Lordi - 'Thing in the Cage' (official lyric video)

Step right up
I am worth your ticket
Look at me
I’ll show you horrific

No one could tell that I’m just a broken thing
I am a wonder they come see
The rubes pay more for horror that I can bring
This freak show needs a geek like me
Forsaken

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Everyone stares as I shiver in rage
I am the sideshow attraction
My misery’s here for your satisfaction

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Standing applause as I enter the stage
They say I’m the spawn of the devil
I am unique and I’m god damn special

Yesterday ruined my tomorrow
All my scars tell of broken sorrow
Used to have fine cuisine and hefty payment
Now I eat rats to feed your entertainment

Full length album νούμερο 18 για τους Lordi. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Screem Writers Guild" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του τρέχοντος μήνα. Η Φινλανδική μπάντα έγινε γνωστή λόγω της συμμετοχής της στον μουσικό διαγωνισμό της Eurovision (εκπροσώπησε την Φινλανδία στην Αθήνα το 2006 με το τραγούδι "Hard Rock Hallelujah" όπου και ήρθε πρώτη με 292 βαθμούς), όμως υπάρχει από το 1992 αν και δισκογραφεί από τις αρχές του 21ου αιώνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Founded in 1992 by singer, songwriter and designer Mr. Lordi, Lordi are one of the major Finnish rock / heavy metal acts of our time. Originally rooted in Rovaniemi (Northern Lapland, Finland), the band achieved their international breakthrough after winning the Eurovision Song Contest with their hit song ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ in 2006.

Since then, the unconventional troop has rocked their way into the spotlight of Europe with charm, unforgettable tunes and elaborate monster costumes, and have become an integral part of the line-ups of globally recognized festivals such as Wacken Open Air (DE), Sweden Rock Festival (SE) and Masters of Rock (CZ).

It’s eventually Mr. Lordi who designs and produces LORDI’s complete wardrobe by hand, and it takes him no less than 3 hours every evening to turn himself into the legendary monster man that once again plays the leading role in this new blockbuster – ahem, album! - coming on March 31st, 2023.»
