Shawn James - Belly Of The Beast Lyrics






There's a darkness on these lands I can't abide
It follows me blocking out the sun's daylight
Carry on, my sister, don't you fear for me
I've been battling my demons in the belly of this beast

Ares, He gonna teach me war
And Athena gonna mold my mind's eye
Demos gonna terrorize their souls
They want a war, I'ma show 'em how it goes

It goes on and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on

Father was a steel working man
Fueled by spirits and ruled with an iron hand
Carry on, my mother, don't you fear for me
I watched you battling those demons in the belly of that beast

Ares, He gonna bring down war
And Athena gonna mold my mind's eye
Demos gonna terrorize their souls
They want a war, I'ma show 'em how it goes

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on

Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles

Tell me what is wrong and tell me what is right
What is the soul of a man with no consequence in sight?
Tell me what is wrong and tell me what is right
What is the soul of a man with no consequence in sight?

I'm gonna give 'em a war
I'm gonna give 'em a war

Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles
Everyone wants to win the war
No one wants to fight the battles

    “Belly Of The Beast”

    There’s a darkness on these lands I can’t abide
    It follows me blocking out the sun’s daylight
    Carry on, my sister, don’t you fear for me
    I’ve been battling my demons in the belly of this beast

    Ares, He gonna teach me war
    And Athena gonna mold my mind’s eye
    Demons gonna terrorize their souls
    They want a war, I’ma show ’em how it goes

    It goes on and on and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on and on
    On and on and on

    Father was a steel working man
    Fueled by spirits and ruled with an iron hand
    Carry on, my mother, don’t you fear for me
    I watched you battling those demons in the belly of that beast

    Ares, He gonna bring down war
    And Athena gonna mold my mind’s eye
    Demons gonna terrorize their souls
    They want a war, I’ma show ’em how it goes

    On and on and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on
    On and on and on and on and on
    On and on and on

    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles

    Tell me what is wrong and tell me what is right
    What is the soul of a man with no consequence in sight?
    Tell me what is wrong and tell me what is right
    What is the soul of a man with no consequence in sight?

    I’m gonna give ’em a war
    I’m gonna give ’em a war

    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles
    Everyone wants to win the war
    No one wants to fight the battles

    Great Song

    J.... P....

    Nice job on the lyrics! Quick edit: "Demons gonna terrorize their souls" - 'Demons' should be Demos (greek god of terror)

    J.... P....

    It should be Deimos (Δείμος). Demos (Δήμος) means people.

  32. R.... C....

    Much as most, i found about you through Last Of Us. But damn right i'm glad I did. You're so fucking talented. Thank you for existing, you made my mornings so much more bearable. I play your tunes on spotify every shitty morning i wake up to. Thank you so much.

  33. �.... �....

    What can I say, I listen to your music many times a day during the last three month, study to sing blues by your videos and using guitar fingerstyle in your manner. (crossed out "and trying to grow a beard like you have") No, I'm not your crazy fan, I just like kind of music you play and the way you do it - it's amazing and goes out of heart. Never heard about "lust of us", heard of you and the Shapeshifters thanks to one blues-tematic public (song was "Omens") and like what I heard so much. Seen your nearest tour dates (and was disappointed), anyway, will be waiting for you in Russia untill you visit this country!
    Great job, man! You're one of the best nowdays!

  34. h.... h....
