Lyrics 3 Inches of Blood

3 Inches of Blood

Premonition of Pain

Awoken by the terror of a thousand wars

A vision of the coming invading force

With haste he goes to the royal hall

The soothsayer alerts the king, the hour is night

The king scoffs, says no, he does not believe

You must be in error, you must be deceived

My lord, they're coming, your people aren't safe

Upon deaf ears fall words of fate

I hold the key to what lies beyond

You won't believe what this crystal orb does show

And in his dreams he saw

Brick by brick... behold

Stone by stone... our fate

Wall by wall

This castle is set to burn

When the soothsayer's riddle is spoken, beware of the answers it holds

I hold the key to what lies beyond

When the soothsayer's words make you question, the price will be paid in blood

You won't believe what this crystal orb does show

With no more than a reason to kill

The enemy's approaching from surrounding sides

Awaiting for the first strike as catapults are drawn

Flaming arrows form the sky. The massacre begins

Order turns to chaos, no hope to win

The tyrant is here to take up your throne

He'll take off you head before taking your crown

The mystic, he laughs, you should have listened to me

But now you beg for you life on your knees

On your knees

On your knees

When the soothsayer's riddle is spoken, it could hold the outcome of war

I hold the key to what lies beyond

When the soothsayer's words speak of bloodshed, just pray that the blood is not yours

You won't believe

The price paid in blood

The price paid in blood

Just pray that the blood is not yours
