Shadow Gallery - Venom lyrics

rate me

It was a cold night<br />

But by the dawn's light<br />

The city streets began to swell and crawl<br />

I emerge then<br />

From the alley<br />

The tempest spirit now in my sight<br />

Well I have seen you<br />

You walk the wire<br />

Oh yes I know you very well<br />

You've got place in the Hamptons<br />

Jet off to London<br />

The threads are Italian<br />

How very expensive<br />

<br />

But oh you wear them well<br />

As you serpentine<br />

<br />

I am the bringer of the rain<br />

And the foreteller of the pain<br />

The end of days is near at hand<br />

When God returns your just reward<br />

Gets paid in Venom<br />

<br />

[Guitar Solo - Brendt]<br />

<br />

I will be with the others<br />

When the day breaks<br />

As the earth shakes<br />

I will be with the numbers<br />

When the earth breaks<br />

Open for you<br />

<br />

"Oh you kill me well it's quite amusing<br />

I am drawn to your strength yeah you really believe<br />

All the churning and discerning anger hatred and resentment<br />

Bet you've gone catatonic yeah right on over the edge"<br />

<br />

[Guitar solo - Brendt]<br />

<br />

And the greed of hell<br />

Burns like gasoline<br />

<br />

No ransom for your petty soul<br />

I wipe your ashes from your gold<br />

The end of days is near at hand<br />

When all that was becomes a vapor<br />

Slain by Venom<br />

<br />

I wrap a curse around your throat<br />

God's wrath reserved through time for you<br />

"How dare you proselytize me<br />

I run the show you fool"<br />

Damnation<br />

"Hell hath no fury"<br />

Completely blind<br />

"I ride the golden rail"<br />

Vengeance<br />

"From where?"<br />

Vengeance<br />

"I wait"<br />

And so you ask and shall receive<br />

<br />

Vengeance upon all evil men<br />

Your time has come<br />

All will repent<br />

<br />

[Guitar Solo - Brendt]<br />

<br />

All the riches all the gold<br />

"Why so bitter mortal man?"<br />

Gain the world loose your soul<br />

"I am lion you are lamb"<br />

Stallions from the sky<br />

Hellfire rain and demons fly<br />

From those of us sent here<br />

To kill your false religion now<br />

All the riches all the gold<br />

"Into the wasteland of my life"<br />

All the riches all the gold<br />

"I lie in waiting here"<br />

Day turn endless night<br />

Burned alive and scream<br />

The end of days you're all alone<br />

When Jesus mighty from his throne<br />

Drowns you in Venom<br />

<br />

[Harmony guitar solo - Brendt]<br />
