about

The Dark Horde is a collective of internationally recognised musicians, vocalists and actors from Melbourne, Australia. Together they have created The Calling, a concept album written and directed by Andrew "Brewin" Drage.

The Calling is a musical narrative experience featuring a supernatural horror story set to an "eighties heavy metal" soundtrack. It is the prequel to Brewin's award-winning horror novel The Dark Horde, set in south-eastern Australia in 1989.

Slaughter is the eleventh track from The Calling album.

lyrics

(James/Brewin)

I BEHOLD THE SLAUGHTER OF OUR RACE
I BEHOLD THE EVIL, I SEE ITS FACE
LURKING HORROR REARS ITS HEAD
TO INVADE OUR WORLD, TO STRIKE US DEAD

WHERE TO RUN? WHERE TO HIDE?
THE DARK HORDE WAITING ON EVERY SIDE
WHERE TO RUN? WHERE TO HIDE?
THE DARK HORDE WAITING ON EVERY SIDE

BEFORE THE DARK HORDE FLEES HUMANITY
RUNNING BLIND, DESPERATE TO BE FREE
BUT THERE WAS NO ESCAPE, NO SANCTUARY
NO SALVATION AND NO MERCY

WHERE TO RUN? WHERE TO HIDE?
THE DARK HORDE WAITING ON EVERY SIDE
WHERE TO RUN? WHERE TO HIDE?
THE DARK HORDE WAITING ON EVERY SIDE

(Solo: James)

THE DARK HORDE ATTACKED, BLOOD SPLATTERED
BODIES WERE HACKED AND BONES SHATTERED
ALL WERE FELLED TO THE LAST ONE
THE MASSACRE OF MAN HAS BEGUN

Destiny is cruel when you are its slave.
There is no privilege in this, no fortune in being chosen,
there is only eternal damnation.
When all hope has faded from the world.
When all the gates of salvation are closed
and all the gates of hell are open.
