Sleep, baby sleep tonight, travel through shining woods.
Sleep, baby sleep tonight, you are safe and sound.
Don't you worry, the wolf won't come. I will stop the evil, the monsters of the night, are far away.
NO, we are not safe,
the night took away our defenses,
leaving us naked, at the mercy of our worst fears, our deepest woe.
Silently laughing at our weakness.
Things change with every breath,
cursing the light of reason, but I can't do anything.
Things change with every breath,
showing the power of our fantasies.
fairies become devils, lakes become marshes,
the flowers fade, all bleeds.
so.. the abomination of your creation,
comes from your deepest thoughts.
All we see is you. All we see is me.
The things are changing one more time, our worst fears are collapsing into something we can't control.
NO, I cannot be here, we cannot be here,
my own eyes are lying to me,
this rotten world, this putrescent landscape,
dead friends, and burning fears.
the Hell in Earth, the polluted Heaven.
moving to the cold Sky, moving into the Void.
NO, I wanna see.. I wanna see the light, this place will consume us.
Naked in the glittering void, screaming to the stars.
Aeons like minutes, billion eyes pierce our flesh,
without hope, without escape.
Screaming to nothing, we're trapped in our minds.
Breathe, baby breathe for me.
Wake up, please wake me up.
I see the light, now we can be free, the chains of this nightmares are broken NOW.

The New Jersey outfit cast a gothic pall over hard-hitting hardcore, leaving us with a deliciously murky set of pit-starters. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2018
