Hey little buddy, sitting by the road, Go home now, the hour is late There have been murders about You don't want a similar fate Stop crying little one, speak up now For there is evil in the air What's that I see in your hand? Tickets to the Raptorsville Fair?
2.
Bearded ladies, 8 foot men Balloon sellers, lion's den Shooting galleries, candy stalls At Raptorsville Fair, there's something for all! Hooded priests & prophecies Ancient words that spread disease Mayor's ashes, from town hall At Raptorsville Fair, there's something for all! Flamethrowers, a castle of ice Kissing booths, and kissing flies Rides that rise and rides that fall At Raptorsville Fair there's something for all! Solo: Varun So come to the best show in town Good little boys can meet the clown Go on dear lad, don't you stall At Raptorsville Fair, there's something for all!
3.
Sometimes when you're feeling lost Sometimes when you're feeling down You need a little cheering up From Jugglehead the Clown Giddyup, little boy The finest rides of Raptorsville All await your tiny soul To give you ultimate thrills They'll take you up They'll take you down They'll take you Deep underground Amidst the bodies of those murdered Why scared? Don't you shudder Solo: Nishith Solo: Vignesh And then if you're a good boy I'll let you on a special ride The world's greatest Ferris Wheel One that kisses the sky Solo: Varun Do you dare to take the the ride Or are you a boy that cries? You don't need tickets, it's free Just you, the clouds and me! Solo: Nishith

We lift off the ground Hurtle towards the cloud Leave your worries behind As the clouds draw near Your worries disappear Only smiles you will find But to be a proud Child of the cloud Your task you must fulfill Your parents you will kill Let's play a little game Things will never be the same Keeping you confined In your little cells Taking away all the fun And making life hell Here's your chance To make them pay Then among the clouds Forever you can play We've reached the cotton-candy Playground in the clouds Your friends await you Beaming ever so proud They've all killed their folks And are free of their chains They rode this ride before And they will ride again All it takes is a stroke To strike them head I'll help you celebrate My juggling my own head Slowly I detach My head is not attached See hahahahaha I juggle See me hahahah no struggle You had your share of fun now In this ground in the cloud It's time to go down again Back on to the ground Do visit us again And tell me if you like how this sounds Let's not rest until You strike your parents down Solo: Vignesh Solo: Nishith You are children of the cloud You won't rest till you strike your parents down Solo: Vignesh

Outro - Fold 01:13
So you are the children of the cloud, Who've been murdering parents across town? But you're from the orphanage down the way! If you've got no parents to kill, who will you slay? What...what's that glimmer in your eyes...NO....NO...NOOOOOOOO!
6.
The rebellion had been crushed, All hope, they said, was gone, But in this dank, putrid room, A new assassin was born! Welcome, to my lair You are awake, now be aware My friend, you look vexed You can call me Doctor Hex You were taken in stealth, when the battle was lost Escaping the blood, and away from the force The rebellion crushed, our plans were all foiled The blood of our brothers, still lies on the soil But now you will rise Bring death from the skies Inside your back, the seeds have been sown The world you have known, you will now disown Our one true hope, you must bear the cross Unfurl your wings, reborn Albatross Destruction you'll bring So warrior, take wing Solo: Vignesh Solo: Nishith With your wings, bring us salvation With your claws, an assassination From your flight, a new order will rise The Albatross, fear from the skies! Solo: Nishith Rise above, now ascend higher We'll build today, our own empire Through the pain, and friends that we've lost We'll raise the sign...of Albatross!
7.
There he stands, the scoundrel King Surrounded by his scoundrel guard Our plan is to take him quick Hit him strong and hit him hard As you sweep down and take his throat The despot, he exists no more My men surround him and take his crown The empire comes crumbling down And now the king is dead Rest in spikes does his head Maim those he called his own As I ascend the throne. Solo: Vignesh And as my first decision I order you imprisoned You are my biggest threat Winged assassin, you're sentenced to death! You, my soldier distinguished Forever will be extinguished I announce a grand banquet We celebrate your doomed fate Solo: Nishith And no sign must still remain Of the kind that ruled this place From the ashes of all that's lost We raise the empire of Albatross Take down what remains Leave no trace of the king An Albatross shall be carved in stone And unveiled at dining
8.
Intro: Vignesh In hundreds they come, richly clad Ladies and their noblemen Men of honour, men of class In throngs they do attend Gaily they tread down To a hall as bright as day And as it approaches midnight Their new King makes his way In admiration they gaze Awestruck and amazed Is he the one that they seek? He takes the stand and speaks 'The terror that roamed the land The accursed Albatross Was killed at my request All hope is not lost' (Whispers- But what're those voices we hear, are they only in our head?) From the death of the old king A new order we shall bring An end to the holocaust The empire of Albatross Solo-Nishith Solo- Vignesh 'Tonight the past dies A new Empire will rise At the stroke of midnight Witness my new delight Revealing my symbol An unveiling I've planned A giant stone Albatross Will rule forever this land' (Whispers- But what're those voices we hear, are they from the dead?) From the death of the old king A new order we shall bring An end to the holocaust The empire of Albatross As the clock struck twelve The King pulled back the veil The guests looked in glee And as one began to wail For a masterpiece they saw An Albatross stood tall But then it cracked like glass Little by little it began to fall Gasps & screams, and shouts were heard There stood Man-bird with wings unfurled The killer of kings, the ruler of bird, At his cry, the birds did fly And yes, they pecked...he watched all die The Emperor Hex, he groaned and cried The empire of Albatross crumbled that day! The Albatross empire, crumbled that day!

about

Albatross, arguably India's most well-known heavy metal band, release their debut full length on Transcending Obscurity India. After releasing two well known albums, one EP and one split, the members have spent years perfecting their magnum opus titled 'Fear from the Skies'. With impeccable production values, every note is cleanly heard, every chord strikes a deadly blow and equipped with exceptional storytelling skills, the album resonates as a chilling two-fold concept well after it is over. From the fictional character "Jugglehead the Clown" to the tale of the "flying assassin" this album has a lurid lyrical theme brought to life by the juicy and vibrant clean singing vocals of Biprorshee Das, punctuated by the classy solos of three guitarists in the band. In every department Albatross shine like no other, rich in compositions, execution and memorability.
