Hounds of hell
Ordos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please sit down - And hear my words
Don't go out on the streets tonight - Or you'll get hurt

Hide under your bed - Silent as a mouse
Don't let anyone inside - On the sinners night

Because the hounds of hell - Are on the run again
Because the hounds of hell - Are on the run again

They feed upon - On human flesh
And all they drink is blood - The streets will turn red

So say your prayer - Before it's too late
Because the hounds of hell - Will take you to your grave

Because the hounds of hell - Are on the run again
Because the hounds of hell - Are on the run again

An evil army is marching - They've come to take your soul
An evil army is marching - They've come to take your soul

The judgement day is coming - Got nowhere to go
The judgement day is coming - Got nowhere to go
