Stage Fright 01:54
Take my rage to the stage Let the horror spread It’s only terror If you’re tearing out your hair Don’t close your eyes That fear inside Keeps me alive. Yeah you, right on cue It’s all coming true: All the nightmares That have ever haunted you Don’t close your eyes That fear inside Keeps me alive and gorgeous It’s one hell of a spell That you’re gonna see. You can try to fight But you belong to me. Don’t close your eyes That fear inside Keeps me alive and gorgeous It’s not the fright or the night Messing with your brain It’s only natural To think you can escape I have control If not your soul Just wait and see Now come to me.

The Spirit 04:44
There’s wisdom in the blood The terror and truth, The pain and proof The blessed traveler The sacramental food What form does he take? The Myth and make, The hallow whispers Of the mystery when he awakes. There’s wisdom in the blood Who follows the path? The trail of wrath. The grave procession To the altar and the aftermath. The penitent veil, a sacred wail The cleansing ritual That balances the scale. The spirit of the wood Takes what he will take The evil or the good The fearful or the brave Flesh and blood and bone All will be erased When every breath is still Then the forest takes its place. There’s wisdom in the blood.

They’re just kids, it’s only a game. A typical night Just more of the same Till the children propose That we play a game They’re just kids, it’s only a game. How could I know? They were so well behaved, But the children were bored And they wanted to play They’re just kids, it’s only a game. I closed my eyes And counted to ten Then out went the lights And the terror began They’re just kids, it’s only a game. When I awoke The floor was so cold. The children just laughed as they became bold They tied up my hands, This is only a dream They covered my head, And I cannot scream With nothing to see, The tape on my feet They mock my attempts to escape As their voices repeat, “They’re just kids, it’s only a game.”

Tell me the truth Is this the life you saw for you? Aint it a shame? You followed the rules but lost the game You’re chasing your tail Who told you your dreams were not for sale I wanna buy what you least wanna sell Have I got you yet? Don’t pass up a chance you might regret It’s plain enough to see Nothing worth having comes for free. Place your bid, I’ll get my price All sales are final, now going once. Going twice! I wanna buy what you least wanna sell. No regrets no more strife Sell me your joy, sell me your life

Angelina is, Angelina is, Angelina is in love Angelina takes a photograph And tightens up the hose Guides the needle to the vein And pushed the plunger down I’ll be gentle don’t you worry love Just let your eyelids close I know that you must be afraid But I’ll take your pain away Angelina is, Angelina is, Angelina is in love Angelina rolls in ecstasy As the angel in her ear That only she can hear Says, “I’m so proud of you, my dear “Angelina, they can’t love you Like I love you if I’m gone. Don’t you want me to be happy? “Won’t you kill for me again?” Angelina is, Angelina is, Angelina is in love

The Pack 00:45
Follow the leader where he goes and when After those people we thought were our friends Cold and abandoned He led us as one When they return for our food and our fun We will hunt them We will find where they sleep And the children they keep And our bellies we’ll fill On each one that we kill We will bark and we’ll bite And we’ll chase through the night And we’ll snarl and sneer And we’ll laugh at their fear And they’ll beg us for mercy.

about

In October 2021, I challenged myself to write 13 songs based on a series of books released under the "Paperbacks from Hell" moniker. Or to be more specific, the songs were inspired solely on the descriptions on the back cover. I never read the books, and only finished six songs. These are those.
