Trouble in the Woods
06:40
|

|
Fallen,
Face first,
A mushroom to catch me.
Mouthful,
Of pungent,
And putrid spores mist me.
Choking of the lungs.
Reverberated coughing.
The strangling of the woods,
It amplifies my tragedy.
Dizzy,
Throat closing,
What dust has chased into my lungs.
My eyes,
Are burning,
The world looks red around me.
Tortured striations,
Echoing through my mind.
A sinking feeling,
Comes over me yet I,
Keep struggling,
Deep breaths,
Through clouded lungs and mind.
No more,
Must rest,
I need to rest my mind!

02. Wraithsbreath
The Boy:
A wretched creeping,
A crawling from within.
I feel as though,
I’m not alone,
There’s someone in my fear.
Untitled madness,
Squirming deep within.
I feel it stretching,
Like a blanket,
Closing me within.
I hear the whispers.
Almost words.
The come from inside of me
The Wraithsbreath’s curse.
The Wraithsbreath’s curse.
What putrid mushroom,
Had caught my face,
And burrowed it’s way,
Into my brain.
What entity,
Has made its way,
Deep inside,
And made it’s plain.
Balthor:
it is I

03. Unwelcome Guest
The Boy:
Who,
answer,
what be thy name
What fowl creature,
Has climbed inside me,
Render me thy name.
Balthor:
My name is not deserved,
To a host as lowly as thee.
You are but a puppet,
For me to live in thee.
The Boy:
Answer me my question,
Render me thy name.
I am more than but a puppet,
I shall show thee, inhumane.
Balthor:
Fret not young one,
This is now my domain,
I’ll wrestle it from thee,
And hide thee away.
The Boy:
I shall not go down without a fight,
Fowl creature inside my brain,
I’ll wrestle back and show thee,
This domain is mine to say.
Balthor:
Wrestle ye may try,
A hopeless act from thee.
I shall entomb thee I’m thine mind,
And there ye shall stay!
The Boy:
*screams of agony.

Trapped Inside
06:00
|
|||
|
The Boy:
Let me free!
I shan’t be held here,
Trapped in mine own brain!
Fowl creature,
Answer me!
What be thy name!
To take another’s body,
Is but a cowards game,
Answer me fowl thing!
What be thy name!
Trap me if thy want,
Control I still may have,
Though distant from mine eyes,
My sight I do still have.
Answer me!
Hideous creature without a name,
Answer me!
Render me thy name!

Balthor:
Thine shouting has caught mine ears.
A valiant effort for one caught.
A title I shall give thee,
But mine name I shall not.
King of wraiths,
is that which some call me.
A death that all should fear,
For death it is not so much,
But eternal service to me.
The Boy:
Why take me,
Myself is not for you.
What evil do you come from,
And what evil would you make me do.
Balthor:
I had only laid a trap,
Awaiting my chance,
Thy would have done the same,
To have a body back.
My ways are not evil,
Only in self service,
Laying claim to what is mine,
The world is but my oyster.
The Boy:
What wretched thing,
Has crept into my brain!
My mind, thy cannot have it.
It shall not be stripped away!
Answer me fowl creature,
What is thy name!

The Wraith King's Claws
07:12

Balthor:
A name has strong power,
This much ye may know,
My name ye shall have,
Soon ye shall know.
My name shall become yours,
Once ye’ve been subdued.
My grip, it is tightening,
Grasping your mind.
This wrestling shall end,
We soon shall entwine.
The Boy:
No!
I shall not surrender!
This body is mine!
Though thou claim to have it,
This is my mind.
Lock me away,
If that’s what it takes,
But this I shall not leave.
Though thou may take me over,
My mind I shall not leave!
Away
sick thing
Away,
Thine spores
They sicken me.
Away and leave me to be
Trapped
Inside where thou can see.

Coiled Around the Mind
04:10
|
|||
|
The Boy:
Oh, my mind.
I fear that I’m alone,
Yet this thing surrounds me.
Ever moving,
Ever watching,
Ever squeezing.
Wrapping around my mind!
What misfortune has befell on me.
Why has my mind been taken from me.
How long till I cannot see,
How long till I cannot be.
This crowded loneliness,
What cannot be,
Alone yet completely surround,
Oh, this is me!

Mycelium Coffin
05:07
|
|||
|
The Boy:
Thoughts slow
To almost nothing.
No longer my own.
I am losing something.
Control of my mind,
And over my body,
It all keeps on slipping,
My grasp, it is rotting.
The wraith in my mind,
It’s voice is suffocating,
My thoughts and my life,
Are now intertwining.
How long can I last,
This eternal torture.
I shall not be drained,
Of my last drop of vigor.
Balthor:
Boy, thou are mine now.
We are the same,
One creature at last now.
I’ll give thee my name,
Now we are together,
trapped in thine mind,
I find this a pleasure.
Balthor are we,
Now intwined together.
One name have we,
No more shall I waiver.
