Anythings - Samhain Sun

dream of frights
these autumn nights
hold your loved ones tight
you hang your pumpkin lights
and realize
here's a chance
a dark romance
deep October trance
the cornfield greets us
shouting out our voodoo chants
try to make a scarecrow dance
behold
the stalks expose
raven's mortal foe
waltzing to and fro
allegro
what a scene
a moon-soaked dream
werewolves howling
the clock has struck thirteen
the witches' chorus sings songs of Halloween
Samhain sun, graveyard fun
underworld overcome
skeletons banging drums
haunts and ghouls for everyone
month divine
so mull the wine
wander through the night
to trace the pumpkin vines
and realize
zombie zeal
the dark appeal
ghouls becoming real
my ghostly joy is bubbling out of every hole
toil, trouble, in my soul
Samhain sun, graveyard fun
underworld overcome
skeletons banging drums
haunts and ghouls for everyone

Well this place is ripe for haunting
and I know you've got some ghosts
Maybe I will turn the lights off
And keep you close (keep you close)
There's a creaking in the floorboards
There's a draft through closed windows
Did we ask for this when we said
that this old house had good bones?
What did we give for all of this?
Familiar walls, someone else's kiss
(There was someone before me)
What did we give for all of this?
Familiar walls, someone else's kiss
(There's always someone before me)

Thursday night
taco johns
plastic fangs
a kid's sized churro
in the back seat
on the way
to the church
for an evening service
so everyone could pray
for no razor blades
painted horses
or sacrificial cats
on the night before
Halloween
commercials for
horror films
we saw on TV
commercials for
horror films
gave me bad dreams
all the lights went out
while we were swimming
at the YMCA
then Freddy Kruger
in a semi truck
was chasing after me
on the night before
Halloween

Glowing green eyes see every move you make
Peering through cracks in all your walls
Afflicted by the pain that grows inside
Your eyes will swell with bitter hate
The spirits will seep out and over take
Your body and your restless mind
They will slowly turn you into one of them
Decaying ghastly creatures of the night
Haunt your insides, Haunt your insides
Haunt your insides, Haunt your insides

Bilge - Black and Blue

Black and blue
Dust and ooze
Black and blue
Black and blue
For 75 years
I’ve made a lot of fear
I’ve crawled inside a mask or two
I’ve licked a face
I’ve been a ghoul
I’ve laid little Lizzy down a time or two
She said she liked my style
So I tipped my fingers roundabout
To turn those mother fuckers wild
Oh baby
I just want to find
A supple hole
Oh god
A wet place
To die
That’s all mine
For 75 years
I’ve made a lot of fear
I’ve asked kindly for another dance
A day
A place
A mind that’s mine
That’s fine
I find myself again
I hated all the time I had
To rot and ooze
And grow and pine
And finally find myself
Black and blue
Dust and ooze
Black and blue
Black and blue
Oh lord
Oh dusty sky
I don’t who I was
And even now
A dead man
I don’t know who I am

there's no door
upon which she won't knock
there's no floor
upon which she won't walk
there's no creature
upon which she won't stalk
she's coming
she'll dig your eyes out
and crush them in her teeth
she'll cut your heart out
then plant it like a seed
she'll pull your teeth out
a token for her effort
she's coming
she's coming
i've been waiting
all my life for this
i think i've earned it
my life gone in her kiss
my heart is slowing
my eyelids falling closed
i'm ready
i'm ready

Astro Bats - Halloween
02:19
|
|||
Rats, bats and black cats and things that go bump in the night.
The poems of Poe, Ravens and Crows and vampiric rites.
The Lurking Fear and Witch House tales of Lovecraft's lore.
Hollows eve, pumpkins glow, skeleton monsters abhor.
And we float through the crisp air
Kicking dead leaves
The veil is thin in the night
The moon is full in the night
And the sky is a deep blue
And I scream for you
I scream for me
I scream for you

The storm
drew you
through
a narrow frame
A corridor
leading
to the
strange
The flash
reveals
two flights
imperial
While casts
of stone
leer down
in cold zeal
The room
spins a new
frequency
Teeter
on the edge
of sanity
Abstract
from the void
a visitant
Softly
whispering
reaching in

I think that you look best in gray, it matches my mood and it matches my day
where is she dead? Always future or past Is punishment present, that already is no more.
She wants to live in a time left behind, but never again will her nightmare desist
Veins in her neck shall be constantly pulsing with blood that is ancient and colder than dread she says
I walk these halls on the darkest of nights in the hopes of devouring a piece of her pain
One fateful night I swear on my life, my heart turned to stone and she screamed out my name again and again she screamed out my name
I’ll have you know her voice is divine, I’ll tell her tonight as her screams mix with mine
Farewell, goodnight, she’s killing my mind so I can cross to the other side for the rest of eternity

His face caves in
like a rotten apple,
Eyes pop
like wet balloons,
(The sound..)
A gorgeous, gushing gouge
His hair all matted
and glued to parts
of his shadow
I'm not scared
of wishing I'd done it--
not dreamt it
(I walk home alone)
The night covers his body,
the fog acts as a casket.

Hael - Moonlit Hollow
04:39
|
|||
beware of those that follow
down in the moonlit hollow
a dreadful truth to swallow
you've lived your last tomorrow
something's watching through the trees
cloaked in tranquil midnight breeze
(bloodthirst release)
boogeymen that stalks your friends
dead ends, collecting heads
and painting with the deepest reds
beware of those that follow
down in the moonlit hollow
a dreadful truth to swallow
you've lived your last tomorrow
monster meets the final prey
purity may save the day
(vengeful melee)
in this place that casts a spell
the darkened grove where ghouls dwell
will you send me back to Hell?
beware of those that follow
down in the moonlit hollow
a dreadful truth to swallow
you've lived your last tomorrow
(heavy breaths / patient steps / vacant eyes / ghastly mask
horror rows / coalesce / rental store / VHS
altar site / sacrifice / creaking winds / songs of night
looming trees / spectral peace / lunar glean / final scene)
though you've forced me to my grave
there's a sequel on the way
