1.
Monster Lord 02:46
My kin all in the ground, they say I am the last A journey to Glamis to claim my haunted past I am the last earl of the noble Grimstead line I'll be the first to end this curse before they strike the thirteenth chime Deformed birth Entombed in earth Family curse The rightful Lord was born deformed & locked away The family curse keeps him alive yet to this day With torch & sword I journey towards The Monster Lord Ancestral nightmare whispers in its foul lair Backward prayers to ensnare a distant heir
2.
She haunts the causeways where twisted gargoyles kneel Her beauty cool & cruel as Barbara Steele Black hounds escort her through the Hall of Living Masks The black-veiled widow dreads her bloody task A haunted seance, ectoplasma fills the air The hunchbacked priest recites his desperate prayers Giallo nightmares, chained & cast into the slime In Eastman Color primes blood looks divine
3.
There's something watching from the sky Behind the black side of the moon there lurks a constant eye A fallen woman came upon me in that night And with her horrid glee infected me with dreadful dreams that robbed my might Melting shapes of tangled bodies writhe Twisted limbs & vacant eyes Somewhere in the dark I found the door I left her trapped there evermore There's something watching from the sky... The tendrils of the night breathe into me new life Don't sweep me up yet, Rusty Scythe...
4.
Consumed by dark obsession I composed a morbid poem An attempt to conjure fears giving them unearthly form Stanzas held the secret of the resurrection spells For a spectral haunter hidden where all superstition dwells Before it had been nothing, an idea without birth Now my words have brought it crawling out of legendry to lurk the earth... No way to undo that this rotting dream came true Promethean advent occurred & brought life to The Hungerer...
5.
When nightfall calls I creep & crawl to harvest her old bones I mount the stairs from midnight's lair to sound these morbid tones When nightfall calls we creep your halls, our shadows at your door There is a grave-side table saved for you in Rigour Morgue No escape from the secrets of sleep, I think you know what I mean When the moon lights the way to the door you can join me in the morgue Blades drop at midnight, cunning hands will not change his fate So plead with me some more down here in my morgue We creep from the shadows we call home From there, the secret stairway carved in stone When nightfall comes we may just try your door There is a grave-side table saved for you in Rigour Morgue When nightfall calls I creep & crawl to harvest her old bones I mount the stairs from midnight's lair to sound these morbid tones When nightfall calls we creep your halls, our shadows at your door There is a grave-side table saved for two in Rigour Morgue
