Paper Town 03:37

1. Paper Town Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites Cold grey skies And ruined lives Endless stretches of nothingness It's either the road Or being raped at home The Sun And its prophecy Breaks the clouds And says "follow me"... Down in the glenn A circle of houses With nothing else about They're almost All the same All painted black... I wait for nightfall In the pitch black The back door is open As I slide in... Into the shadows Not making a sound I make for the attic With no one around Its dry and warm up here Just me alone with my fears Living like a ghost No one will ever know A living specter As silent as the grave Life haunting life I can hear them Moving around under my feet It's life as normal None the slightest inkling The first night Is always the worst The sounds of love Drifting from below

2. Only the Boys Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites There's something wrong, with this place Stripped down Community In the middle of nowhere Curiously... It's always the same thing everyday But at night, I can fill in the blanks The candlelight showing me the way Peel back the layers Of this secluded family Not a picture anywhere The house is austere The path that leads out the back Gives me the creeps As silent as a mouse I rifle the cupboards and drawers Paydirt, I found it! A cache of old photos Not a single one of "them" Ever smiles Morose looks And crazy eyes In quite a few Someone's been torn out The torn edges Was it rage or was it madness? The whole thing Is really getting under my skin I put the photos back And scrub my hands on my dirty jeans There's something wrong with this place... On the morn Back, hidden away I see a sliver of light Piercing the gloom A window into the world The men and boys Disappearing once again I wonder where they go? Into the forest Back beyond the house Why go there? I got to know... It isn't long before I'm standing by the back door That stony path Leading to nowhere Little did I know That path to nowhere Will lead me To the deepest depths of hell...

3. Vitrified Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites What's love got to do with it? when things fall apart you're head in the clouds you don't hear it that sound alarms wailing in the wind bad news that's calling I've looked down the barrel of a gun When feelings turn to stone the frigid air and the empty space broken promises and soiled lace When the rust, starts to set in... corroding everything you believed in the misery, it moves from the temporary and asserts itself daily the person you thought you knew You find is a stranger to you... All the love in the world can't mend this broken heart Distrust the order of the day keeping people at arms length the look behind the eyes tells the story of so many lies The good times they always end stabbed in the back again in the beginning you feel that rush that nervous feeling before you touch slowly the dream ebbs away and now love is only a memory when you finally get yourself straight you move on cuz it's never to late To live your life and just do you when you realize that love's for fools Pushed away the death of intimacy going through the motions woodenly... all illusions they dissipate and you're left with the stark reality time after time the wounds they never heal you don't bounce back you start to recede the cataracts of love that used to blind your eyes are cast off for the final time All the love in the world can't mend this broken heart Distrust the order of the day keeping people at arms length the look behind the eyes tells the story of so many lies The good times they always end stabbed in the back again Now that everything has been said and done no more crying, just moving on I'm stuck in this attic and it makes me laugh in six months I'm back at the start no more trying to please you I don't care if you're happy It's not worth the time so forget about me I'm at peace, out on the road sometimes I wonder why it took me so long... All the love in the world can't mend this broken heart Distrust the order of the day keeping people at arms length the look behind the eyes tells the story of so many lies The good times they always end stabbed in the back again

4. Nyctophile Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites As I first step into the darkness A death like silence suffocates I feel the weight of ages The singularity Of an entity Beginning to fill me I drawn to the Kitchen The hidden door behind the hutch Leading down into the earth I stumble towards it where I fall With the look of adoration The look of ecstasy... The sound from the bedroom Footsteps coming my way The revelation, Heightens my elation I'm losing myself in the folds of eternity My old life sorta fades away My head fills with the memories Of paradise on earth Gardens and fountains, love and mirth I can see a city Rise out of the ashes to stand before me The power in my mind Enticing me with earthly delights There's something insidious It doesn't seem right, it's too perfect I start to have a doubt I just want to get out It's far to late to have second thoughts I see now, what has to be done The familiarity Unsettles me... In a panic... I fly out the back door Running blindly down the path The forests embrace Hiding me... Lights in the darkness Slicing the velvet black Eyes searching For the interloper They're getting closer My breath it quickens Looking for a hiding place There, amongst the stones I cram my body Into the space the smell of rotted earth takes my breath away... Inching further Into the hole Something gives way And I'm falling I slide down into the inky black Clawing at the dirt As I fall through I'm under the ground I can hear sounds from afar That make my skin crawl I stumble towards the source A door separates us both I grasp the handle weakly...

