Haken Elephants Never Forget Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Take a little look behind the curtain
If you dare, if you are certain?
Gaze upon a perversion, cross my palm
A penny will buy you a soul

Pain, the only thing it feels
Bury your shame, we are all friends here
Ladies and not so gentlemen
A specimen so disturbing, behold our beast of burden

[Chorus]
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I rеmember, I remеmber another way
I remember, long before humanity

[Verse 2]
Must've disappointed its father
Does it have an elephant mother?
Should we take it over to the gallows?
Why's it hiding in the shadows?

[Pre-Chorus]
He, hidden by a veil of misery, woven by a thousand threads of ire
Forced to live a life of secrecy in abnormality
If I should fail in pleasing you, could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul? Could I be treasured in your home?

Take me

[Chorus]
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity

[Bridge 1]
I feel something inside of me
The noble beast of dignity
I see the symbol in my hand
Leviathan of Doggerland

I feel something inside of me
The noble beast of dignity
I see the symbol in my hand
Leviathan of Doggerland

Tell me who I am (I feel something inside of me)
Pull me from the sand (The noble beast of dignity)
Help me understand (I see the symbol in my hand)
Take my hand (Leviathan of Doggerland)
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]
Maketh me lie down beside the water's edge
Leadeth me through paths of righteousness
Thou art with me, thy rod and staff comfort me
In the presence of my enemies

[Guitar Break]

[Bridge 3]
Heavy, I drag my footsteps
Jackals prowl a fog-draped, cold Whitechapel
Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons
Ancient soldiers stand in apparition

Behind the curtain in the corner of the room
Pathetic specimen, you cower in the gloom

Heavy, I drag my footsteps
Jackals prowl a fog-draped, cold Whitechapel
Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons
Ancient soldiers stand in apparition

[Pre-Chorus]
I, hidden by a veil of dignity, woven by a thousand threads of ire
I choose to live a life of secrecy in my ascendancy

If I should fail in pleasing you, could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul? Could I be treasured in your home?

Take me

[Chorus]
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity

I remember (I remember), I remember another way
I remember (I remember), I remember a better day
I remember (I remember), I remember another way
I remember (I remember), long before humanity

I remember (I remember, I remember), I remember another way
I remember (I remember, I remember), I remember a better day
I remember (I remember, I remember), I remember another way
I remember (I remember, I remember), I never will forget you

[Outro]
