[verse 1]
born amongst the asteroids, hereward by name
a child he of n-ble 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

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 3]
on every station, men and dogs they rallied to his band
they joined him on an asteroid, where they could make their stand
outside a treacherous minefield, inside his savage hounds
they staked their independence from the tyrants planet bound

[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 4]
before too long they were besieged but firmly held their ground
until at last a holy man betrayed the safe way down
both man and beast fought bravely, though they knew the fight was lost
they say that hereward escaped, his corpse was never found

[chorus x 2]
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

also he fought a bear
