Shit! shit!

I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost
I've been hiding here for a thousand years, waiting for your ghost
Your life's about to flash before your eyes
Your life's about to flash before your eyes

Stand your ground, this is ancient land
I was guided here by the spirits hand
We shall meet, at hells gate
This is fate this is fate this is fate this is fate

Not all is lost the spirits shriek
You will be hunted we shall seek
Perseverance, turn the page
Enter shikari enter shikari

We're not hiding we're not hiding
We're not hiding we're not hiding
We're not hiding now we're not hiding now

I'm in the zone

Alright!

And still we will be here,
Standing like statues
And still we will be here,
Standing like statues

This album is something completely different than any other. Such a great album. It’s my favorite album in the hardcore genre for sure. Very unique and solid all the way around. Just the name enter shikari is badass. Which if you look it up the definition is a Hunter of big game
