Erebus

Pre-Verse 1

Outside in the freezing air

Under waning light

I taste the dark nimbus

Floating from your mouth

I can feel it

I feel it

It's going down

Right now

Verse 1

Don’t abandon fear

When you enter here

Our sacrament demands

To be afraid

Don't look away

Or feel ashamed

When the moment comes

Remember

I am

Always

With you

Pre-Chorus

The weight of your hand

Takes me high

Out of my limbs

The spell around your lips

Makes me feel

Like I could scream

The cadence of your wrist

Lets me know

That now's the time

Chorus

I can see there is

A dark side in you

To which we make

This sacrifice

I can see there is

A dark side in you

My body aches

To feel inside

Pre-Verse 2

As birds of prey

Hover in the darkness

To witness you unbound

Gets my idle heart beating

I can feel it

You feel it

We are the night

It's going down

Right now

Verse 2

Like the story told

Of the rains of Zeus

Will their tears of gold

Seduce the Underworld?

If the Haze appears

We'll drift away

And disappear

Into the waves

We have created

Are you with me?

Pre-Chorus

The weight of your hand

Takes me high

Out of my limbs

The spell around your lips

Makes me feel

Like I could scream

The cadence of your wrist

Lets me know

That now's the time

Chorus

I can see there is

A dark side in you

To which we make

This sacrifice

I can see there is

A dark side in you

My body aches

To feel inside

Bridge

I can feel it

You feel it

We are the night

Spoken

It's been 83 weeks since they found her in the woods.

Cause of death: undetermined.

The local sheriff found her body

Covered underneath dirt, foliage.

Objects of the occult hanging from the trees.

She's been exposed to the elements so long that

Her ebony skin had turned sapphire.

It's like she looked up at the moon

And the moon looked back at her.

Phantasmagoric

As she lies naked, majestic.

Looking like a mythical blue phoenix.

Frozen for eternity.

The news reports say that

She was just your typical ordinary small town girl.

Central High School valedictorian.

Aspiring singer.

Worked the weekends as a waitress.

Of course everyone had heard the rumors.

Even her closest friends have divulged

To the detectives that

She had a crazy side to her.

A side to her

That, well...

She was the type to fuck around with Ouija.

Light some candles

And spin her records backwards

Hoping to make contact.

The media and the public can't help but wonder

"How did a city girl like herself

End up the victim of some

Ritualistic murder in some backwoods?"

So called detectives.

Paranormal investigators.

People from all over have been coming around

Asking questions.

Driving up and down the 37th parallel.

Spending nights in caves with their spirit boxes.

Channeling "ghost" and what not.

Some even claimed to have seen

A lady in white walking the backroads of (edited)

Out in the middle of Nowhere.

For a very, very long time

No one could seem to find the answer to the question of

"Who killed Jennifer Dahmer?"

The funny thing is

As I'm laying low inside of this nightclub

I can see her right now.

She stands out from all the Others.

Illuminated by this neon sign.

"All Evil Things"

Sipping Cactus Brandy.

Looking like a Warhol painting.

Thick smoke lingering in the air.

Her cigarette glowing as her

Sweetheart High School co-conspirator

Is walking through the door.

I see her there and

I can't help but wonder

If the question that nobody knows

They should ask is,

"Who did Ms. Dahmer kill to end up in place like this?

With Me?"

Don't abandon fear all who enter here.

Beyond the beyond.

Into the long dark trails of the unknown.

No other greater Others

Than we

Who reside on this side of Nowhere.

To the drifters from 13th.

Can you see me?

Will I see you?

Will I find you here too...

Lost dreamer?
