Lyrics
Intro
My new roommate,
Is Terror Incarnate.
She sits atop a throne,
In the center of what was once....
My home.
Verse 1
The floor cracks beneath her presence
A fever climbs within my marrow
Candle smoke thick with ancient musk
She paints sigils in the curdling air
Seated at the desk where I wrote
Perusing my horror stories like a menu
Tasting every word I put to paper
Amused, eyes closed with delight
Then rising, presents me with the offering
The silver can turning black beneath her gaze
Did she come because I called?
Is she smiling at my unease?
She places corrupted synthetic citrus to my lips
White Monster : the drink of the Outer Gods
“Drink deep, let us bloom...” she whispers
Laughter growls low in her throat...
Threat or promise?
Chorus:
SHE IS HERE
The void is born
“I am here!”
Cast down the stars
SHE IS HERE
Drink from the White Monster
“I have come!”
Verse 2:
If I drink, I’ll be dragged to hell...
Yet still I pop the tab
It hisses like a curse
White can sweating in my grasp
"Thirst first... just a single sip..."
Whispers something in my brain
One swallow: the air grows heavy
It tastes of iron, tastes of pain...
My mind goes blank:
There is only her
She speaks my name
The walls exhale
Second swig, jaw tight, body shakes
She says:
“Just another swallow and we’re done..."
(we’re one)
My heartbeat kicks like an animal in a cage
She takes the blackening can from my hand
And finishes it like a black sacrament
I see poison lipstick on the rim of the can
“You prayed for something darker...”
And then she takes my hand
Chorus:
SHE IS HERE
The void is born
“I am here!”
Cast down the stars
SHE IS HERE
Drink from the White Monster
“I have come!”
Brief Instrumental
Bridge:
My home is now a portal, a pathway
A pocket of unreality outside of fate
All hail the Empress of the Breach.
She smiles kindly:
And sings my thoughts
Like a favorite song
“If you run,” she shrugs,
“You will still run to me.”
Final Chorus: grand finale, maximalist, cathedral-scale
SHE IS HERE
The void is born
“I am here!”
Cast down the stars
SHE IS HERE
Drink from the White Monster
I am HERE!
SHE IS HERE
The void is born
“I am here!”
Cast down the stars
SHE IS HERE
Drink from the White Monster
“I have come!”
“I have come.”
