about

The first offering from Illyrian with new drummer Calvin Reid takes on the video game Eternal Darkness.

lyrics

It starts with a phone call
Ripped from a slumber
An invitation, wrapped in millennial secrets
And familiar faces

They call it Providence
The irony is spent like loose change in a parlour
When you’re staring at a corpse

It’s not a question now
These walls are hollow
An abhorrent breeding ground for insidious suitors

Within these wretched halls
A lurking horror
Atop a city hidden now, from mortal sight
The former occupants were merely supplicants of woe

They wear our human skin like clothes,
A lecherous defalcation of
This quiet life we call our own…
But they’re different on the inside.

This house is not a home
At best, it lingers
Between a half-life spent
And another one, weaker
(An ethereal echo)

A place of fevered thoughts
And empty souls
Reeking like fervour…

God damn you all
And may the rats eat your eyes
I am now lost to your cause
The Darkness comes

(Lost to your cause)

Solo (Scott Onofrychuk)

You wear our human skin like clothes
Vainglorious infiltration of
This shattered life we call our own…
But you’re different on the inside.

Once you know, you know
It’s the kind of thing you can’t hold

The bone thieves walk among us all
