The Battle Of Fort Foreman Pt. Ii Lyrics - Singles - Abominable Slowmen

Darkness fills the land 

Enshrouding us despite our last stand 

And as Fort Foreman fell 

Douglas flung open the gates of Hell 

Fleeing through the night 

Plotting our revenge to make things right 

The union was unbound 

So we delved into the underground 

Sirens wail 

Parapets scaled 

And so we must bail to the underground 

In chaos 

Signals crossed 

And so we disband in the underground 

In darkness 

No music 

Will play for the band in the underground 

We languish 

In anguish 

Now that we've been banned to the underground 

Tripping over logs 

And pursued by android robot dogs 

Fleeing hurt and lame 

Yearning to avenge this loss in George's name 

Barkley snarled and grinned 

Tattered bed sheets blew in the wind 

Shoelaces were undone 

As Irish devil bats blotted out the sun 

Fort Foreman (Alas, the Fort) could not be saved 

Now the countryside's enslaved 

And we're hunted like dogs 

Well, we have not lately shaved 

Let our tombstones be engraved 

Cuz we're hunted like dogs 

Yeah, we're hunted like dogs 

Android dog bit off my leg 

Now I walk upon a peg 

Waiting to hear news of my old friends 

Safety pot fell off my head 

Bullet grazed my ear and I bled 

Stains cast down upon my best white shirt 

Barkley's minions hunt me down 

As I press on from town to town 

Staying just a step ahead of death 

I relive the battle in my dreams 

Now I suffer from weak stream 

No more, no less the man I used to be 

Living off the bugs I find 

Screams of comrades in my mind 

No memory of the man I used to be 

Shot a demon, stubbed my toe 

Man it really hurts, you know? 

I swear that Douglas will pay for his crimes 

Walking down this road of sorrow 

I'll rebuild my strength tommorow 

But for now I'll just try to survive 

I bruised my arm and now you see 

It's hard to lay down and watch TV 

I swear that Barkley will pay for his crimes
