Inspired by the "Silent Hill" video game

lyrics

Mark of Samael

(The town devoured by the darkness)

Watching the world slip into madness
The fog-covered streets engulfed in sadness
Lost in chaos, living nightmare
Insanity's poison laced with despair

(This is not a dream! What's happening to this place?!)

Maddening static piercing your eardrums
This crazy dream's slowly becoming real
The stench of death falls with the snow
Night clouds your eyes, completing the seal

Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!
Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!

(Daddy! Help me!)
(Daddy! Where are you?)
(Help me! Father! Help me!)

Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!
Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!

You fall to your knees, to the chainlink floor
Gazing into the infinite abyss
Blood and chains mar the landscape you once knew
It's becoming more difficult to resist

(Daddy? Thank you Daddy! Goodbye!)

Raining fire consumes your skin
Anguished screams peal from withing
Give one last look into the sky
Awaken just before you die

(Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!)
(Don't let it close, the Mark of Samael!)

They have been compared to Inkubus Sukkubus & Evanescence. ... more
