lyrics

Here we sit,
The Scientist and me.
Here we sit,
Next to his machine.
He whispers to me:
"Don't dare move...
Lest you wish to be
The phantasms' food."
The darkness surrounding us
Made them vividly clear.
Like holographic projections
With eyes that leer
In all directions
In simultaneous sync
Pushing my nerves to the
Very brink.
Their anti-aesthetic visage
Is rifled and trifled with flaws.
Though massive in
Size and weight with
Fangs, talons, and claws.
Wafting gracefully
Ignorant to our existence...
That is until my counterpart
Begins to rant with
Maleficence.
The maniac confesses
To the killings of his slaves.
Though, in a manner
Excruciatingly grave.
The machine to our right
Conjured them all.
That's when they seemed to come
Right out of the fucking walls!
Swirling around the terrified servants who
Were all screaming
Inevitably leading to their dooms
The phantom entities
Honed in upon their shrieks
Fell upon them
And never again were they seen.
The gleam
in the Scientist's eye
Was near transparent
Due to the beasts.
Whose grisly stare
Now fell in between...
Myself and the lunatic
Who laughs now
And extends his arm!
Pointing it in my direction...
Inward the phantasms swarm!
They maul the man
Sitting opposite me
And I freeze with shock!
Only after I pull my revolver
And let ring a shot!
The shot, a clang, I faint,
And wake to find my
Counterpart dead.
Now, when I think of his face:
Beasts of Phantasmagoria
Cloud my head!
