Balefire Lyrics


On Senlac Hill

Every year he wanders the hill where the men lie still,
You can see him in the fading light fall to his knees as the feard takes flight,
All around in the terrible mud there’s a lake of blood,
Now we’re lost and the king lies dead, the Devil runs free and the gods have fled!

Now we’re looking back on a thousand years
And the names live on in the pubs and beers
And ghosts they walk through the streets of Hastings…
And on Senlac Hill

Every year I’m driven to the hill where they won’t lie still,
In the night they show me how they died, they won’t go away they won’t be denied!
In the dawn I shiver in the grass but the night has passed,
In my eye there’s a terrible pain but it fades like a vision of a doomed campaign

Now we’re looking back on a thousand years
And the names live on in the pubs and beers
And ghosts they walk through the streets of Hastings…
And on Senlac Hill

Every year I wander on the hill where the men lie still,
You can see me in the fading light fall to my knees as the feard takes flight,
All around in the terrible mud there’s a lake of blood,
Now we’re lost and the king lies dead, the Devil runs free and the gods have fled!

Now we’re looking back on a thousand years
And the names live on in the pubs and beers
And ghosts they walk through the streets of Hastings…
And on Senlac Hill

On Senlac Hill!

The Pub From Hell

Lost in the night just trying to get home, and getting nothing on his mobile phone,
The diesel ran out on a long dark road, he started walking so the story goes,
The boozer appeared all aglow in the dark, his fate was sealed and the devil laughed.

There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!

He’d been to the match but he’d been thrown out, he’d made his name as a bit of a lout,
He wandered through unfamiliar streets, he’d ‘f’ and blind at all the people he’d meet,
The boozer appeared all aglow in the dark, his fate was sealed and the devil laughed.

There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!

Johnny was a villain he was on the run, leader of the gang he was number one!
The filth got busy the job went bad, they’d run him ragged all across this land,
The boozer appeared all aglow in the dark, his fate was sealed and the devil laughed.

There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!

There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!
There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!

There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!
There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!
There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,
He’ll put the boot in and give you a slap, so just keep walking and don’t look back,
It’s an evil place and it just appears, with it’s evil bogs and it’s evil beers!
There’s a psycho drinking in the pub from Hell, he’ll kick your head in your teeth as well,

There’s something about her!

She’s the one, who struck me dumb, she’s the one, there’s something about her!
It’s in her eyes, can’t tell no lies, I’m mesmerized I swear on my life!
Tonic suit, or in her boots, blue jeans, there’s something about her!
Button down, down the old town, I want her for the rest of my life!
By my side, I’m so full of pride, she’s my skinhead girl!
Misunderstood, and much maligned, the only one I want in the world!

She’s real smart, a work of art, she stole my heart, there’s something about her!
Kinda tough, but soon enough, she’ll show you that there’s more to this girl!
English rose, heaven knows, I’ll tell you this there’s something about her!
All said and done, she’s the one, I’ve really gone and fallen for this girl! 
By my side, I’m so full of pride, she’s my skinhead girl!
Misunderstood, and much maligned, the only one I want in the world!

English rose, heaven knows, I’ll tell you this there’s something about her!
All said and done, yeah she’s the one, I’ve really gone and fallen for this girl! 
By my side, I’m so full of pride, she’s my skinhead girl!
Misunderstood, and much maligned, the only one I want in the world!

She’s the one, who struck me dumb, she’s the one, there’s something about her!
It’s in her eyes, can’t tell no lies, I’m mesmerized I swear on my life!
Tonic suit, or in her boots, blue jeans, there’s something about her!
Button down, down the old town, I want her for the rest of my life!
By my side, I’m so full of pride, she’s my skinhead girl!
Misunderstood, and much maligned, the only one I want in the world!

A Hard Rain

There’s a day that’ll never come, as sure as hell and the setting sun!
A time of peace and an end to war, a time good men have been praying for!
Bring it on, bring it on! Judgement to right this wrong!
Bring it on, bring it on! Before we reach the end of this song!

A hard rains gonna come it’s gonna come, and wash away all the fucking scum!
And leave the streets all nice and clean, a brave new world if you know what I mean?
Bring it on, bring it on! Judgement to right this wrong!
Bring it on, bring it on! Before we reach the end of this song!

All chavs with their guns and knives, will beg and plead as they end their lives!
We’ll find fuel everywhere we turn, our balefires will just burn and burn!
Bring it on, bring it on! Judgement to right this wrong!
Bring it on, bring it on! Before we reach the end of this song!

And when it comes it’ll sweep aside, all the shit and the filth worldwide,
We’ll start again and we’ll be reborn, we’ll have lived though the judgement storm!
Bring it on, bring it on! Judgement to right this wrong!
Bring it on, bring it on! Before we reach the end of this song!

HEADFUCK
           
HEADFUCK!

So you’re sitting on a plane, going out your brain,
You know you’re gonna die, you know you’re gonna fry,
The plane is going down, will ya burn or will ya drown?
You know you’re gonna die, yeah you know you’re gonna die!

And then you see it, it’s sitting on the wing out there,
Can you see it?  it’s laughing like a mad thing!

Why can’t you see (what I see?) I See!
Why can’t you just (believe?)  Believe!
Why can’t you see (what I see?)  I see!

So you’re laying in your bed going out your head,
Coz there’s something in your house and it isn’t Mickey Mouse,
Nah it’s something really bad, something really fucking mad,
And it’s coming after you yeah it’s coming after you!

And then you see it, it’s sitting on the wing out there,
Can you see it? it’s laughing like a mad thing!

Why can’t you see (what I see?) I See!
Why can’t you just (believe?)  Believe!
Why can’t you see (what I see?)  I see!
Why can’t you see it?

Why can’t you just (believe?)  Believe!
Why can’t you see (what I see?)  I see!

While it Dies

I don’t know, I just don’t know, just what to believe!
I don’t know, I just don’t know, is it time yet to grieve?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, I don’t think you realise,
I don’t know, I just don’t know, I can’t tell their truth from their lies!

Sit back!        They fooled you with their lies!    
Sit back!        It’s right there in their eyes!                         
Sit back!        Now listen to the cries!                   
Sit back!        And watch while it dies!      There’s something in the air!

I don’t know, I just don’t know, just how this can be?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, why no one can see?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, why don’t you fucking realise?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, you act like it’s such a surprise!

Sit back!        They fooled you with their lies!    
Sit back!        It’s right there in their eyes!                         
Sit back!        Now listen to the cries!                   
Sit back!        And watch while it dies!      There’s something in the air!

I don’t know, I just don’t know, now where I can hide?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, what train I should ride?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, now where I should be, mate?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, a place where our people are free!

Sit back!        They fooled you with their lies!    
Sit back!        It’s right there in their eyes!                         
Sit back!        Now listen to the cries!                   
Sit back!        And watch while it dies!      There’s something in the air!
           
I don’t know, I just don’t know, now how we can fight?
I don’t know, I just don’t know, the nation’s alight!
I don’t know, I just don’t know, I don’t think you realised,
I don’t know, I just don’t know, now sit back and watch while it dies!

Sit back!        They fooled you with their lies!    
Sit back!        It’s right there in their eyes!                         
Sit back!        Now listen to the cries!                   
Sit back!        And watch while it dies!      There’s something in the air!
