Phantasm - Acid Reign

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
