A choir of banshees fills the night with their song Mournfully wailing into the skies, the sound greets the whipping winds There are forces at work that we can’t understand Death is coming, of that we can be certain To whom, to how many is the question Never have we heard so many sing at once The mist is overtaking the air Breathing in damp bitterness, the world we know condenses into droplets on the glass We all saw something different staring out Cameron’s window To me she walked like a figure of clay, her movements like stop motion The filthy ballerina dress of the good witch trailing, her eyes locked upwards to the left A human puppet Cameron saw the enlarged face of his sleep’s killer, licking where her teeth used to be and feeling for a way in I don’t know what anyone else saw, they dare not trust me with it After the song ended we felt the same thing, We heard the shrieks, we have been marked

Blood dripping down from your mouth, the flesh of the unholy Dressed in your burial gown, smiling and floating Oh, you are the only The only one for me Limbs lay torn up on the ground to bless our ceremony Limbs from the trees as our shroud, swirling in the cold breeze Oh, please hold me closely My dark, decaying dream If only I had known that this world is not alone Now I know I’m not, ‘cause I have her, oh She’s my cemetery lady She’s the one that I adore And she will dance with me assuredly Until the night’s finale to all of our punk and goth and metal records And so romantically she whispers the Witchery that enchants me in the graveyard where I told her that I loved her Oh oh oh Remember that song that you played the night we saw our movie You said reminded you of me I felt it travel through me Oh please listen to me you’re all I’ll ever need Sigil of death now engraved in blood that now adorns me The valley reveals a pathway of yellow, red, and orange leaves Don’t tell me you’re sorry You’d do the same for me AND THAT’S WHY I don’t care ‘bout anything that I must leave behind And I know it’s not your fault you’re not alive I’ve been lonely in ways that no one could understand But I’ve never had to explain it to you, to her She’s my cemetery lady She’s the one that I adore And as the night descends upon the land to welcome undead spirits in Then we too will descend upon the living And in a ghoulish wave the flesh we crave we drag into our cave To be devoured struggling and bones chilling

Stomp through cities ‘til the night When you’ll roar in triumph from the fight Oh, defeated and alone You sink in the sea to return home Outmatched in the brawl Still you come to save them all And after everything, you’re met with hands that tear your jaw Though it’s left unseen I know the things you do for me And I know you’ll be back to defend everyone from everything It’s such a story with a shell of spikes and fangs you make your place And I won’t worry when I see you there I know that we’ll be safe And I’m trying to savor the days you gave us with your grace Brush the dirt away from your face And return to battle in the fray Fierce determination, you’re unequaled and tenacious All the way from the Cretaceous, one light I know can illuminate us You’re ferocious with a sweeping kick and you crumble buildings with just one hit Throw your back to one and all All those who challenge you will soon fall You take me back to the times when I was filled with something That’s no longer here inside You bring me back and remind me life can still be touching It can’t all be there behind Full of fear and flame When you’re gone it’s not the same There’s power and a character that no one else contains When faced with the end You fight beside your closest friend The power you possess comes from the things that you defend So please don’t ever go to leave us helpless in our own abyss Because I stopped thinking so long ago that ones like you exist And I’m trying hard to let you know How great I think it is Evil doers come to us from space And once again you’ll come to stop the raid You’re the only one that I think actually cares about anything at all I’m so enthralled as I recall You make your Way from monster island To ground the 3-headed flying And the robot lizard tyrant Even when you face the final war When all others are silent It’s the fiercest dragon giant You’ll destroy them all, Anguirus You will find a way to win the night once more

Oh, the smell of boiling bodies fills the crypt Echoes remain of screams upon their lips And they rejoice in their great wickedness Cooking a feast to replenish Stirring the cauldron with a leg-bone Dancing and rasping the incantations known Only to those who’ve long since fallen Who’ve sold their soul so very long ago Gore obsessive gluttony Whole bodies swallowed hungrily There’s no escape from evil of this kind And though you try to run you cannot save yourself We will find our way to you, my child Carcasses and cackling The carnage of their capturing Enchanted by their beauty and their size And though you try to fight you cannot save yourself Death will find it’s way to all mankind Oh, how many shall be prey to all their charms? Victims impaled upon their bladed arms And when finally full they will transform To their gruesome primary form Bitter smoke permeates the whole tomb The hopelessness that once consumed you dies A cloak of burning flesh surrounds you You see your one chance to survive this night

