In the dust of twilight's glow,  
Ride the shadows, hearts laid low,  
Whispers of the ones we know,  
The good, the bad, and the dead, we sow.  

Outlaws lurking, guns drawn tight,  
Promises broken under moonlight,  
Lives once bright now lost from sight,  
The good, the bad, and the dead ignite.  

Chasing dreams through valleys wide,  
Bitter winds and a heart that cried,  
Ghosts of choices that we bide,  
The good, the bad, and the dead collide.  


Stars are fading, darkness creeps,  
Echoes haunt where silence weeps,  
In the night where danger leaps,  
The good, the bad, and the dead runs deep.  


Oh, the good, the bad, and the dead,  
Stories woven in the threads,  
We’re all just wanderers, misled,  
In the silence where the lost are fed.  

Through the canyons, old tales spun,  
Memories linger, battles won,  
But every victory's a loaded gun,  
The good, the bad, and the dead, we shun.  


The Good, The Bad And The Dead

"The Grand Consummation" - The ritual reaches its climax. Crowe’s human side is nearly extinguished; the entity has almost full control. This is a long, brutal, and chaotic track — shifting between moments of eerie stillness (human hesitation, Mary Jane’s fear, flickers of Crowe’s sorrow) and explosions of violence (entity-driven ritual mutilation). The veil between worlds tears open. The horror is not just physical but cosmic — flesh, blood, and London itself become the altar.

[Intro]
Her song drifts softly through the glass,
A fragile flame the night will pass.
I knock, I breathe, I dare to pray—
But shadow takes my hands away.

[Verse 1]
She smiles with trust, her door unlocked,
The fog recedes, all time has stopped.
Her voice recalls the life I lost—
But hunger drowns at any cost.
The chamber dims, the air turns still,
The knife is steady, not my will.
I beg in silence, my eyes plead—
But steel obeys the ancient creed.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—betray!
This flesh—enslaved!
Each breath—a vow!
Each cut—a grave!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation written in flame,
The veil breaks open, it calls her name.
The grand consummation, blood is the key,
The door swings wide, it devours me.

[Post-Chorus]
One life—
One hymn—
One gate—
Opened by sin.

[Verse 2]
The walls bear witness to my script,
A scripture written, crimson-dipped.
Her cries are lost in ritual tones,
Her bed becomes an altar stone.
Her body torn, a map of stars,
Each wound aligned to breach the scar.
The veil recoils, the sky bends low,
The night explodes—reality folds.

[Pre-Chorus]
These hands—unbound!
This voice—not mine!
Each mark—divine!
Each rite—aligns!

[Chorus]
The grand consummation through flesh and flame,
The hymns of silence cry out her name.
The grand consummation born of despair,
The shadow walks, it claims the air.

[Bridge]
I fight—(You cannot win!)
I beg—(The rite begins!)
I weep—(Her blood will sing!)
I break—(The darkness reigns!)

[Breakdown]
Unseal! The stars ignite!
Unseal! The void takes flight!
Unseal! Her voice is gone!
Unseal! The world undone!

[Final Chorus]
The grand consummation—my soul undone,
The veil lies broken, the gate is spun.
The grand consummation—her breath my crime,
The ancient god consumes through time.

[Extended Outro]
I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... — ETERNAL WOE! 
Lux mortis... — LIGHT OF DEATH! (light of death)
Domine Umbra... 
LORD OF SHADOW!!!

I hear her song—
But not her breath.
I see her eyes—
But only death.
The night is torn, the fog consumes,
The portal opens—
London is doomed.

Ahhh—ahhh—ahhhhhh...
Vae aeternum... (eternal woe)
Lux mortis... (light of death)
Domine Umbra... (lord of shadow)

LORD OF SHADOW!!!

“This track is a little different for us. The lyrics aren’t originally ours, but we couldn’t resist putting our own spin on it. Back when we were just starting out as a band, we used to practise it over and over, and finally, we brought it to life the way we always imagined. It’s a Samantha Fox song we loved, and we thought the lyrics really deserved our metal twist—so here it is, with our energy and style added in, ready for you to hear.”
