Published on Oct 17, 2014. Beard The Lion's single ‘Harbinger' off the debut EP “Out of the Eater, Something to Eat".

Lyrics:
I don’t belong, I’m a different breed.
Without a doubt, I was born to leave.
I’m not alarmed, but I know you are.
I’m not at all who you think I am.
I’m not afraid, I’m a lion of a Lamb.
I wear the red just to draw you in.
Watch the skyline, watch the skyline for the son.
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!
We are dust of the nations.
We are here but we’re not home.
We are just passing through.
We are marked by the maker.
We are numbered, named, and known.
We are not alone.
Watch the skyline, watch the skyline for the son.
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!
Burning horses are harbingers of a chariot that harbors our King of Zion.
Watch the sky, watch the skyline for the son!
Come down holy dread! Descend on the nations!
Watch the skyline, watch the skyline for the son.
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!
Swing low, swing low my chariot!
Come forth, come forth, carry me home!

Harbinger

Published on Sep 5, 2015. Beard The Lion's single ‘Havoc' off the debut EP “Out of the Eater, Something to Eat".

Lyrics:
I’ll take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
My reputation precedes me,
I’m not well known for turning the other cheek,
I fight fire with fire, and I fuel it with gasoline!

Fire in my eyes, blood on my hands,
I fight like hell and I always win,
Debris will scatter like embers on a fire,

Whatever I touch, burns to the ground,
Whoever I love, bleeds for the sake of me,
I am my own worst enemy,
but I can’t stop until my foes bleed like I bleed,
Three hundred jackals tied tail to tail,
Light them on fire and burn this place to hell,
I fight fire with fire, and I fuel it with gasoline!

Fire in my eyes, blood on my hands,
I fight like hell and I always win,
Debris will scatter like embers on a fire.
Fire in my eyes, blood on my hands,
I fight like hell 'til the bitter end,
Debris will scatter like embers on a fire.

I’ve burned every bridge I’ve crossed,
And I’ve paved every road in blood!

There’s a tower in the East and a tower in the West,
With one hand on each and with what strength I have left,
I’ll tear the structure out, between the North and the South!

Havoc, cry havoc, fight fire with fire,
And chaos with chaos, Let slip the dogs of war!

Havoc

Published on May 13, 2016. Beard The Lion's song ‘Craters' off the debut EP “Out of the Eater, Something to Eat".

Lyrics:
There’s a mountain staring me down, and it bellows from the depths of the earth.
While the cowards all prove their worth; ghosts will emerge, ghosts will emerge!
Our battle lines cannot hold the devil at bay anymore.
Forty long nights, the juggernaut has been a haunting sight.
Forty long days, the juggernaut has been a blood red sea.
Overshadow us in the blanket of your ghost! Overshadow us in the name of…
Overshadow us in the blood of Jesus! Overshadow us in the name of…
Mountains like craters fall in the name of one, by one, we will level the face, level the face of the earth.
We will douse this giant in water and cry to the heavens for fire!
Atop your grave we’ll build us a kingdom, and now your just one of ten thousand!
Mighty Mountains are falling, are falling down. Giant alters are burning, burn to the ground!
Royal rulers offer their crowns. So meet your maker and bow down!
Mountains like craters fall in the name of one, by one, we will level the face, level the face of the earth.
And now you’ll know where to find us, just follow the trail of the craters!
One by one (one by one), we’re making craters (we’re making craters), craters.

Craters

Published on May 13, 2016. Beard The Lion's song ‘Treason' off the debut EP “Out of the Eater, Something to Eat".

Lyrics:
They mean to have me buried between the lion and his wicked teeth!
Who thought that I, I could last all night? My bones are shaking with fright.
Look alive (apparitions thought) gentlemen, (ghost be us all) rumor has it (pass the rumor along) we're apparitions.
Staple their mouths shut, 'cause I'm here all night, and my God willing I'll see you on the flip side!
Though this may kill me, yeah, I will not halt. Until my final breath, I will carry on!
I feel their evil eyes staring at me. I’m watching for a flash, a flash of teeth!
I’m at loss and at the mercy of God! Deliver me or I’ll be devoured.
Don’t bother me about loyalty. Heaven knows I’ve been faithful and true.
Don’t bother me! Don’t bother me! Don’t bother me with your wicked, wicked teeth!
At the sound of my voice you turn white as a sheet and the chills run up your spine.
You shouldn’t have buried me alive, no. Go ahead, cry wolf for the last time.
You won’t pull the wool over their eyes. They’ll dig me up and find you out soon enough.
Back stabbing liars, I’m not going down like this! Don’t even bother us with your crooked tongue!
Back stabbing liars, I won’t be caught dead yet! All that about being ghost, rumors and nothing else!
Look alive (apparitions thought) gentlemen, (ghost be us all) rumor has it (pass the rumor along) we're apparitions.
Staple their mouths shut, 'cause I'm here all night, and my God willing I'll see you on the flip side!

Treason

Published on May 13, 2016. Beard The Lion's song ‘Silver Tongue' off the debut EP “Out of the Eater, Something to Eat".

Lyrics:
Our lust, served up, upon a silver spoon; every guilty pleasure, dancing to her tune!
She breeds deceit, deception on a string; sowing every seed, with every single note she sings!
Do you not believe in sirens? Do you not believe in sirens?
Blood sucking leech, she feasts and feasts; she baits the hook with every note she sings.
Blood thirsty leech, she sings and sings; she pulls us in like puppets on a string!
Our ears, oh yes, hear something sweet; out of the eater, something to eat!
Our eyes, oh my, oh they betray us; blinded by smoke and mirrors!
She sees the greed of all man-kind!
Do you not believe in sirens? Do you not believe in sirens?
Bloodsucker! Bloodsucker! Bloodsucking leech!
Legions of men, sea-faring men already met their end, by her hand!
Her song on the wind, angelic but grim, luring us in, she lures us in!
Seek first the truth and you shall find, watch the scales fall from your eyes.
I saw deceit unravel at the seams and made my escape…by the skin of my teeth!
Now you know when you hear the siren sing, it’s your warning, warning signal!
Oh no, oh no, she’s not what she seems, shape shifting, blood sucking leech!
Oh no, oh no, she’s not what she seems, shape shifting, singing, blood sucking leech!
