Watching Eye 05:56
WATCHING EYE Under a pale moon, in a demon light I saw the city for the first time In ghastly marbles, towers and streets I could understand a tongue unknown to me So when I woke up I did not feel the same Within my soul was growing something strange: “Where is my place? It’s not a dream! How can I prove that is reality?” One night I realized to have a bodily form Listening news about Inutos horde Merciless creatures, squat and yellow fiends Coming from west, they soon would be here To the watchtower they sent me Eyes of the army I was going to be Then from a roof hole I saw its tempting light Whispered evil, repeated in my mind Shining through the night Shining through the night… Deceiver Creep inside my mind - Oh no! Bearing some strange message that has been lost "Slumber, watcher, till the spheres, Six and twenty thousand years Have revolv'd, and I return - To the spot where now I burn. Other stars anon shall rise - To the axis of the skies; Stars that soothe and stars that bless - With a sweet forgetfulness: Only when - my round is o'er - Shall the past - disturb thy door." HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT (1920-1937) I struggled in vain against my sleep While the Star was grinning at me Around me I saw creatures from beyond They laughed at me, the city would fall Those shadows said: “It’s all in your mind Where Polaris shines high there’s only snow and ice No man can lives in that realm of cold Except the squat and yellow ones, called Esquimaux” Shining through the night Shining through the night… Deceiver Creep inside my mind - Oh no! “Now they have arrived!”

LADY OF USHER Riding through desolate country I found myself in front of the mansion I looked upon the grim walls before me In my heart grew a sense of depression My host spoke to me with shine in his eyes RODERICK USHER: “In this wretched madness, my friend, I shall die!” I saw her slowly passing by I saw her slowly disappear Deep down under – A fire burning day by day Deep down under – Her life was wasted away One night he told me the lady had died We brought her down into the vault In her face a lingering smile We screwed the lid and secured the door Late in the night of the seventh day He entered my room and told me - RODERICK USHER: “You’ve seen it?” RODERICK USHER: “I hear her rising from the grave I hear her footsteps on the stairs” Deep down under – She struggles in the dark Deep down under – Can you hear the beating heart? RODERICK USHER: “Oh I have heard it, so many hours, so many days I dared not speak, what we have done, we buried her alive! Buried alive Soon she'll be here, where I can flee? She’s without the door!” With a moaning cry the white lady fell, embraced they died From that chamber I fled away While fell the House of Usher Deep down under – She struggles in the dark Deep down under – Can you hear the beating heart?

The Strain 07:33
THE STRAIN Silent streets in the dying town Staring windows of black void Dreary strokes from a ghoulish belfry Hideous figures gaze at me Sly, glassy eyes that never shut Unseen oddity inside the maze in the dark Out to the Reef Chanting in the dead of night Can you hear them calling? Drunk man says: “I have seen them Dropping things down in the water The Deep-Ones granted richness In return of young blood” “Swarms, everywhere, rattling our doors Shots and screams, they come to claim what’s theirs” Out to the Reef Chanting in the dead of night Can you hear them calling? Here they come Bastard spawn Here they come Shadow falls I can hear in the darkness Creaking stairs, secret footsteps In bleak alleys they chase me I must hide, but I can see Coming from the Reef Swimming in the dead of night Under the moonlight they rise Here they come Bastard spawn Shadow falls Dreams come to show me what suggested by the mirror We shall dive down in the depths and dwell in glory forever

I Am 05:07
I AM So here I am, in lonely madness Haunted by memories of fear and sadness In candle light, between damp stones Old books have taught me what is beyond these walls Dreaming – Dreaming the world blessed by sunlight Waiting – Waiting for something that has to come Rising – Rising from darkness to reach the unknown Realized - I am - Insane Demons – Moonlight - Pain Now I’ve realized - who really I am - it drives me insane I ride with demons - under the moonlight - away from pain I will be free! Climbing black rocks, wings I can’t see The moon appears to me, it’s like in my dreams Out in the graveyard and across the meadows I reach a castle, oh the light flames from the windows Dreaming – Dreaming the world blessed by sunlight Waiting – Waiting for something that has to come Rising – Rising from darkness to reach the unknown Realized - I am - Insane Demons – Moonlight - Pain Now I’ve realized - who really I am - it drives me insane I ride with demons - under the moonlight - away from pain So let me in! I step in that joyful room, sudden falls fear Screaming in terror all of them flee, something is near Shade of decay, stares in my eyes I try to leave from this nightmare that I recognize Realized - I am - Insane Demons – Moonlight - Pain Now I’ve realized - who really I am - it drives me insane I ride with demons - under the moonlight - away from pain I am a stranger - I’m an outsider - no more a man Now I know it - because my fingers - have touched a glass The monster is me

FLESH AND SOUL A MAN: I remember everything, that day they came for me The frightened people did nothing, while that stuff passed through my skin My body was on fire, things crawling beneath the skin A sheet pulled up over my face, but I could not move or speak THE BOKOR: Now you die, in a way - Death is not the end They will mourn in pain - They will never guess THE BOKOR: I sent away your ti-bonanj A MAN: I have heard the dull sound of the soil that fell over me Inside the coffin the dark surrounds and it’s really hard to breathe THE BOKOR: You’re trapped in dark and cold - The Uncle is moving for loot Then the night will come - And so Tonton Macoute THE BOKOR: I sent away your ti-bonanj THE BOKOR: Now I own your soul – A MAN: I’m no more free THE BOKOR: You’ll be my slave – A MAN: My fate is so mean THE BOKOR: Enter their dreams – THE BOKOR/A MAN: And make them scream THE BOKOR: Puffer fish, toad and worms and child’s brain, unearthed from his grave Papa Legba listen, unlock the door, let the spirits hear my call Baron Samedì, black as ink, would you like something to drink? Grant his soul to my will, it is naught, in my web he will be caught THE BOKOR: Wake up, my friend Cries echo in the burial ground You get hurt trying to get out But I’m here for you, so don’t worry about it You've nosed into what you were not concerned You have been warned, but now who cares? Working hard in my sugar plantation You’ll have time to drift into damnation You better not hope to escape from me I rule your thoughts, I walk through your dreams By now you no longer belong to the living Here, you’ll see, Death is only the beginning THE BOKOR: I sent away your ti-bonanj THE BOKOR: Now I own your soul – A MAN: I’m no more free THE BOKOR: You’ll be my slave – A MAN: My fate is so mean THE BOKOR: Enter their dreams – THE BOKOR/A MAN: And make them scream
