  • Orange and black take me back to Halloween
    I've given to the blind as you can see
    Gasoline runs thru my veins
    So don't you mess with me
    I couldn't tame that beast with a handful of meat

    Just wait till my robe falls at my feet
    Cold and dilated like my memories
    Strange voices in my head
    Who could they be
    It's the master of disguise and he's breaking me

    You will find spirits never rise
    Without warning
    Feel your fate as you come alive
    They're here to take you home

    Crashing through the walls
    You're the one I want to see
    Bent all up on a moon-soaked night
    Death is riding with me

    Dripping blood with hell froze at my feet
    Use a razor blade to cut some lines
    Because now I'm going to speed

    You will find spirits never rise
    Without warning
    Feel your fate as you come alive
    They're here to take you Writer/s: BRANN TIMOTHY DAILOR, TROY JAYSON SANDERS, WILLIAM BREEN KELLIHER, WILLIAM BRENT HINDS

  • Nïk from FranceLyrics are a bit confusing for a non native English speaker!
    Still, they convey lots of Halloween imagery (I could even relate some lines to the legendary Carpenter's film)!
    I'm pretty sure the Prince of Darkness Himself would enjoy those lines ;-)

    The song itself is an absolute (if overlooked) masterpiece to me: many harmonic and rhytmic curiosities within a 70s-ish speed package! Served of course by extremely skilled musicians.

    Masterpiece I'm telling you!
