Bone Shaker Metal

Bone Shaker is a visceral song. I deliberately don't explicitly spell out what the Bone Shaker is but I see it as a metaphor for when politicians stir up nationalistic passions (for their own selfish ends) but it gets out of hand, and then suddenly you get wars, or countries that tear themselves apart

Bone Shaker

(Intro)

F/x: sound of thunder

(Verse 1)

Up in the mountains

Where only eagles dare

The rumble of the thunder is

Not why the gods are scared

He's a Bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

(Verse 2)

High above the tree tops

Scorched by the sun's glare

Rising from his slumber

With his fist clenched in the air

He's a Bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

He's a bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

(Bridge)

He wants to grind your bones

Throw them in a pile

Teeth and nails and fillings from

Man, woman, and child

He answers all his summons

Enraged to be disturbed

But he's burning with a hunger

And his fury will be heard

(Verse 3)

Down in the cities

The bonds of peace now break

The acolytes caught in crosshairs are

Too blind to see their fate

He's a Bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

He's a bone shaker

He's a Bone shaker

(Outro)

He wants to grind your bones

He's a bone shaker

(You won't stop him)

He wants to grind your bones

He's a bone shaker

(The bombs are dropping)

Bone shaker

Bone shaker

He's gonna grind your bones

He's THE Bone Shaker
