about

Inspired by "The Outsider" by H. P. Lovecraft

lyrics

Haunting me, echoes from my past
When I saw my face gleaming in screen of broken glass
How they screamed, I'll never be the same
How they ran, an outsider I remain

No man, an island is my name
No land, the void from which I came
I know, it ever is my home
On this earth I walk alone

So cleanse me in the balm of night
For I feel I'm falling again
Dance with ghouls in the moonlight
Amongst carrion
Play by day in the catacombs
For I know that light's not for me
Save that of the moon
The sun's dim effigy

You brand me the outsider
So cast me aside
You brand me the outsider
I fly from your binds

So yield to my will, cold reflection
And shed clammy skin of ghouls
Bear this mask of lead to seem human
And play the mirror for a fool
But I feel in my rotting bones
They see right through

So cast me out cast me down cast me aside
Force me in darkened corners to hide
Tell me I've no place on this earth
I'll take it with mirth cause I know I'll remake the world
