Acid Reign

Phantasm

Acid Reign


Part 1 Running scared 

Watching from the hillside 
Unpermitted mourning 
With the rest of my family 
Funeral is over 
My suspicions are raised by the tall man's abilities 
I decide to hide, searching for answers 
Answers to questions yet complete within my mind 
Flushed from hiding by my own curiosty 
Mechanical white corpuscle eradicate the enemy 
What the hell is going on, what is going on 

What is he here for? 
What is he hiding? 
Will he kill me? 

Twisting my brother's mind 
To the impending danger 
Which threatens us all 
He doesn't believe me 
But curiosity and fact 
Combine to persuade him 
It becomes clear that what we're fighting 
Is something that much stronger than our being 
So we decide to set a trap to ensnare the evil 
What the hell is going on, what is going on 

Where did he come from? 
Why were we chosen? 
What life awaits us? 

Part 2 The tall man 

I witness an intruder 
And return to my peaceful sanctuary 
Cans of shrunken life 
Await their final journey 
Through a porthole in space 
First step to enslavement shackles 
And the last of freedom 
I slavetrade death 

My powers are many and unknown 
For use in defence and attack 
I feel no pity, shame or reason 
I live to kill and kill to live 

I am here to cage your soul 
And make you learn to obey 
You will adopt a new existence 
From which you will never return 

My domain is peaceful 
Then I find the boy hiding 
I must eliminate him 
His eyes see too much 
He has light of foot 
And I lose sight of him for now 
My time shall come 
My chance I will take 

I know this task is not beyond me 
But this minor threat it doth frustrate me 
A matter of time and patience 
To remove this pathetic object 

I am here to cage your soul 
And make you learn to obey 
You will adopt a new existence 
From which you will never return 

I hunt my prey 
I find my place 
Running scared 
He's in the woods 
Then the ground 
It falls away 
All is black 
I'm left for dead 

Bodily wound's a minor setback 
Encased within this earthly shell 
I still plan a confrontation 
Defeat never crosses my mind 

I am here to cage your soul 
And make you learn to obey 
You will adopt a new existence 
From which you will never return 

I am here 
For the dead 
I will kill 
For my cause 
I am not 
Of this earth 
Humans are 
Easy prey 
Eternal life 
Of slavery
