The Obscure Little World of Bert

Wraith out of hell


(Bat out of hell by Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf)

(Based on Raziel from the Leagcy of Kain games)

Mortals are screaming and the Shua are howling,
We're down at the pillers tonight,
There's a man in the shadows with a sword in his hand,
And a blade glowing oh so bright,
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky,
As he growls through his blood stained teeth,
Oh and down in the tunnel where the dead are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young man,
Down in the gutter,
He was starting to transform in the heat,

Oh there's no little thing in this whole damned world,
that's pure and good and right,
And whatever you are and wherever you go,
There's always something not quite right,
But I gotta say it now,
I gotta break these chains now,
Before that final crack of bones,
So I gotta make the most of our short time together,
When it's over I know,
I'll be out there all alone,

Like a Wraith out of hell,
I'll be back before the morning comes,
When this night is over,
Like a Wraith out of hell I'll be strong strong strong,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
I'll be back before the morning comes,
So when the day is done,
And the sun goes down,
And the Vamps start coming to,
Then like a sinner before the gates of evil,
My final vengance will come for you,

I'm gonna hit Nosgoth just like a battering ram,
With wings now ill equipped for flight,
When the Blade is hot and the Reaver is hungry,
And then they'll finally get to see the light,
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,
Everything is corrupted and lost,
And nothing really lives,
And nothing really dies,
And anything of worth is lost,
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out,
And maybe I'm damned if I do,
But with every other soul we got left to consume,
You know I'd rather be damned with you,
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
Running through the night with you,
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned,
Running through the night,
Running through the night,
Running through the night with you,

Oh there's no little thing,
in this whole dammed world,
That's pure and good and right,
And whatever you are and wherever you go,
There's always something not quite right,
But I gotta say it now,
I gotta break these chains now,
Before that final crack of bones,
So I gotta make the most of our short time together,
When it's over I know,
I'll be out there all alone,

Like a Wraith out of hell,
I'll be back before the morning comes,
When this night is over,
Like a Wraith out of hell I'll be strong strong strong,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
I'll be back before the morning comes,
So when the day is done,
And the sun goes down,
And the Vamps start comming to,
Then like a sinner before the gates of evil,
My final vengance will come for you,

Then like a sinner before the gates of evil,
My final vengance will come for you

I can see myself falling down the cliff,
Faster than any Vampire has ever gone,
And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe,
and My wings can't even help me now,
I gotta make my escape,
But I can't stop screaming, it's true,
And I never see the sudden ledge until it's way too late

I never see the sudden ledge till it's way too late

Then I'm burning at the bottom of the Abyss in the blazing sun,
Torn and twisted in the pit of a holy lake,
And I think somebody somewhere must be laughing in hell,
And the last thing I see are my wings,
Still beating,
Breaking away from my body,
And falling away,
Like a Wraith out of hell,

Then I'm burning at the bottom of the Abyss in the blazing sun,
Torn and twisted in the pit of a holy lake,
And I think somebody somewhere must be laughing in hell,
And the last thing I see are my wings,
Still beating,
Still beating,
Breaking away from my body,
And falling away,
Like a Wraith out of hell,

Like a Wraith out of hell,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
Like a Wraith out of hell,
