Strike the Earth - Booze Control

I set out with a party of seven

All eager to honour their vow

We ventured further than anyone before

But our harsh trek is over now

Night after night, day after day

We are breaking the strength of the stone

The water is surging, my realm is emerging

And underground I’ll mount the throne

The lay of the land can be your friend

But our way is to shape it as needed

Ores of great worth, vastly covered with earth

A hindrance that’s easily defeated

Burning lignite and firing the clay

And smelting the iron to steel

To defend all the wealth that is rightfully mine

In caverns so deep they’re concealed

Strike the earth

Strike the earth

By the blood of the ancestors

Your only chance is to strike

Can you stand the killing

For the god that forged your chains

And keeps you starving as his slave

Can you stand the spilling

Of the blood that scorched your veins

And they will carve into your grave

That they are returning

Vile and dark the force is marching

To the giant gate of stone

Oh, the world is burning

With a spark the fire’s hatching

And will burn you to the bone

There’s only so much that a warrior can stand

'til madness is taking the lead

Can no longer tell a friend from a foe

Trapped never again to be freed

Fight after fight, fray after fray

They’ve been breaking our bodies and minds

The blood and the fire and a lunatic cry

Our fate has been sealed in the mines

The fire fills the field

The bodies feed the flames
