about

Stage 5 – The Nightmare

● The disease itself becomes an infernal tormentor of Henry. Believing he is in fact in Hell, Henry hears the mocking screams of the disease telling him it will take everything from him – his mind, his hands, his legs, his eyes, his breath. The pitiless demons torturing Henry are represented by the frenzied black metal that surges the track forward. The inclusion of a full wind ensemble appears to announce the grandeur of Hell itself as the track relentlessly assaults Henry reminding him “There is no way out” as the track overwhelms the listener in the horrifyingly chaotic conclusion.

lyrics

STAGE 5: THE NIGHTMARE

No one’s listening
You’re alone now Henry
We will take
Everything
Starting with
Memories
Your true love
Remember she is dead?
We will
Take your hands
Take your legs
Take your lungs
Take your eyes
Paralyzed
Like an insect pinned in place
Though you feel it all

Steal from you that sweetest melody
Feel the tide drawing you further down
Here exists no more reverie
Just melancholy and woe
See now, your body won’t obey
Trapped inside an endless night


Relive the darkest of all your days
Real and dream will cease to have a line
Watch as you burn without flame
Fugitive is hope
So pitiless are we
Here on this despondent shore

Now or then
Then or now
Tell me Henry, Is it now or is it then?
The pitiful fragments of your mind
Won’t permit you to differentiate

All woe
Shall be
Visited upon you, Henry
No more light in your eyes
No more words from your lips
Rejoice in this mute hell
All this chaos concealed (you won’t reveal)
In this imprisoned mind
Left with no recourse (no where to go)
You will wish you could die

Death comes – so slowly in this blankness
You’ll beg – for it to all end
Hope leaves – all now extinguished
Trapped here – a corpse that can’t die

Sullen – your body a casket
Frozen – a glacial mind
Bottomless – perdition to dwell
Empty – is your hell

All woe
Shall be
Visited upon you, Henry
No more light in your eyes
No more words from your lips
Rejoice in this mute hell
All this chaos concealed (you won’t reveal)
In this imprisoned mind
Left with no recourse (no where to go)
You will wish you could die

There is no way out.
