lyrics

They’re coming,
From where I do not know,
They show unnatural appetites,
For human blood and so,
With mandibles and tentacles and hexadactyl limbs,
They squeeze between the spaces in my head and under skin,

I’m afraid to move,
I can only watch,
And worse than this,
I think I’m out of scotch.

It’s dark now,
Or else my eyes are blind,
But still - I find I feel them,
They’re waiting now behind,
Every piece of furnishing; harrowing and fierce,
Eyes like milky planetoids, hands like racks of spears,

Wrapped ‘round my ankles,
They crawl across my crotch,
And worse than this,
I think I’m out of scotch.

It’s bad now,
But I’ve bested much worse,
Traversed in various vehicles,
I still resist the hearse,
Confidence, intelligence, holy words and flame,
Held back many entities surely half as tame.

There’s a curse upon me,
I remember every touch,
And worse than this,
I think I’m out of scotch.

I fire a few rounds,
But fear the last shot will,
Buy me little time,
But I found another bottle.
So everything is fine.

First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'. In line with their now characteristic sound and influences, October Burns Black deliver a great collection of tracks whose spell is impossible to resist. Classy and classic gothic rock at it's best.
