Seen a fire out on Devil's Lake
Blue flames flicker ghostly power
Sallow faces in the silent waters
Waiting to devour

Seen a fire out on Devil's Lake
And the flames keep growing tall
From the depths it whispers your name
It's what you wanted after all

I see the darkness in your soul
I see the darkness in your mind
I feel the darkness take control
You never know what you might find...
Out on Devil's Lake

Seen a witch out on Devil's Lake
Silver woman of twisted form
She-devil with eyes ablaze
Reigning with a crown of thorn

Seen a witch out on Devil's Lake
Seductive dance between the fire
Devil woman gonna take you down
And grant all your desires

I see the darkness in your soul
I see the darkness in your mind
I feel the darkness take control
You never know what you might find...
Out on Devil's Lake

Oh she's nothing but a wicked charade
In this lake where you'll decay
She's nothing but a wicked charade
In this lake where you'll decay...

I see the darkness in your soul
I see the darkness in your mind
I feel the darkness take control
You never know what you might find... oh yeah...
Out on Devil's Lake

Devil's Lake (Demo)

From on high with great disdain
I gaze upon the world below
This wretched den of vice
Shall surely pay damnation's toll

No sinners shall be left
By first morning light
My will shall be done
On earth tonight

Take the slate down
Wipe it clean
My vengeance will arrive
On black wings

As fire I scorch the land
As water I boil the seas
As air I'm a choking plague
No earth left beneath your feet

I am the hand of god
By his path you'll be led
No time left to repent
The earth is dead

Take the slate down
Wipe it clean
My vengeance will arrive
On black wings

Take the slate down
Wipe it all out
Vengeance will be mine
On black wings now

On Black Wings (Demo)

Lyrics:

Crept through the graveyard as dusk fell
In the moonlight I sat there, waiting and watching

Now that the time's right I've begun
The ritual to bring back my dear departed

Her spirit's growing stronger
We'll be apart no longer
From the tomb bursts forth her rotten head

She is my demon bride and
Now there's no need to hide
It's perfect as the moment we were wed
Tonight...

Death's cold chill on your lips
Some warmth still in your thighs
Walks through the cemetery
Surrounded by the creatures of the night

My bones against your hips
Dark thoughts are in our minds
My little succubus
I want our love to last all night

We shared our passion for hours
So alive with the rapture of infernal powers

Shedding tears in surrender
As the dawn breaks on our night so perfect and tender

For now we have each other
Maggot filled dirt to cover
Up our sins and hide us from the day

You asked to me a question
If time could be froze
Forever in this moment, would you stay?
Tonight...

Death's cold chill on your lips
Some warmth still in your thighs
Walks through the cemetery
Surrounded by the creatures of the night

My bones against your hips
Dark thoughts are in our minds
My little succubus
I want our love to last all night

My love for this devilish girl will never fade away
And if time could be frozen, in this moment I would stay

Never fade away...
Moment I would stay...
Tonight...

Death's cold chill on your lips
Some warmth still in your thighs
Walks through the cemetery
Surrounded by the creatures of the night

My bones against your hips
Dark thoughts are in our minds
My little succubus
I want our love to last all night

Little Succubus (Demo)

Candelabra's burning bright
Something's in the air tonight
And there's nothing on the television...

Spy a glow on Haunted Hill
Peering through my windowsill
Something calling me
I can't escape it...

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Drawn by evil forces luring me into the graveyard
Wicked incandescent orbs that break my will
I'm running and I'm stumbling
I fall into a grave
Dear god, the dead are upon me now!!

Well you see it's not so bad
When you're on the other side
There's no place to run
And nowhere left to hide

It's so beautiful, you must
Spend eternity with us
And together we'll all rot forever

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Tonight
The dead are calling
Tonight
Their lights are burning bright

Tonight 
The dead are calling
Tonight
Their lights are burning bright

What a strange affair!
There's corpses everywhere
They speak to me by name
And creep inside my mind

It's a mystery
And it occurred to me
The lights on Haunted Hill
Have never burned so bright...

Lights On Haunted Hill (Demo)

Luke's 'Spooky 7s' - Sunday 27th October 2024

‘strange device’ is an ambitious and immersive journey into the darker corners of the human experience. Created by the duo cyntrix and the pilot, the album weaves together a powerful blend of distorted guitars, heavy bass, breakcore drums, and choral-style vocals to create a moody and sinister soundscape. Thematically, it delves into complex emotional realms, exploring trauma, grief, and existential dread alongside deeper themes of generational curses, moral scrupulosity, and the psychological toll of CPTSD, anxiety, and depression.

At the heart of strange device lies the title track, a cinematic rock piece that balances the album’s extremes of sound and emotion. Featuring a dynamic range of distorted guitars, synth solos, and obscure sci-fi-inspired effects, this song embodies the duo’s signature blend of intricate sound design and emotionally charged storytelling. It draws listeners into a world where personal suffering is inextricably linked to larger existential questions, offering moments of both despair and resilience.

The album represents a significant creative leap for cyntrix and the pilot. Pushing themselves beyond the electronic realm, they embraced a wider sonic palette, incorporating electric guitars, six-string bass, drum kits, and even field recordings to achieve a massive and atmospheric wall of sound. These experimental techniques were designed to reflect the album's colossal themes—nihilism, spiritual psychosis, wrath, death, and the decay of both body and mind.

In ‘strange device’, the duo confronts the agony of being born into a world darkened by the weight of past generations. Through this sonic exploration, they pose a singular, poignant question: when surrounded by the darkness, do you surrender and darken with it, or do you rise to become a beacon of light?

Lyrics
====================================
It was the summer of 59.
I was yours and you were mine.
In the caddy down at the point
I was kissing you, you were rubbin my joint

I didn't think I would get this far
you made a wish on a shooting star
Came so close it nearly singed my hair
and oh god baby.

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

I went to look and you got so irate
Said I was ruining our first date
But I had to investigate
my curiosity surely sealed our fates

Oh that blue glow had me mesmerized
I had to know what was inside
and there was nowhere left to hide
cause oh my baby.

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

Thirty years later, got a second chance
Some Delta boys headed to a dance
And in a crash I took their minds
I didn’t care that they’d already died

The pretty girls all sit and wait
in the house for their tardy dates
all done up and waiting for fun.
And never expecting.

The night of the creeps!
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!

An old detective that knew my plan
Wanted to make a final stand.
I had left them nowhere to run
Oh my, my, this sure will be fun

The bus pulled in about half past nine
The old detective locked the girls inside
Said the good news is your dates are here
Let me make one thing crystal clear!

This is the night of the creeps.
Oh it’s the night of the creeps.
From somewhere in outer space so deep.
Oh my baby, this is the night of the creeps!
