V5

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] On the fog-bound lanes of East Anglia's shore, Where the North Sea whispers secrets of old, A shadow moves silent, forevermore, Black as the night, heart frozen and cold. Eyes like red coals burning through the mist, Paws leave no print on the dew-soaked ground, [Pre-Chorus] They say he brings doom to the traveler's path, A harbinger walking the edge of wrath. [Chorus] Old Shuck, Old Shuck, the devil's own hound, Roaming the marshes where the lost are found. One glowing eye in the midnight black, Old Shuck, Old Shuck, never turning back. Hear the thunder roll when he draws near, Old Shuck, Old Shuck, feeding on fear! [Verse 2] In Bungay's church on that storm-ravaged day, Doors burst asunder in lightning's cruel play, He tore through the pews, left death in his wake, Steeple crashed down for the devil's own sake. Now centuries pass, yet the legend remains, A guardian phantom of sorrow and chains. [Pre-Chorus] They say if he follows, your time has come, No prayer can save you, no road to run. [Chorus] Old Shuck, Old Shuck, the devil's own hound, Roaming the marshes where the lost are found. One glowing eye in the midnight black, Old Shuck, Old Shuck, never turning back. Hear the thunder roll when he draws near, Old Shuck, Old Shuck, feeding on fear! [Bridge] Through Suffolk lanes and Norfolk's wild fen, He watches the living, again and again... Is he curse or protector in disguise? A beast of the old gods with fire in his eyes... Don't look behind you... [Final Chorus] Old Shuck, Old Shuck, the devil's own hound, Roaming forever on haunted ground. One glowing eye cuts the darkness apart, Old Shuck, Old Shuck, thief of the heart! Feel the cold breath on the back of your neck, Old Shuck, Old Shuck... what did you expect? [Outro] Old Shuck... Old Shuck... Fades into the mist...
