Intro

I'll tattle a tale that is terribly true.

Stated out as a rumor, but suddenly grew.

And it deals with a man, and a horse, and a ring.

So settle on in and our song we shall sing.

Pre-verse:

Verse1

It happened one day in a ring by a farm

Some that tragically brought us much harm

How could a place abundant with charm

Create such a beast with a spear for an arm.

On death and destruction is what you will get

When he's coming for you and in your kilt you will wet.

And he's big and he's strong and its quite plain to see.

That this is the Tale of the Nuckelavee.

Chorus

Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee

You're big and evil and heinous

Who could it be who set you free?

He really must be an anus.

Verse2

Oh Nuckelavee it's easy to see

the terror you leave is raining on me.

The village is burned and the taverns are missed

and the beer is all gone and the elders are pissed.

And if they ever should find the fool

We'll hang him upside down by his tool

And spin him around until he gets sick

Ooh! Aah! Oh, that should do the trick.

Chorus

Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee

The terror you offer is high class

Who could it be who set you free?

He really must be a dumbass.

Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee

The horror you furnish is widespread

Who could it be who set you free?

He really must be an ox-head.

Solo

Verse3

Now everyone knows no blood should spill

In the sacred ring by the farm on the hill.

And if this ever happens the Death you should fear

He'll kick in your nuts and he'll serve them with beer.

So one final thought before I depart,

And this my friends comes straight from the heart.

We'd all be fine if not for that bell

And that horse killing wanker that opened up hell.

Chorus

Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee

We cannot win we must admit

Who could it be who set you free?

He really must be a dimwit.

Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee

You're big and evil and heinous

Who could it be who set you free?

He really must be an anus

hope you'll enjoy it!
