about

Another excellent Skeptik & Nyte Shade collaboration

lyrics

Look at the wonderful creatures, fabulous in abhorrence
They dance cadaverous, condemned as blasphemous
They stand apart from the average avarice
Connect the dots as we walk in spaces cavernous
We've fallen away from grace, it's unattainable
We'll drip away like condensation to the table
I know you can't sleep, you leave your closet cracked
But you don't see us peeking out beneath the laundry stack
You wanna strike a deal? I'll be Mephistopheles
The ghost is off its rocker, the wolf is off its leash
The world is full of monsters; it's full of rotten teeth
So follow me and fall asleep, we've got a lot to see
So far beneath what is tangible and below
We can descend through your blemished, foul and profane soul
I know it's all surreal, but this is not a dream
It's not a whisper or a murmur, it's a fucking scream

Scream

I can see your darkness, it's glowing from your eyes
These phantoms swim around you, they live and grow inside
I can feel your darkness, i hear it's shrieking cries
I can taste your hunger, your thin veneer can't hide

I think it's
I think it's
I think it's
I think it's
I think it’s time to fuckin
Free yourself from the chains of such an oppressive light
Embrace the dark which engulfs everything within its sight
Don’t play as innocent
We can see what you really are
A false martyr making praise to a fallen star
We were all born sick
And commanded to be well
But within the sickness we found heaven exists inside this hell
We’ve left it all behind
We won’t look back again
We are reborn in the form of something lovecraftian
Come now with all the lepers
The whores and all the fuckin filth
Free yourself from all
The torment, pain anguish and guilt
See the cracks inside the world
And watch its pedals wilt
Feel the power shift
As the world above begins to tilt
Cracked tiles
Black smiles
Gnashing teeth bite through the veil
The light subsides
Blackness fills our eyes
Smiling now hand in hand as our darkness prevails

I can see your darkness, it's glowing from your eyes
These phantoms swim around you, they live and grow inside
I can feel your darkness, i hear it's shrieking cries
I can taste your hunger, your thin veneer can't hide

I can see your darkness, it's glowing from your eyes
These phantoms swim around you, they live and grow inside
I can feel your darkness, i hear it's shrieking cries
I can taste your hunger, your thin veneer can't hide
