(no subject)
a song i wrote. it wont make much sense if you've never read H.P. lovecrafts "shadow over innsmouth" or "dreams in the witch house" but here it is.
--------------------------------------
Innsmouth
Stakes are burning everywhere and its barely dusk.
I guess the games started soon, they can’t control their lust.
Forget the ones who were burned crisp before the guns opened up.
They give the signal, “Hey, you should probably run.
You’re living on borrowed time. The railroad tracks are but a stones throw from here, hide between the ties.”
“When you get there (to Arkham), be sure to knock three times
On the witch’s house to interrupt her dreams.”
(Maybe he’ll save another life)
“God, He isn’t with you tonight.”
He’ll be lucky to see another day.
With pike’s teeth like hacksaws,
He’ll just be another missing face and name.
“You can’t run from what you can’t see,
You can’t hide from what can smell you.
But when you get back, be sure to knock three times
On the witch’s house, to interrupt her dreams.”
(To wake me from this nightmare)
“So run with all you’ve got.
Run till you’re out of breath.”
He’ll never outrun something that
Plays leapfrog in their sleep
“God, He isn’t with you tonight.
You’ll be lucky to feel another dream.”
And when the frost has settled on New England’s sea
Maybe I can sleep in peace.
“Just be sure to knock three times on the witches house
to interrupt this dream.
We’ll both be saved when I wake up from this dream.”
-------------------------------------------------------
dreams in the witch house is about a haunted house a man stays in where a witch infests his dreams inevidably leading to his doom. shadow over innsmouth is about a man who travels through innsmouth only to find out that demom frog men walk the streets at night and chase him through town till he escapes via railroad tracks. the song is about a man in the witch house dreaming of himself in innsmouth, trying to guide himself to safety so he can send himself to arkham (where the witchhouse is) to wake himself up and save himself.
