Magnum - The Bringer lyrics

I feel like I am on another planet

The hunter is on the prowl he's got his eyes on me

Silent I tread because he's tracking me down

Awake in my bed I know he's sneaking around

I see culture disappear before me

A gathering of the few who will be torn apart

Foolish the heart that will succumb just to last

Broken the dream when all this does come to pass

The jackal is king down here

Although he's the great pretender

The jackal will smile and leer

A message of bad news

He is the bringer (repeat)

A new change has been swept abroad

A new face for us all

My questions shall be ignored

And too soon will we fall

I hear someone talk that does confound me

On carrion he will feed

Strip clean your warm desire

Dreadful the sight to witness carnage revealed

Hungry the jaws that once lay darkly concealed

The jackal is king down here

Although he's the great pretender

The jackal will smile and leer

A message of bad news

He is the bringer (repeat)
