To guard the ba*tard son That someday could be king The Elliott reiver clans Were charged with the bidding And as the tale is told This monster grew with age Torturing flesh and soul Inside the Hermitage The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage The Lord of Liddlesdale De Soulis be the name Whose grim debauchery Had earned a tyrant's fame A soulless pedophile Who wanted to be thane Who left a wake of d**h Behind his bloody reign The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands
The keep of doom The Hermitage I felt the energy And stood within its walls I've seen the grey pale light Inside the ancient halls I've seen the pit of doom The dungeon of despair And felt the breath of hell Within the tyrant's lair The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage His body boiled alive Inside a vat of lead His ghost still haunts the keep His spirit trapped in d**h The spirits stir again In ruins still it stands The keep of doom The Hermitage
