Deathwatch Requiem 
(Music/Lyrics by Wraith) 

INTRO 

VERSE 1: 
Some call me a madman 
Yet view my precision 
Creeping slowly at night 
Standing in the doorway 
Lurking in the darkness 
I am death incarnate 
I must kill the old man 
Fore his eye haunts me 

CHORUS: 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 


VERSE 2: 
Vigil held for eight nights 
I wait for a glimmer 
Lantern ray doth reveal 
Evil eye before me 
Striking without mercy 
I snuff life out quickly 
Dispose of the remains 
Under wooden floorboards 


CHORUS: 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 


VERSE 3: 
Open up the front door 
Greeted by the police 
A scream broke the silence 
Led them to look around 
Soon the pounding grows loud 
Deafened by the beating 
Surely they suspect me 
Confess to the murder 

SOLO 

CHORUS: 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 
Silence overcome 
Deathwatch Requiem 

OUTRO

Phantasmagoric 
(Music/Lyrics by Wraith) 

INTRO 

VERSE 1: 
Above the tarn 
Looms the mansion 
The House of Usher 
Summoned to help 
A childhood friend 
Some madness afflicts 
Enter the house 
Dreadful feeling 
The Darkness Consumes 

CHORUS: 
Phantasmagoric 
Illuminessence 
Phantasmagoric 
Sombre presence 

VERSE 2: 
Greet my old friend 
Yet he appears 
Sick, nervous, distraught 
Soon he reveals 
His twin is ill 
Death like trance grips her 
Try to dispel 
The dismal thoughts 
The House is alive 

CHORUS: 
Phantasmagoric 
Illuminessence 
Phantasmagoric 
Sombre presence 

SOLO 

VERSE 3: 
She has just passed 
Now we entomb 
Lay her in the vault 
As the house glows 
A storm erupts 
A shriek from below 
The she appears 
In the shadows 
As one they perish 

CHORUS: 
Phantasmagoric 
Illuminessence 
Phantasmagoric 
Sombre presence

Nemesis 
(Music/Lyrics by Wraith) 

INTRO 

VERSE 1: 
Hear this tale I tell you 
Of my sweet revenge 
At the spring carnival 
I shall lure my prey 
Fortunato can you join me 
To judge a vintage wine 

CHORUS: 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Nemesis 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight Nemesis 

VERSE 2: 
Down we go to the crypt 
Smell putrid decay 
Crest reveals your grim fate 
Reign vengeance down 
Fortunato we have arrived 
The wine is right before you 


CHORUS: 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Nemesis 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Nemesis 

SOLO 

VERSE 3: 
Step into the darkness 
Now your bound in chains 
Brick by brick your walled up 
Scream but none shall hear 
Fortunato no one insults 
Me with impunity 

CHORUS: 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Nemesis 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Never shall you see the light 
Retribution strikes tonight 
Nemesis
