Droch Loch

A song lyric for Tendonitis inspired by Scotland

verse I
vengeful spirit
hungry sprite
waiting watching
drag and bite
pretty vision
what a sight
lures you in and
glues you tight

verse II
the spirit will get you
a vision so pure
it beckons with pleasure
it’s beauty the lure

prechorus
near the river
near the loch
it’s beauty like a sirens call

chorus
shape shifter, water drifter
guard your bridle well
soul taker, bone breaker
lest serve me you shall

verse III
angry phantom
hateful ghost
near the water
near the coast
looking like a
graceful host
guard your mind or
you’ll be toast

verse IV
the evil it want’s you
it’s hunger so great
and once under water
a seal’s on you fate

prechorus
near the river
near the loch
it’s beauty like a sirens call

chorus
shape shifter, water drifter
guard your bridle well
soul taker, bone breaker
lest serve me you shall

verse V
evil creature
in the night
image of a
shining knight
pulls you under
stop your fight
rips you downward
out of sight
when you see the
fading light
your soul will drown in
dreadful fright

prechorus
near the river
near the loch
it’s beauty like a sirens call

chorus
shape shifter, water drifter
guard your bridle well
soul taker, bone breaker
lest serve me you shall

The Great Unknown

Songtext for Tendonitis

Verse I
I don’t know what you think we do
I don’t think you see what is going on
You see me and I see you too
But I see right through you I’m moving on

Verse II
I never knew what I could do
And I felt so relieved it can’t be wrong
All the lies they tell are true
And once you know it hits you all night long

Refrain
Answers without heed
Can only lead to woe
Follow where I lead
It’s where you need to go

Verse III
Your tinfoil hat will tell it true
And you just can’t decide which way to turn
I know what you will say and do
Your consequential action’s no concern

Breakdown
You’ll never see me coming
I will take it all
My control is ever growing
Understanding large to small

Refrain
Answers without heed
Can only lead to woe
Follow where I lead
It’s where you need to go

The Reckoning

Songtext for Tendonitis

verse I
I am your horror
in shadow I stride
dread be my father
and panic my bride
your fear I can smell it
it tickles my soul
revenge at long last
I am close to my goal

chorus
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
torment and suffering come
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
death – sweet kiss of a gun

verse II
watching my prey
and enjoying the sight
all the while sharpening
and honing my bite
patiently waiting
to witness despair
my retribution
your blood we will share

chorus
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
torment and suffering come
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
death – sweet kiss of a gun

bridge
you shall beg for your demise
and suffer till you’ve payed my prize
I will end you when I tell
you to go and burn in hell

verse III
tearing your flesh to
delight in your pain
never too much thus
prolonging my gain
eyes flicker wildly the
fire is gone
your soul is mine
and you – you’re done

chorus
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
torment and suffering come
seek you – nowhere to hide now
find you – and nowhere to run
bind you – no salvation
death – sweet kiss of a gun

Eight-fold Path

Songtext for Tendonitis

intro
down in the abyss of my heart
eternal duty claws apart
my being

darkness is strong within my soul
always the battle for control

there’s no relenting no retreat
no hope for truce and no defeat
two sides are one and yet not whole
witness the battle for control

chorus
the eight-fold path
strive to achieve
the tears of things
hope to relieve

bridge
must not falter
not give in
karmic respite
past live’s sin
endless circle
loop and repeat
heathen in hell
no way to cheat

interlude
don’t deny my right to be
darkness is a part of me
for as long as light shines free
shadows bloom eternally

bridge
must not falter
not give in
karmic respite
past live’s sin
endless circle
loop and repeat
heathen in hell

Bellum, Parabellum

Songtext for Tendonitis.
Shoutout to soon to be bestselling author Seth Jenkins for proof reading.

