Creatures crawl with life
Cast upon us fear
Your dark suits are like armour
Indestructible
Invincible
Black scorpion
Poisons us all
Your greed stings like venom with your blackened souls
Black scorpion
Paralyzes is all
Stolen our liberty while your profits grow
You sabotage our lives
Demanding we feel fear
Robbing us entirely
Yet we still persevere
Live with no fear
Black scorpion
Poisons us all
Your greed stings like venom with your blackened souls
Black scorpion
Paralyzes is all
Stolen our liberty while your profits grow
Cowards prey upon the faint
Frightened of revolution
Who would they manipulate
If there was extinction
For years, been filled with wrath
Now’s our time you better watch your back
We’re plotting our attack
Feeding off our misery
Lost without your stinger
How would you operate
Without all your power
Woah black scorpion our word is true
We’re onto you

"old-school death", they said.
while in many ways, that could be said about "echoes of the soul", this album musically has so much more to offer. it is melodic, has some BM elements, and the solos are breathtaking.
i was surprised & delighted & this quickly became one of my favourite albums.
the lyrics' socio-political messages & the spirituality & the depths of feeling & of being human are all things i can really,really connect to. there's a kind of empathy that is often elsewhere absent. frög
