Cold Embrace 03:57
If you listen late at night you may hear Something call out in the darkness, it’s frightening, but do not fear These things do not mean you any harm They just need to feel something warm And try Not to cry For your howls Will give no comfort to these guys These ghouls just need some resolution for themselves Eternally seeking absolution from their hell They’ll reach out with their bony hands Stretching out over these hallowed lands And we’ll run And they’ll chase There’s no escape Hand in hand let’s meet our fate And I know it seems wrong to Take the devil’s side But you must understand and Open up your mind Evil comes in many shapes on this Earth The undead they need love just like anyone else To feel that care, to caress your bare skin Open that door, they’ll walk in. And take you down Underneath the ground Hold you close and say “I’ll keep you till judgement day" And I know it seems wrong to Take the devil’s side But you must understand We’ll all burn for our pride

In This Home 02:26
Take all the antiques from my home cause they’re shuttering and moving on their own. At night they wail like a tempest gale, and I can barely contain my fear, so take all the antiques from my home. At night I see some shadow hauntingly lapse like a memory, or a visionary glimpse over the sea, and it’s killing me. Close all the windows in my home so I will make no mistake those movements are on their own. That passing touch, that shivering lust at knowing something else is living with me in this home. Just when I get to sleep that's when I hear those footsteps start to creep, and as the hair rises up on my arm; I cannot move for fear that it means harm. I don’t think I’ve done any wrong, but this lingering sense death won’t be long is starting to affect me. Why does this spirit haunt me? I swear since she passed I’ve lived alone, but now I hear her voice seep from the phone. So pour that gasoline onto my home, if it won’t let me be, then I’ll just roam. I’d rather live with nothing than to see this drive me mad, so pour that gasoline onto my home.

I crashed my car On the way to your wake The snow was falling on my face And by the time they pulled me out You were buried below And I'm sorry that I miss you But i don't know what to do These high school yearbooks preserve our youth See I'll grow old But you'll stay the same Does that hardly seem fair? My wife, she worries That I think too much about the past But I know it's gonna haunt us some day And when it does And the TV spits out ghosts I'll see you engraved on my eyes And I'm sorry that I miss you But I don't know what to do These high school yearbooks preserve our youth See I'll grow old But you'll stay the same Does that hardly seem fair? And I'm scared That someday I'll meet you there And it won't be as great as what I'd thought See I've changed, but you stayed the same I know it sucks

I was just nineteen, full of life When I scattered all my brains At the time it seemed right to do But now I know it was insane When they lowered my into the ground My mother cried out my name But there’s nothing she could do. Then I felt some grace try to pull me up But I fell half-way down When your skin turn to dirt When your thoughts turn to air When you see your own body disappear When there’s no more use for prayer When you see all will come to be Infinity Sometimes I mistake my rotting lungs As fighting movements for life But my heart beats no longer My brain thinks no longer Of existential strife And it all seems Rather fruitless now. I’m a ghost, nothing more now. Boo.

I’m screaming like a banshee I’m tearing through the sound waves I’m digging up some old graves Looking for my love I’m shouting like a madman Look dumber than a caveman I'd swear on my old man Just to see her face Ooooh! I’m screaming like a banshee Missing parts like an amputee I’d usurp any queen bee If it meant she’d be back with me I’m crying like a sad fool Doesn’t know what to do Think I’m going cuckoo God I miss you Ooooh! It’s been so long since I’ve seen her face I’m stripped and spent, washed up disgrace I’m a vagabond, lost in babylon She used to hear me sing Now it only stings Unless... I wailing like a banshee Until she’s here with me. Filled up on whiskey, I’ll wait by the willow tree She’s not here but she’ll be back I know this for a fact Unless my heart suffers some attack I’ll wait for the final act Ooooh!

Psycho 02:37
Norman just wanted his mother’s love Is that so wrong? But when he killed all those pretty girls I feared he might have gone Pyscho Way up that hill in that motel He’d show them to their rooms Then he’d show them the meaning of hell His madness in full bloom Psycho Do you think he feels a little bad After all he’s done? Can he even feel a little bad After all he’s done? Pyscho

Ghoul. 03:03
These ghouls Are blowing on my neck Clawing for a check To keep them off my back Be sure If I don't they'll never go And they'll cackle in my ear Remind me of all I regret These aren't my friends Just a means, to an end Just a fool's idea of a life And they cry every night When I flip on the light Atlas held up the weight The whole wide world in freight Just to prove he could But I'm not strong as that dude I'll play an interlude But I'll never take the stage I'm a joke over told I'm a line most forgot I'm lingering on the tip of all your tongues And I'm sure I don't taste good But be sure to knock on wood I could be a ghoul soon.

Well as I take a draw Of the blood from her throat Pools in a red colored moat As the sun rises now I hide in umbra and shade The darkness comes to my aid I sneak back underground Wait till the next night rounds And I will strike my prey And take their lives for my own It's all I’ve got You’ll try to hunt me down The throngs will accrue Little do you know, I knew love once too These worms should eat all my flesh I’ve been dead for so long Older than rhyme and song Now I feel next to nothing Except desire for more A monster to abhor Although I cannot regret I must exist in sunset And I will float on by on my Pitch-black wings through the sky With my ghastly sigh After all this time I forgot how to be like you Is it all my fault? Or are you cursed too? Spread my arms Feel that burn from the sun as it’s coming now Take me away Higher than I’ve ever flown Or deeper than I’ve gone I don’t care I can't live by blood anymore.

Goblin Dance 03:47
I once knew a girl The color of the world But they took her in the night For the Goblin Dance The moon’s rising now The moon is rising now Soon it will commence The Goblin dance The fire’s rising high In the sky and in I Waiting at the edge Of the Goblin dance They throw in their prey By the flame my girl lay I cannot turn away From the Goblin dance The chatter and they pray I wait in the fray They bob and they sway Starts the Goblin dance I step out of the night By my lady in the light I’m ready to pay the price Do the Goblin Dance
