lyrics

TOMB OF THE LIZARD KING

Sakatha was a great lizard king
said to have powers stored in a ring
over swamp lands and plains lands
his minions, they spread
his very name filled all creatures with dread

To build his great tomb in the marsh,
many men died of slavery most harsh
his minions took all of our best for his altar
not for one moment did his bloody thirst falter

Deep in the ground,
He awaits...
to dine on human flesh
your pitiful group will be impaled
on stakes and disemboweled

His majesty steps forth
grips your heart in bloodied fist
your life snuffed out

and then there came the Great Count of Eyor
the greatest of heroes in those days of yore
he slew Sakatha at the battle of Wycombe
the lizard men carried their slaughtered chief home

and now he awaits in the cold sleep of death
his day of awakening, his first newborn breath
though deep in the ground his followers closed him,
he'll come back for vengeance
on those who opposed him
