Hereward The Wake The Mechanisms

[Verse 1]
Born among the asteroids, Hereward by name
A child he of noble stock, a belter born and raised
Held up a holy man who chose to flash his wealth around
But for his crime was exiled, sent out into the wild

[Chorus]
Watch out into the black, Hereward is coming through
All his hounds at his back, ruin in his wake
He'll spare you from his attack, if you’re belt born and bred
But those born planetside should all fear for their lives

Watch out into the shade, Hereward is coming through
Fire up the barricades and sleep by your knife
No one comes to your aid when you're stood to face to face
With Hereward the Wake

[Verse 2]
Along his way, he came across a princess, duty-bound
And saved her from betrothal to the master of the hounds
She asked that he would stay a while and she would be his bride
But he loved his servant Martin, so they left her far behind

[Chorus]
Watch out into the black, Hereward is coming through
All his hounds at his back, ruin in his wake
He'll spare you from his attack, if you’re belt born and bred
But those born planetside should all fear for their lives
