| The
Eyes In Darkness
Sleep: manufacture hybrid dreams; detesting stifling evil schemes,
Even now we hear the screams, forever calling,
Night: the only friend to call our own; even now we're not alone,
Upholding values they disown, our spirits falling.
In the dark of the night the voice, it comes to torment you,
Look up to the stars and see, your whole world crashing down,
No prayer to be said, no god, for you to call upon,
Just wait for your death and hope, your soul won't make a sound.
Life: the eyes in darkness wait to take; alluring us to senseless fate,
Even now we hesitate, our spirits drifting,
Fear: driving us to find the light; the carvern rim is now in sight,
The dead wake to resurgent life, with clouds uplifting.
In the dark of the night the voice, it comes to torment you,
Look up to the stars and see, your whole world crashing down,
No prayer to be said, your god, has turned his back on you,
As you lay here undying and hope, your life can start anew.
Start anew……………..start anew.
The flesh is melting from my face, insipid shadows now embrace,
Into the darkness I escape, I feel the piercing fangs of hate,
Can you, can you feel it?
" . . . 'Sblood, thou stinkard, I'll learn ye how
to gust . . . wolde ye swynke me thilke wys? . . . . Magna Mater! Magna
Mater! . . . Atys . . . Dia ad aghaidh ' s ad aodaun . . . agus bas
dunach ort! Dhonas ' s dholas ort, agus leat-sa! . . . Ungl . . . ungl
. . . . . . rrlh . . . chchch . . . "
"The Rats in the Walls" H.P. Lovecraft.
Look up to the skies and see me looking back, Look out
to the sea,
Hold on to your life when hounds of hell attack,
In your faith, you know I can believe.
I can believe.
Set a time for me, redefine for me,
Now that you have me, start a change in me,
All alone without, ever holding out, Never realise the pain I see,
Something inside me I can't explain,
Arms wrapped around you, your life I drain,
They try to tell me that I'm insane, they try to break me:
Well, I'm not listening,
Don't try to save me from my own hell,
Leave this black nightmare in which I dwell,
Darkness will save me oh can't you tell,
Evil will save me or can't you tell…
I don't need you.
I see your visions and I feel your heart so cold,
Your spirit is dying, but you are not alone,
The sun now is rising, and the light will see you through,
Just close your eyes, I'll be walking there beside you!
Look up to the skies and see me looking back, Look out to the sea,
Reach out to the truth and find it staring back,
In your faith, I know I can believe.
I can believe… I can believe…
