Under the Pale Moonlight feat. Gonzalo Civita & Henrik Schaller
This is the last track of the upcoming EP!
In this song I used a riff (opening riff) that my Brother taught me back in the days. It was important to me to use it in this song and it is a worthy end of the tribute EP for me personally.
As always, big thanks to my friends Gonzalo Civita for the incredible vocals, Henrik Schaller for the great solo and Matías Takaya for the great production!
Lyrics by Shannon
Once upon a time there was a boy
and by his surroundings, he was destroyed.
Pain over pain, zero gain
He was sure that nothing in his life would remain
They would kill him in his sleep
While he would desperately count sheep
And dream of a better life
For which he wanted to strive.
When you close your eyes
in the darkness lies
Death disguised as a lovely friend
If you don't watch out
It will reach for you
And pull you down
into the dark ghost town
And pull you down
But then one night, it got cold
He saw something on his pillow, it was mold
As he reached out
He felt a touch
He wanted to shout
Air in his lungs was not much
As he turned around, he saw its eyes
Shining in a dangerous red
Upon where he lied
At first he was scared,
as it visited him every night
And soon it became clear
That the thing had died
Its pale skin
Its long hands
The greasy hair and a voice of despair
It tried to pull the boy outside
Tried to cover his eyesight
And the boy went with his new friend
When you close your eyes
in the darkness lies
Death disguised as a lovely friend
If you don't watch out
It will reach for you
And pull you down
into the dark ghost town
And pull you down
But one day, as he became a young adult
His friend stopped visiting
He took it as an insult
As it seemed like his peaceful world was vanishing
He waited and waited, but his friend stayed away
What stayed was the mold in grey
For the first time in years, he left his house
And he regretted it yet so soon
Because what shocked him most to find
Was a grave with his name under the pale moonlight
He saw his friend waving him with his pale, translucent hand
And instructed him to follow him back to their peaceful world
And the boy followed him into the afterworld
So after all this time
He took his last breath
And followed his friend
Who was known as death.