Death, your cold embrace Is all I’m longing for these days I’ve been fixated on the ways I could bring you to me And all the suffering stays Until the skin all melts away Until the blood evaporates and the bones can be free I saw you on the twelfth In visions where I’m walking with myself I hear you in their song the lovely nights the banshees shriek Death, your cold embrace Hold me so I forever stay Where phantoms can proliferate in your frozen presence The delight on my face when skeletons will walk my way A gathering to welcome me to worlds beyond the grave Oh come to me, my love It hurts so fucking much to just wake up Here without you Oh take me now, my love It hurts so fucking much to just wake up Here without you

Accept your fate, you’re forgotten Give in to the magic that circles the rotten Putrescent remains of your hands Your purpose awaits in this tormented land No choice remains that could haunt us The unresting souls in this necropolis Seek a power found only in you Awaken the green and we still may pull through From these never-ending days that leave us destitute They’d tell me they need me and leave me behind Used for a lifetime then cast right aside They cannot hear me, I’m not of their kind I’m fucking exhausted, I’m ready to die Tell me they need me and leave me behind Drained of my power, drained of my confines Pain every hour, the sheathes and the lines I’m ready to join you, I’m ready to fight I feel coldness and fear But I’m still breathing How could I have come here Without a reason? I’ve returned from the bottom of the depths And I’ll not stay possessed by all the times that I regret Feel the streams of pure necrotic green I welcome them to make my final form complete Accept the fate you’ve begotten A revenant swarm to the heavens this Autumn Your kingdom shall fall to its knees Your people will perish with your lies your misdeeds and This is the judgment you’ve brought them A garden of torn skin and mourning will blossom In unmatched pain, they’ll curse your name No move can be made when you’re completely swallowed by hate In the destruction a world’s left behind Covered in lichen, a lich lord presides Hands strong and glowing, a scepter alight This is our time now, the dead shall arise The hatred above us shall never survive From rot comes the growth of a new world to thrive Free from our tormentors, from our past lives Peace can reign following their great demise

In all my travels I never thought I would meet one such as you With all that happened, I’m sure I survived because you'd seen me through Well I told you then So I’ll repeat it now I love you so much you’d hardly believe What you mean to me Oh, you knock me off my feet But I can’t even sleep thinking of you So hold on to my heart Oh, it still glows in the dark And the words in the stars Are my pledge to you Four years passed and I stayed with you in a place I didn’t know Away from my destination, still you became another home What you mean to me Oh, you knock me off my feet But I can’t even breathe thinking of you You said please don’t leave me Though I know you have to leave It’s just things are so hard when I’m not with you Well I promise you Won’t need to hear this twice: I’ll come back for you If it’s the last thing I do

She’s got a hold on me She’s got a lair of teeth just to make me bleed She’s got a husked out tree She’s got another hundred mouths to feed Pale green things with their morass feet And the lungs don’t move but the creatures breathe And she’s invoking spirits to sing As the spawn unleash in the humid heat Luring people from nearby to feed Unquestioningly doing her bidding for the Pale green beasts eating the deceased Under her spell I’ve no words to speak That queen has a hold of me and she’s breeding That queen stole my soul from me and she’s feeding She’s got her prey in sight She’s got dark black locks and eight dark eyes She’s got a poison bite She’s got a hex she’s gonna use tonight Pale green things with their morass feet And they flock to her immediately And she’s invoking spirits to sing As the spawn unleash in the humid heat Trapping people with dark words she speaks I am powerless under her technique Wherever she goes a banshee shrieks Under her spell I don’t want to be free That queen has a hold of me and she’s breeding That queen took my soul from me and she’s feeding

