Gatecreeper - Dark Superstition lyrics



Tracks



01. Dead Star

Crestfallen angel
Bathed in a faded glow
A tragic whisper in the void
Transient just like a distant dream
A fleeting fire but burning bright

Look up at the sky
Glimmering diamonds against the night
Arcane cosmic embers burning
Fading away

Dead star

Fluorescent beauty
Cascading luminant
Seraphic smile in the abyss
Radiant, I watch you disappear
Gone in a blaze of trailing light

02. Oblivion

Mysterious eyes in the doorway staring back
Who's that lurking behind me?
What for?

Alienated
I'm on the outside looking in

Turn back the hands of time
Violently shaking
Wake up
Living in disbelief
This can't be how I lose everything I love

Oblivion

03. The Black Curtain

I'm cursed to wander slowly
Aimlessly suffering
Misunderstood while living, lost in death
I smell the flickering candles
I hear your voice
Your hands reach through the darkness and set me free

Undead
Unliving
Lost soul trapped in a nightmare
Peel back the black curtain, say my name
Tear through the veil

So give guidance… bring me home, Soothsayer
Gaze into the unknown
Pry open the underworld
Your touch breaks through the boundaries of life and death

A dormant flame rekindled
An evocation breathing life into my soul
Brought back from the wasteland from the great beyond

04. Masterpiece Of Chaos

Fragmented labyrinth of seduction
Web of death and decay
Crawling terror trapping it's prey
Suspended in the shards of glass

Broken mirror, shattered soul
A masterpiece of chaos left behind

Broken mirror, shattered soul
Casting evil shadows in your mind

05. Superstitious Visions

Lose yourself in torment
Self-destruction
Let loose without reservations
Feel your heart start beating
Break free
Drink deep from cup of life

Throw the dice
Spin the wheel
Black my lungs
Turn me on

Darkness in the neon sanctuary
Controlled chaos
Neverending search for simple pleasure
Run wild
Drink deep from the cup of life

Throw the dice
Spin the wheel
Black my lungs
Tempt me with desire

Luck, its supernatural
Let it go, its only natural

Pleasure and pain
It's heads or tails
Numbing your mind

Risk, take a chance
Touch my soul
Make me feel alive

06. A Chilling Aura

Stalked by a chilling aura
Unholy figure roams through the night
Out of the darkness he creeps
He inches forward
Sealing your fate

Cold ruler of the underworld
Grim harvester of souls
Pestilence riding on a pale white horse
Dark messenger of death

Eyes glow with otherworldly light from the shadows
Piercing your hurt
Footsteps are silent as he comes ever closer
Sealing your fate

Spectral silhouette

Scythe forged from bones of the damned
Stealth weapon of doom

07. Caught In The Treads

Possessed by the deceased
Bloodshed will set us free
Past battles lost fuel the machines

Through smoke and the flames
Scanning for targets below
Light drains from the night as fortifications collapse

Grooves in the soil
We ride in the iron beast
Lost fallen souls trapped in the steel

Fields of the dead lay at our feet
War torn skies are bleeding red
Tanks roll on forever
All thats left behind are enemies caught in the treads

Crushing their bones as the tanks roll on
One by one

Time will tell tales of glory
All thats left behind are enemies caught in the treads

08. Flesh Habit

Every night I need to feed
Burning like a fire inside my veins, insane
In the light of the full moon in the dark of the night
Melancholic passion fuels my thirst after midnight

Driven by lust in the graveyard mist, insatiable
Shedding my skin, howling at the moon
Consumed by an overwhelming urge
Regret, the hunger
Flesh habit

Hungry for affection, yearning for your touch
Battling the beast within in vain
Every time I get anxious, every time I'm in love
Nothing satisfies my needs for so long, always searching

A torturous obsession with your blood
Ravenously feasting on your skin
It's dripping down my chin

The blood is driving me insane

Desire, the hunger
Flesh habit

09. Mistaken For Dead

Thrown into exile
Eternal slumber

Stiff, cold to the touch
Silently sleeping
Laid in the morgue

Still, no sign of life
Forgotten by the living
I'm left to rot

Dirt pours in around me
Still alive, mistaken for the dead
I knock on the coffin
Still alive, under the earth

10. Tears Fall From The Sky

Sunlight never arrives
Permanent darkness beckons me
A velvet tragedy
Screams of agony ring through the night

Swallowed by the tide
Lost in the fog
Storm cloud over oceans of grief
Dragged down to the depths like a stone

Tears fall from the sky