5. The Esagila Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites The damp Seeps into my bones As torches Gutter down the hall This isn't real But I can't deny The existence of this place Sounds getting louder As I pick up the pace... The hall it widens Opening up into a room Shadows conceal the horror As I squint in the gloom Wooden tables Stained crimson Straps and chains designed to restrain Cleavers and knives Neatly arranged The thought it hits Like a hammer to the head That horrifying sound Turns me around Fingers, clawing at me Little girls! Dirty and emaciated My head turns To the bloodied table... SOLO Oh my god, what the fuck? The evil is overpowering This den of inequity Lances my soul, spiritually Lights, dancing on the wall Coming closer There's almost nowhere to go A barrel, there in the corner Is my best bet... I remove the lid And climb on in There's something wet on the bottom The smell it sickens me I replace the lid The men fill the room Eyes searching for She who should not be... SOLO They're not moving on And this barrel's making me gag It reeks of putrefaction And feels slimy Then in a fit of rage They drag a girl from the cage Strapping her down And bleeding her there and then A man approaches And hacks off her bloody arm Ripping into the flesh With nothing but his teeth SOLO The silent tears Shed for things You can't unsee The silent survivors Speaks volumes without a word Suddenly, I don't have a care in the world I feel good Better than I've been in years The warmth in my chest Flowing outward... The men stop what they're doing And just leave like they're under command I stand up out of the barrel They don't even care I move to the table And stare at her I rip out one of her eyes Cuz I wanna see What she saw when she died

6. Evil Ascends Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites "Fee Fie Foe Fum What has the spider caught? Lost your way? Little fly..." "Your memories Are delicious... The exquisite pain Of the finest vintage" I throw the gate Of the prison open Girls flood, And fall to their knees The rapture Deification made flesh She Lives again As the world laments I lead them To the gates of freedom Bloody skies Announce our arrival SOLO The well worn path leading back to them 13 girls... With the power of a god An ancient evil Always scratching at the door Filling her With a thirst for blood The Esagila Acts as the conduit Reaching across the stars The immense blackened void There between time and space for millennia, they wait The elder gods Sleep without dreaming As an outsider She's the weakest link A vessel, young but broken A sacrificial token Unprotected By years of spells Ripe for the taking And now comes Hell... SOLO The crescent moon Shines from above By the time We hit the village All on their knees Faces in the dirt The men they make a line Flesh glowing, in the moonlight The women, blades in their hands Standing in front of them The girls they sing To their goddess supreme SOLO Blades jab them in the groin Twisting the steel To open them up Blood spurts Gouting into the air Fountains of life Returning to the earth SOLO Virgin eyes Look on dispassionately As the sacrifice Completes the deal...

7. Cataclysmic Apotheosis Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites Third eye open Hexed eternally Pale white skin, glowing in the dark My old life Burned away Filled by this evil entity Bloody hands The perversion of innocence Weak feelings Are swept away easily I am hollow The fire rages on Stripping away What was left of me Pulled into the black Stretched and torn This broken shell Is longer my own... Transcendence Eclipsed by hate The shadows of my fate Cold fingers Caress my skin As I die a little more, within... Mothers gouge out their eyes And slit their wrists Their part is over None are allowed to live Canticles of agony The blackness surrounds me Fresh tendrils Of aversion SOLO I am hollow The fire rages on Stripping away What was left of me Pulled into the black Stretched and torn This broken shell Is longer my own... Only 13 remain Myself and the girl slaves Reaching the depths Of the purest depravity Orgiastic rites As they copulate on the ground Bathing themselves In oceans of blood SOLO I am hollow The fire rages on Stripping away What was left of me Pulled into the black Stretched and torn This broken shell Is longer my own...

8. Worship Her Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites I can't see, the light anymore This mystery, reveals itself In two minds, the war is lost Enthralled, to her... SOLO I don't wanna live Yet I cannot die The peace within Turns out to be a lie Nothing stands in my way The door, slowly opening Through the empty I can hear them coming... I'm being subsumed As all light is being consumed The last fading rays Eclipsed in the periphery All my memories, replaced All that remains is the hate Senseless and abhorrent The gleaming effigy, a totem... I heed their call I can't see the world anymore All the things that I used to be Smothered totally When the bottom Finally gives way Another universe Of pain All I touch Withers away A conundrum Of misery The fall Blissful in descent Eternity With no end The darkest corners Of the mind Revealed To the night SOLO Tears, Shed in futility Tainted, By the beast There's no love Only emptiness A singularity Of total death SOLO

9. In Densissimis Tenebris, Silentio Ratum Est Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite Album: Rites The flames Can be seen for miles The belching smoke From the funeral pyres Offerings To the gods of the sky Blackened earth The end of life This withered husk Tearing at the seems The power within Beyond my wildest dreams SOLO Where my feet Touch the ground The smell of Sulphur For miles around The end Of all that is Life recoils From negative energy A trail Of desolation Cutting deep And severing the connections Demons, Replace the souls Of the thirteen Satanic nobles Sowing the seeds Of death SOLO My eyes Seeing beyond the veil My life Slowly impaled Night, Rising from the depths The moon Is utterly eclipsed In the end The silence is overwhelming Colours Muted to pale greys The absence of everything Turns the world cold Vistas of annihilation As far as the eye can see SOLO Human candles Burn as we pass Screams of agony Fill the night Misanthropic And Moribund This is how the world will end Silver steps Leading the way to hell...
