about

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. :)

We all thought it was a great story and we decided to write a song about it. it turned out awesome!

lyrics

Wretched face stares back at me
What do you want
do you hold the answers to what i desire
Feel the horror creep inside
this face i see
it is not me

Unholy ritual summons his form
Forbidden knowledge is mine to behold
Standing among him I fear for my soul
Every breath danger grows ever more

Eyes of fire burn in my hands
I am safe but now i fear I've cursed My soul
Bound to endure life Alone
Till the end of all I know


Visions dark they haunt my dreams
Terror and death my salvation
Unending nightmares I see
curse on my head never ending

Hunted by demons I fear for my soul
Frozen forever the curse takes its hold
Now he seeks his retribution
hunting me until he can reclaim my soul
I'm forever lost....
