Nightmare on May Eve (Dunwich pt. 1)

from Legacy of the Anointed by Spiral Grave

/

lyrics

What are you Whateley – if told would we believe?
So strange it seems you were conceived – a nightmare on May Eve
Explain the frenzied canine on the night that you were born
Heaven’s saints preserve us – could it be that we were warned

Up on the hill that night while winds howled and blew
While fires burned so bright – what did your mother do?

Young Master Whateley – growing up so fast
To see you it’s so hard to think just fifteen years have passed
The Wizard would be proud of you were he alive to see
Destiny fulfilled – you set your father free

On Candlemas when you were born and all was said and done
Can we be so sure you were the only one?

What is locked upstairs – as Dunwich sleeps so unaware
That you and Wizard tended for so long?
What if it breaks free – comes down for all to see
Is that what you wanted all along?

What did Wizard say just before he passed away?
Secrets of the nightmare be unfurled
You’re a special boy – what other son could know the joy
Of bringing father dear into the world?

Questions go unanswered – there are many more
The corpse of Wilbur Whateley – dissolving on the floor
I see now he is not of Earth – from where I do not know
The task at hand so full of dread – I turn to go

Face this nightmare that awaits – though I don’t know how
Who will open father’s door – it’s up to brother now
