motherfucker, the chainsaw's my tool
The new morgue's our factory, to grease our lies
Our machine is hungry, it needs your life
Don't mind the faggots, and the ruthless scum
Before we're done, son we'll make you one
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, But I'll make you a star
I'm the tin man, I've never had a heart
I'm the tin man, but I'll make me the star
