The Tale of The Tiger and The Shark

from The Tiger And The Shark by Interroclef

/

lyrics

I.
A graceful red shark
And a giant golden tiger embark
On a magical journey
Cross the seas of uncertainty
Toward safe harbor and a nice park

But there rose an unseasonable swell
Off the shark's back tiger fell
An unholy vortex
And muggles in gortex
Dragged them both down to Hell
Yeah, Hell


II.
(Mephistopheles):
Velkommen til helvete
Din skjeggete Viking
Her skal du lemlestes
Grilles og kvestes!

((Welcome to Hell
You bearded Viking
Here you'll be mutilated
Grilled and bruised!)

III.
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
Fire, fireball!
- whooaaaahhhhhhrrrrrgh!


IV.
But thence came the wizard from Oak Land
He conjured a mountain from mere sand
His acolytes chanted
The query was granted
The muggles were finally outmanned

Prosperous times rose for sorceries
Our kindred now live without worries
Destroyed all pop music
With magical oosik
While tiger and shark reign in glory
Yeah, glory


V.
Mo mël do tyë na tonn i ayaro,
I ambaron ar linta ayar,
Mo elwen builli do tyë faoi i rámar sorono,
Soarë ar eitilt léra!

O melda! O calélen!
O lindë mo elweno sérë!
násië elwë bí stuama ilyë i loaion,
tenna va Endor elwë nar vanwa.

(My love for you is a wave of the ocean,
The rising and swift sea,
My heart beats for you on the wings of an eagle,
Soaring and flying free

O loved one! O starlight!
O song of my heart content!
May we be together all the years,
til from Middle-Earth we are sent.)
