Lyrics Manilla Road

Manilla Road

Hermitage

To guard the bastard son

That someday could be king

The Elliott reiver clans

Were charged with the bidding

And as the tale is told

This monster grew with age

Torturing flesh and soul

Inside the Hermitage

The spirits stir again

In ruins still it stands

The keep of doom

The Hermitage

The Lord of Liddlesdale

De Soulis be the name

Whose grim debauchery

Had earned a tyrant's fame

A soulless pedophile

Who wanted to be thane

Who left a wake of death

Behind his bloody reign

The spirits stir again

In ruins still it stands

The keep of doom

The Hermitage

I felt the energy

And stood within its walls

I've seen the grey pale light

Inside the ancient halls

I've seen the pit of doom

The dungeon of despair

And felt the breath of hell

Within the tyrant's lair

The spirits stir again

In ruins still it stands

The keep of doom

The Hermitage

His body boiled alive

Inside a vat of lead

His ghost still haunts the keep

His spirit trapped in death

The spirits stir again

In ruins still it stands

The keep of doom

The Hermitage.
