lyrics

Running for life and freedom
Gain distance with each step
I must elude my captors
And their plans forced on me
Taken from home and loved ones
Transformed to a war machine
I want to see my family
And tribe to be left in peace

I hear the iron bird coming
Eyes of light are searching for me
I duck away in the shadows
Can’t be what they want me to be

My steps are getting larger
The briars tear my skin
Using my key advantage
I know these woods so well
Gain distance from my bastards
Who mutilated me
Warped, molested, and conditioned
To meet their fighting needs

I’m huddled down in a cave
The iron birds have passed me by
Heading to the woods where I was raised
Moving towards the fire light
My brothers and sisters
It’s great to see your faces
No time for conversation
Nor time for your embraces
There is and evil horde about
And it hounds my every move
We could stand and fight them
But I assure you friends, we’ll lose
Be purposed for their wars
So they perverted me
Snatched from my home
Invaded by technology
They are on their way
They will do the same to you
So grab you kin and scatted
Seconds are all too few

The fog… Brothers and sisters are falling
Sleeping… Iron bird carriage eternal
The fog… Iron wings lovingly hold me
Cocoon… The fog has shrouded my mind

The Cryptid and the Iron Bird
The Cryptid and the Iron Bird

With an assortment of original songs in their repertoire that showcase the vast array of influence the band pulls from and a fearlessness to never conform or compromise, Gravehuffer is in it for the sake of the song. ... more
