Questing Beast Lyrics

My bloodline is destined to hunt this great beast;
In pursuit my brothers perished, but where they failed I shall succeed.
Leopard, lion, hart or snake; it matters not, its bones i'll break -
I'll never tarry, never rest; this is my life, my all, my quest.

The noise it unleashes sounds like a pack of baying hounds
And tragedy soon follows wherever it is found
Like a monstrous omen of the chaos soon to come
The turmoil it forecasts can never be undone

Stare into the sky as my dreams soar high
My des-tiny lies in the woods near by
Now my fears defied, I've waited all my life
To hunt the questing beast!

On my shield rely, and with my spear let fly
Until the blood runs dry, no life within its eyes
Till then alone I lie, and on my sword live by
As I hunt the questing beast!

Obsessed by my conquest, the days turn into years
At last I catch my first real glimpse; the end to all our fears.
Almost loath to take its life, I cleave its heart in twain
Knowing its death shall bring my own, without the beast I live in vain.

Stare into the sky as my dreams soar high
My des-tiny lies in the woods near by
Now my fears defied, I've waited all my life
To hunt the questing beast!

On my shield rely, and with my spear let fly
Until the blood runs dry, no life within its eyes
Till then alone I lie, and on my sword live by
As I hunt the questing beast!
