about

Synthesizer: Hammond 102100. Piano: Fender RHODES. Effects: Electro-Harmonix BIG MUFF, Maestro ECHOPLEX, Maestro RING MODULATOR.

lyrics

"PHOSPHORESCENCE IS THE CHAMBER"

Neon lines the street,
Warding off the gloom.
Vice buys a room.

Jewels won in heat,
Needle’s in an arm,
Safe from all harm.

While outcasts drown their scars,
Here I sit in this bar!
Topless dancer, will you turn a trick for a stranger?

Phosphorescence is the chamber!
Your obsession is my danger!
Phosphorescence is the chamber!
Your obsession is my danger!

Beneath the surface lurks another reality,
Clawing to break free!
The devil doll is waiting for the next war chest!
The panther slut is dead on my doorstep!

Look!
There on the other side of the abyss!
Extinct reptiles slither through a volcanic rain,
While nearby, a boa constricts
With emerald fire reflections.

My name is Legion!
Do not bother me!
I wish to be left alone
To explore the remaining realms of night!

Netherhole!

Catch a shifty stare,
Reaching for a home!
Exiled creatures roam
Adult catacombs,
Searching everywhere,
Trying to survive!
The night is alive
With a thousand eyes!
