To guard the !@$( 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 death

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 death

The spirits stir again

In ruins still it stands
The keep of doom
The Hermitage
