Quest For The Manticore Songtext / Lyric

Look up

What does my lantern light?

A mythical beast takes flight

And flies overhead



And strikes with the head of a lion

Wings of a bird

Tail of a stinging scorpion scourge



Let's go seek the creature

Of legend and lore

Taking our bows on a quest for the manticore



It haunts the night, stalking, preying on the skies

Killing again, it's time to hunt and slay the beast



Why do your bravest soldiers

Join you on your quest

A company of might and magic equal to the test

Defend with all your skill, leave all your doubts behind

No one shortsword could be enough to kill the manticore






Slay the fearsome beast, the manticore

Or you will rest in peace, the manticore

Paralyze you cold, the manticore

A power to behold, the manticore



The beast, it hunts, for meat, preying on human death



On its trail

Will you strike

Do you dare?



A demon that kills in the night devouring flesh



Into the horror's lair

Devoid of all things light

Stalking you from the darkness with the clearest sight

One swift violent motion

Stinger in your eye

Poisons coursing through, freezing up your mind



Body's growing cold, the manticore

You will die alone, the manticore

It ate your friends alive, the manticore

You're the last to kill, the manticore



Cold, the creature will eat you alive

Before the reaper closes your eyes

Tearing the skin from your back

Relentless in attack

Your last effort strength and home

Magic dagger in its throat

Blood running into your mouth

Choking on its pain



When they find you

They won't know you rose to stand and heed the call!