Gone away the secrets in your stare Yesterday they wrote their ancient language with your hair I convey - the solitude became me yesterday You’ve gone away They found you in the dark Afraid, weak and cold In decay, the sweetest love of mine In your last days, you bled on pictures of me on your shrine From the window, I saw you crawl like a trapped thing through the snow Where do you go? In our bed now I lay to caress your remains Your smell lurks in the caves You’ll stay, yes you’ll stay ‘Cause it haunts me, yes you haunt me I’m the one who saw what you became And you laughed at me, you were laughing When I cried, “This won’t let you escape” Oh I pleaded and I begged you To stay with me and leave this behind ‘Cause they’d take you, yes they found you How you must have suffered that accursed night

Fingernails and teeth long gone This place made me live too long With fraying skin I’ve become Truly abandoned I have watched them all their days I have seen them turn away My children forgot my face Years after I strayed I had beautiful black hair I knew love before I was brought here And though I wish to die The world hears not my cry Alive until they’re satisfied One day came a boy of nine Eyes like I remember mine Then came a man with dark hair “Never must you go there” The makers are heartless, cruel I am the universe’s joke, it’s fool Fed by mold and dew Unable to move Abandoned by the world I knew

These creatures are gentle, they mean us no harm Slashed fully conscious, on the rot farm All of their suffering is unimaginable Cold-hearted world, apathy unfathomable Stripped of their lifespan, of their natural grace A product of the market that you create Unmatched in their sadness, unmatched in their pain Your taste for dominion has made things this way Mothers lay in beds of their own waste Drained as their children are taken away Mighty beasts lay weak and afraid Brought in this world to be slaughtered someday They dare to call this exploitation humane The rot farmer licks the blood from his blade These creatures are clever, loving and full of life They feel what we feel, fear the impending knife Some given cages, some packed in crowded rooms All of them destined to face an untimely doom On and on, the bovine tread Comforting each other, the fowl rest Full of compassion, the boar distressed Rotting from their hooks, their loved ones dead Misery is all they’ve ever known A bloody, rotting farm their only home This is no place for an animal This is unneeded, unnatural

You catch the falling rain To purify your eyes You curse the crawling things Who acidify the skies The life you’ve granted them They’ve chosen to defy One day you know they’ll leave your realm completely dry Hidden for centuries The rage proceeds to grow You won’t take everything, that power’s ours alone I granted life to you, allowed your world to bloom Your poison runs through me, and it shall seal your doom Come forth all dwellers of the sea The time has come to share our agony Pollutants threaten our species There is no place for you to flee The wrath of the undine breed This is our undying creed This is your final reckoning This is the power of the sea OH This night we drown them all In our fervor By killing us they kill Their one hope to endure A hypnotic, heartfelt chant Echoes through the lands Drawing the inhabitants to the siren’s hands Leviathan, I call to you now Bring your promised end Swallowing whole cities with one bite from my demand Creatures undiscovered, You are beckoned from your trench The depths of your terrors unleashed, with blood the land is drenched A great tempest now I summon With waves of my hand Fish will make their homes Amongst the scattered skeletons We must do this for our species There is no place for you to flee The wrath of the undine breed This is our undying creed This is your final reckoning This is the power of the sea This is our strength A world of industrial greed Laid to rest, none remain to grieve The realm that layeth underneath Equal in all their suffering Weeping at what horror they’d done An undine queen remains solemn Blind to our face, deaf to our voice They’ve given us no other choice You catch the falling rain to purify your eyes A world is prospering, a beautiful blue sky The youth bloom healthily, never to realize The world that threatened them, the world that had to die

Everything that I held dear Has been taken from me this year Life is defiled, existence exiled A vile figure manifests from my fears Something has taken my hands A force that I can’t understand A specter of hatred to spoil the sacred Forever tortured, I’m left here My hopelessness knows no bounds Unable to summon a sound Beauty desecrated, a soul devastated I’m fated to suffer alone My lifetime, my burden to bear So many years left of despair How can I stand when they’ve taken my hands And my greatest of joys they’ve ensnared Slow and slithering Cursed eternally Nemesis, I pledge I will be again I will feel them move I will come for you I will retribute I will play the tune At the burial a song was heard that rung through mountains far A song on strings to Venus it sings to call the morning star (Outro) It had been years since I’d seen them, but after I put on my jacket and wandered off into the chilly night I saw her in a Bur Oak. Then I heard her. I did not question it this time. I knew who she called for.