verse I
muster the troops for war for
this time we’ll end it all
to victory my faithful friends
that’s not how this story ends
condition their minds to mush
believe in the burning bush
march onward to victory
for everyone out there shall see

bridge
si vis pacem
parabellum

verse II
fighting for the Motherland
to seize all that we can
destroying our enemy
every chance that we can see
pillaging their houses and
defiling their spouses to see
them in wicked agony
thriving on their misery

chorus
orders received
stop their advances
artillery Siege
no second chances
down in the mud
down in the trenches
drowning in blood
withering senseless

bridge
si vis pacem
parabellum

verse III
the ditches are filled with blood
the vengeance gone with the flood
resistance was met in vain
and all that stays is grief and pain
gravestones in the morning mist while
all the women go unkissed
forgiven you can be in hell
no one can break this satan’s spell

chorus
orders received
stop their advances
artillery Siege
no second chances
down in the mud
down in the trenches
drowning in blood
withering senseless

outro
he who declares war
does not perish in the commotion

Ballad of the Need

Ballad of the Need

Songtext für Tendonitis – Ballad of the Need

verse I
passion and compassion, selfless need
center of the world, in your sleep
wanted, needed, found, claimed and kept
used and broken heavy regret

bridge I
can you feel the need
filling all your nodes
can you feel the leech
feeding off your soul

chorus
your spirit gets emptied, day by day
less and less of you to stay
your soul dries out
out of the way
less and less of you to stay

alternate chorus (dropped)
darling, darling, baby don’t despair
possibilities everywhere
darling, darling, baby don’t deny
my love for you will never die

verse II
mindless thought adrift, and hard to find
everyone around you is blind
laughter in the air, brimming with need
filling every edge of your soul

bridge II
can you feel the burn
leaving you behind
every one around you
is blind

chorus
your spirit gets emptied, day by day
less and less of you to stay
your soul dries out, out of the way
less and less of you to stay

Stormreaper

verse I
proud eagle fly’s with falsened flag
he’s ruling like a king
the phoenician princess lies idly by
and spreads her legs for him

her children, crying in despair
are still forced to obey
their granary shows threatening tilt
they don’t know what else to do or say

a great revolution is ready to sprout
it’s coming soon, there is no doubt
justice is calling, is taking it’s route

verse III
they poke the great bear with a stick
until he won’t take it no more
and lashes out in anger with
his mighty prank for nuclear war

phoenician whore been bought with ease
who pays the piper calls the tune
and reaching out in all their greed
they ride us blindly to our doom

it’s coming soon, it’s almost about
a great revolution is ready to sprout
it’s coming soon, there is no doubt
justice is calling, is taking it’s route

they who sow wind
shall reap the whirlwind
they who sow wind
shall reap the storm

it’s coming soon, it’s almost about
a great revolution is ready to sprout

justice is calling, is taking it’s route

they who sow wind
shall reap the whirlwind
they who sow wind
shall reap the storm

Ship of Fools

spin the wheel of fortune calling
out your dreams for all to hear

spinning out of your control

Tendonitis

Clandestine

Songtext für Tendonitis – Clandestine

introverse I
burning legion in disguise
hiding in plain sight
they know that you are powerless
they know about your darkest secrets

verse I
they find you when you’re hidden
they sell your dreams before you know
they vanquish without touch
they close the collar more and more

verse II
they poison all your rivers
your forests fall to their demands
they’re showing no regret
their master-plan it knows no end

chorus
come and catch us, come along
come and find us, all you know is wrong

introverse II
money, information, power
controlled by far to few
give bread and games to the people
divide, conquer and rule

verse III
they feed you sweet, sweet venom
it tastes so good in it’s disguise
this fucking drug addiction
your barren offspring pays the price

verse IV
they turn you into puppets
they wash your brain with every breath
they kill your love with greed
and drench your soul in fears of death

chorus
come and catch us, come along
come and find us, all you know is wrong

interlude
make yourself free
free of the fear
free of the pain
free of their lies

make yourself free
free of the greed
free of the need
free of their lies

chorus
come and catch us, come along
come and find us, all you know is wrong
