about

This song is inspired by the PS3 video game Bloodborne. It's essentially an overview of the story of the game (As we perceive it, anyway) from the point of view of Laurence, the First Vicar. Enjoy the brief Blue Oyster Cult reference in it!

lyrics

Solo: Hufham

It seems almost too long ago now
That we delved into Pthumeru
If we knew then what we know now
A forgotten descent
To escape
The blood moon

A discovery of blood
The evolution of mankind
A healing church is begun
Heal the sick, beware the beast

Fear the old blood
It's what he said to me
Fear the old blood
Now I'm just a burning beast

But the work we've done cannot be in vain
The cosmos are so close
A paleblood sky, we must beckon the moonlight
The great ones reveal themselves to those with insight

Harvesters of eyes
The hunt becomes genocide
Our original sin
So be it, let our ascent begin

Fear the old blood
It's what he said to me
Fear the old blood
Now I'm just a burning beast

And now I sit upon a burning throne in nightmares
Await the hunter sane enough to finish me
The time has come for axe, for whip, for sword, for sickle
I couldn't release the queen from her misery

Solo: Millard
Solo: Darden

Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood
Fear the old blood, fear the old blood
