Ready for eversleep
She's patting your head
Angst, painful and so deep, but you're long dead
If all were lost and empty were true a list of thoughts would spill right through
Lay your head down soft in her lap
She with her crown
You with your cap
Ready for eversleep
She's patting your head
Angst, painful and so deep, but you're long dead
She will be there waiting with you
A vile trickster
Patron of blue
Lay your head down soft in her lap
She with her crown
You with your cap
Ready for eversleep
She's patting your head
Angst, painful and so deep, but you're long dead

Drown Below
05:03
|

I fall back into this greyscaled endlessness and repeat the same mistakes again
Covered all with snow to keep you motionless
Unaffected and without a stain
And I fall back into this greyscaled endlessness
Day by day I walk in my own tracks
Covered all with snow to keep you motionless
Unaffected
Memories in wax
Opening my eyes and I see nothing
Nothing looks like anything no more
And I just stand here
Frozen
Paralyzed
And watch you drift away
I try to reach you
Hold you
Keep you
Still you fade out more each day

Slithering
04:08
|

You might think you're free
You might think you're right
Just as you relax
Snuggle in at night
Our rotten nails will shriek
Inhumane and bright
Digging fast and deep right into your eyes
Not able to see
Just hearing our shouts
Drilling through your ears
We'll slither through your mouth
And we will always win
Gathering the souls
Flesh and blood and bones
As the deathbell tolls
You're never free
You're never right
Because there's only me
Holding you tight
You're never free
You're never right
Because there's always me
Holding you tight

Down by the Gallows
04:37
|
|||
I'm just hanging out down by the gallows
In the shadow of She who was rocked to sleep
They say there was a horror down by the shallows
Where the children play games and the joy runs deep
I'm just hanging out down by the gibbet
The motion She makes in the late summer wind makes the creaks of the timber sing along with the crickets
And as I gazed upwards I could have sworn that she grinned
Something is moving in the dark
In the corner of my mind
Just out of sight
The shadow of a memory of a ghost
The whispers of a wraith in the warm sunlight
I'm just hanging out down by the gallows
But I'm just hanging out down by the gallows
And my eyes seems fixated on Her quiet dance
A memory floats by
Of her hands
And what follows
Held down in wet darkness by those gentle hands
The image flees back into the dark
To the corner of my mind
Just out of sight
The shadow of a memory of a ghost
The whispers of a wraith in the warm sunlight
I'm just hanging out down by the gallows
And I'm still hanging out down by the gallows

Inside of Me
04:41
|

Grace my life with your presence
If only for a moment I'll be near you
I reek of pain
I'm out of all sense
Fight for you
Grasp my last straw
The more I think, the more I need
Your light
Your love
My soul is raw
Can you see me at your feet?
Lick me inside out and through
The snake inside of me is you.
Lick me inside out and through
Gruesome torture is loving you
When I scream will you pity me?
If only for a moment I'll be near you
All for your grace
As you say I'll be
Fight for you
Grasp my last straw
The more I think, the more I need
Your light
Your love
My soul is raw
Can you see me at your feet?
Lick me inside out and through
The snake inside of me is you.
Lick me inside out and through
Gruesome torture is loving you

Crown of Bones
03:31
|

I'll walk along the burning halls and watch the flames devour it all
I'll sit upon my blackened throne and craft myself a crown of bones

For the Crows
04:33
|
|||
Leave the corpses for the crows
Open up the tombs and let the reeking bodies walk
Dress them up in suits and cover up the smell of corpse
Fear and hate will form a pyre
Feed the flames with countless lies
From the ash a forest grows
Leave the victims for the crows
Am I here or is it you?
Am I here or is it you?
Waste the light of seven moons
Leave the corpses for the crows
Open up the crypts and let the reeking bodies out
Dress them up in suits and cover up the smell of rot
Greed and fear will form a pyre
Fields and towns consumed by fire
Those who were friends are now foes
Leave the corpses for the crows
Am I here or is it you?
Am I here or is it you?
Waste the light of seven moons
Leave the corpses for the crows

Plague Ship
05:00
|
|||
You ride the waves in silence
You ride the waves in solitude
A dead vessel
A plague ship
Making your final trip
Your voyage has only just begun and yet the dock stands deserted
And you'll be missed by no one
Your apparition shunned and skirted
You ride the waves in silence
You ride the waves in solitude
A dead vessel
A plague ship
Making your final trip
Your sails are ripped and torn
Your hull's a rotting perversion
Looked upon with fear and scorn
Longing for final immersion
You ride the waves in silence
You ride the waves in solitude
A dead vessel
A plague ship
Making your final trip

The Search
04:17
|
|||
The sights you've seen
What terror
What fright
The search went on for days and nights
But to this day the moans still sound
From deep in the woods
From under the ground
When you went down in the woods that day
You sure had a big surprise
Nothing was quite as it had seemed
And certainly not for your eyes
The sights you've seen
What terror
What fright
The search went on for days and nights
But to this day the moans still sound
From deep in the woods
From under the ground
They took you in but never out
You kicked and screamed but they cared naught
Till the end of the days you'll be their guest
Forever trapped inside their hall
The sights you've seen
What terror
What fright
The search went on for days and nights
But to this day the moans still sound
From deep in the woods
From under the ground

Detention at Miskatonic
04:38
|
|||
Did I ever have the power?
I always believed I ruled
Electricity melts my brains
What the hell remains?
Fever burns through my flesh
Skin slides off my bones
Whispers in the tunnels
Below my feet it rains
All I built is in chaos
Love and hate remains
Leave me now
Leave me now
Leave me now
Begone
Did I ever have the power?
I always believed I ruled
Electricity melts my brains
What the hell remains?
Queendom in heartless space
All gods are sitting on dead thrones
Screams and screams in vain
Below my feet it rains
All I built is in chaos
Love and hate remains
Leave me now
Leave me now
Leave me now
Begone
Did I ever have the power?
I always believed I ruled
Electricity melts my brains
What the hell remains?
