Sacred Oath - 'The Ferryman's Lair' (live in Hartford 1987)

Death is his life -
He kills the innocent for his own need
The end of his knife is stained
With the blood of a forgotten creed
Running alone,living his life in sincerity
The fall of a throne
Satisfies his need for security

Many men before in their foolish youth
Have tried to mislead the Ferryman
To pass the cold waters with reason uncouth,
They tried to play him a merryman

From a forgotten land
He rules the waters to eternity
His bony hand is ridden
With the blood of his daring prey
He works for a god & a devil as well
Oh ! watch him nod as you enter his hell

He peers out from his hood
laughing aloud as you step in his lair
His black ugly hood stares
Into souls as he asks for his fare
But take care foolish passenger
please beware of the Ferryman!

Το καλοκαίρι του 1987 οι Sacred Oath με δύο demos στην "πλάτη" ("Sacred Oath" 1985, "Shadow Out of Time" 1986) και το ντεμπούτο τους ("A Crystal Vision") να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών περιοδεύουν. Στις 25 Ιουνίου (για το 1987 μιλάμε πάντα) εμφανίσθηκαν στο Agora Ballroom (West Hartford, Connecticut) και μπορείτε να τους δείτε στο βίντεο της παρούσας ανάρτησης να αποδίδουν "ζωντανά" το τραγούδι "The Ferryman's Lair".

Οι Sacred Oath υπάρχουν στο κουρμπέτι από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει εννέα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν τέσσερα demos, δύο live albums συν μία συλλογή) με πιο πρόσφατο το album "Return of the Dragon" που "βγήκε" πέρυσι...
