Utterly splendid my dear chap - and such a relief that the truth is out at last.  Complete bugger that he died - we could do with him on HS2.  Wonderful strident baritones!

I've not checked in for a while.  Really love this, great sound, great track and great story telling :)

Added to my September 2021 Freak Radio playlist

what a lad, this mr brunel, hunting the undead, til theyre dead!

Wonderful storytelling. Love the "simplicity" of the piano accompaniment and sublime strings

Cheers to mr Brunel. a dedicated individual!!

Mr Brunel was a clever chap
Making his bridges and steamships and that
In a journal made by his wife 
We found he was living a double life

Mr. Brunel Hunted the restless undead
Mr. Brunel Shot the demons in the head

While building under the river thames
He discovered an enclave of vile half men
Cocking his steam powered gun
He blasted the devils before they could run

Mr. Brunel Hunted the restless undead
Mr. Brunel Shot the demons in the head


Brunel died 1843
It's commonly said it was brights disease
The truth of the matter is plain to see
He was killed in a battle with necromancy

Mr. Brunel Hunted the restless undead
Mr. Brunel Shot the demons in the head

War in Jalrune

Pigs of Legion

I’ve sailed the seven seas, 
I’ve searched the skies above,
I’ve shed my blood and tears,
Cause nothing comes without a price

From rotten roots it springs
In veiled despair it dwells
From withered flesh it nurtures 
Seeds of corruption and wicked lies

O Idiot Blind God,
What future do you see
Don’t hide behind the mask
Of benevolence, it never fooled me

What has no beginning nor end
Cannot truly be understood
A creation as flawed and obscene 
Must be extinguished, burnt down to its roots.

Burn it down to the roots.

Lost in the seven seas,
I prayed to the skies above,
For a light to guide my spirit 
I sacrificed all, for that was the price

Where nothing’s meant to remain
Desolation welcomes me home
As flesh heals, I become like thee
Ignorant, silent, and alone.

Seven Seas

Träume Sind Schäume

Just one phrase of bass may remind you of one famous legendary song, but it’s just your assumption!

Don’t say it’s Monday

Lyrics:

Part I
There is a minotaur,
Locked inside my head,
He wanders around my secret passageways.

No land,
No hint, 
Just a thread in my hand, 
Inside this Labyrinth.

A shadow crosses my sight, 
Where the branches break.
Then I found those crippling eyes,
It will keep me awake.

No land, 
No hint, 
Just a thread in my hand, 
Inside this Labyrinth.

Part II
Out in the darkness
He's waiting for a mistake,
I can't outrun this madness,
I have no escape.

Out in the darkness
They smell the blood of the prey,
Until the day of the heartless,
The Grave of betrayal.

Part III
When the night comes to you in a mirror,
Look around for the stone, 
You will find my name.
You will find my name.

Here 's your soul,
I give you freedom,
In the dawn,
You will find my name.
Find my name.

Part IV
No land,
No pain,
No blood in vain.

Part V
There’s was a minotaur,
Living in my head,
Sometimes I hear his ax swinging ,
But I don’t really care.
