The idea for this song was thought up by Chris after reading a creepy story online entitled "Cigarettes".
It basically describes a ritual in which you sit in front of a mirror with a lit cigarette staring at your reflection. after smoke has filled the room a Shade or demon will emerge and smoke along with you and answer any question you have about anything (was the moon landing faked, Who really shot JFK, 9/11,).
Before he finishes the cigarette, the reader is instructed to snatch out the eyes of the shade so that he does not try to kill you. from that day on you will have a burn mark on your hand from the shade's eyes bursting into flames, you will always be cold and have terrible nightmares for the rest of your days, all while the shade continues to hunt you with black hell hounds at his command.
a small price to pay for absolute knowledge. :)
