Close your eyes and softy dream a gentle lullaby
Enjoy it now it won't last long before it's gone
With each tick tock of the clock like a beating drum
It lures you to my side where we will danse macabre
In the Witching Hour — It's when I come to play
In the Witching Hour — It's when I come to play
Run into the night — Woaa-oo-oh!
It's when you come to play
Run into the night — Woaa-oo-oh!
It's when you come to play
Don't you know there's no escaping from my leering eye?
You act so cold but I can sense you like to play with fire
With each step by step you creep towards my open arms
I love it when you play it coy before the mayhem starts
In the Witching Hour — It's when I come to play
In the Witching Hour — It's when I come to play
Run into the night — Woaa-oo-oh!
It's when you come to play
Run into the night — Woaa-oo-oh!
It's when you come to play

Halloween.
You're a sweet piece of candy, all wrapped up in leather
Follow me.
We'll take a walk through the darkness and contemplate forever
Itsy Bitsy, a little bite inside her. Tell me are you ready to play?
Dressed in black, my Trevosa suicider.
Riot all night and sleep all day.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - I'll teach you all you need to learn.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - Now tell me are you ready to burn?
Wanna see. All that awaits you behind the velvet veil of discretion?
Royalty. You'll be the next in my bloodline awaiting succession.
Itsy Bitsy, a little bite inside her. Tell me are you ready to play?
Dressed in black, my Trevosa suicider.
Riot all night and sleep all day.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - I'll teach you all you need to learn.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - Now tell me are you ready to burn?
Hey girl, A baby bat is born! Welcome to the fold!
Hey girl, A baby bat is born! Welcome to the fold!
Hey girl, Now you're free! Oooh!
You'll find this party never gets old! Oooh!
Listen up now, wanna hear a secret?
Come closer
I’ll tell you if you mean it
Listen up now, wanna hear a secret?
Come closer
I’ll tell you if you beg me
Itsy Bitsy, a little bite inside her. Tell me are you ready to play?
Dressed in black, my Trevosa suicider.
Riot all night and sleep all day.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - I'll teach you all you need to learn.
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh - Now tell me are you ready to burn?

Persephone
Where did you go?
Persephone
Lost inside the underworld
Persephone
Where did you go?
Persephone
Left us on this sterile earth
Down to hell, the smoldering remnants
Barren fields
You’re dead and gone
Persephone
Where did you go?
Persephone
Lost inside the underworld
Persephone
Where did you go?
Persephone
Left us on this sterile earth
Down to hell, the smoldering remnants
Barren fields
You’re dead and
Cursed forever in neglect
We all despair
You're dead and gone

These Monsters

Once upon a time there was a little girl with toys in her attic
It could have been nature
It could have been nurture
Perhaps it was a little of both
Consumed by her inner demons at such an early age
She vowed to spread her madness like a disease
Maybe then others would understand
Your passion's so arterial
You've given me empirical evidence
It's gonna be murder just to play my part
In letting you have your way
No goblins
What'd you say
No spirits
From far away
No zombies will ever hold a candle to your hobbies
No vampires
to take a bite
No werewolves
to stalk the night
Your mother and your father sure have raised some hell
These monsters
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
These monsters
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs, no claws, no snapping jaws
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs
No claws
These monsters got nothing on you
And oh, how she shared her special gifts with everyone she could
Willing and unwilling alike
Her charm was matched only by her twisted cunning
Her allure was all but inescapable
And her thralls all fell in line one by one
It's a little criminal
The scars you leave are subliminal
The way you feather your nest with bones
Should have made me run away
No goblins
What'd you say
No spirits
From far away
No zombies will ever hold a candle to your hobbies
No vampires
to take a bite
No werewolves
to stalk the night
Your mother and your father sure have raised some hell
These monsters
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
These monsters
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs, no claws, no snapping jaws
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs
No claws
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs
No claws
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs
No claws
These monsters got nothing on you
These monsters
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you
No fangs, no claws, no snapping jaws
These monsters
These monsters got nothing on you

Moonrise

The Moon by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 – 1894)
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.

Blood/Brains

To cultivate a fruitful vineyard
We must be be positive
To choose only the smartest donors
A mental caviar
You bring me the blood
I'll bring you the brains
You bring me the blood
I'll bring you the brains
We've got nothing to lose
You love me, and I love you
We revel in (our lives renewed)
You love me, and I love you
Forever bound (you to me and me to you)
Ensuring that our line grows stronger
We craft our progeny
The future holds but just ourselves
And Immortality
I draw your energy
You consume my pain
Building up our empire
You bring me the blood
I'll bring you the brains
You bring me the blood
I'll bring you the brains
We've got nothing to lose
You love me, and I love you
We revel in (our lives renewed)
You love me, and I love you
Forever bound

You're A Landslide

I see your energy
I feel your pain
Building like a landslide
The love, the pain, like acid rain
I'm drowning
Caught in a hurricane
You're a landslide
Sweep me off my feet
Make me complete
Surround me
Fill me with lust and greed
You're a landslide
The love, the pain, like acid rain
I'm drowning
Caught in a hurricane
You're a landslide
Sweep me off my feet
Make me complete
Surround me
Fill me with lust and greed
You're a landslide
You're a landslide
Oh, woah woah, oh woah!
And if the sun should ever grace us again, in the end
You must remember we can always transcend
When we return again
You're a landslide
When we touch, I fall down on my knees to please you
Your energy
Make me complete
Sweep me off my feet
You're a landslide

She slipped through my fingers long ago
My pale intention was lost for another time
Been searching a year and two days
For any trace of your soul - At all
The last girl alive in L.A.
Aaaahh where are you - The last girl alive
Aaaahh where are you - The last girl alive
That girl is so coy
She’s elusive to me
She slips through like mercury
For most it was a quick and painless death
The few that turned have left for another place
Yet here I stay as my soul aches for you
One day you’ll be my dark queen
Dressed in indigo blue
The last girl alive in L.A.
Aaaahh where are you - The last girl alive
Aaaahh where are you - The last girl alive
That girl is so coy
She’s elusive to me
She slips through like mercury
The last girl alive will be my queen
The last girl alive will be my queen
Aaaahh I will find you - The last girl alive
Aaaahh I will find you - The last girl alive

This Is My Empire
06:18

This is my empire, and I am its voice
A lifetime of battle, has left me no choice but to soldier on, soldier on
Blow me to smithereens — and crumbs
And lo and behold, here I am
Destined to tolerate the pain — a gallows humor
But now it’s all crumbling down — I’ve unearthed fear
It blankets my soul — There’s nothing
Here I am
This is my empire, and I am its voice
This endless incursion, has left me no choice but to carry on, carry on
Long ago, the memories — have faded — And so has my decency
Do you want to learn the games of timelessness and fortune
I’m bored of the formula
So now I’m ready to shed my vices — There’s nothing — But time
The stroke of the clock is what frightens me — There’s nothing
Here I am
This is my empire, and I am its voice
A lifetime of torment, and I am devoid
Of all that’s left to be human

Everywhere
A feeling's near
Everywhere
The rapture beckons like a warm embrace
Everywhere
The path is clear

The rapture guides you to a better place
Everywhere
It's coming! Coming! Coming! Coming!
It's here...

Liquid 56
Liquid 56 encapsulates the essence of what made 80s indie music great. Flowing through the lyrics is an oddball wit mixed with a keen sense of worldly acumen that captures the sentiment of 1980s' disaffected youth, borne of musical innovation from the golden era of pop music. The music is a distillation of all our inspirations from bright pop to dark metal, and there's something here for everyone. ... more
