"Cackling shadows breathe their blackness on my heart
And from those curses came the call to crawl down to the dark.
A fallen woman came upon me in that night
And with her horrid glee infected me with dreadful dreams that robbed me of my might.
Melting shapes of tangled bodies writhe
Twisted limbs & vacant eyes
Somewhere in the dark I found a door
I left her trapped there evermore...

Lead: Bruss

There's something watching from the sky
Behind the black side of the moon there lurks a constant eye
The tendrils of the night breathe into me new life
Don't sweep me up yet, Rusty Scythe"
