Silver Never Sleeps (Inspired by PHANTASM)

"Silver Never Sleeps" AstroSkull Inspired by the motion picture PHANTASM (1979) Morningside Cemetery, where the muscle cars are loud, the mortuary never closes, and the flying silverware is extremely unfriendly. Lyrics: White stone angels watch the road, Midnight carries a heavy load. Fresh-cut flowers, hollow ground, Something moves without a sound. Marble halls and polished doors, Footsteps cross the mortuary floors. A shadow stands where shadows shouldn't be, Watching from behind the trees. Don't close your eyes, Don't turn away. The dead don't rest Where the Tall Man waits. Silver never sleeps, It hunts between the graves. Cold steel in the dark, And no one here gets saved. Black wheels burn beneath a moonless sky, Hear that engine come alive. Through the gates where the dead still dream, Nothing here is what it seems. Yellow blood beneath the knife, Things down there were never life. Small shapes moving underground, Dragging coffins without a sound. A silver flash across the hall, Hear the metal scream and watch it fall. No lock can hold it, no door is safe, Death has learned to hunt and chase. Run through the halls, Run through the rain. Break every mirror, He comes again. Silver never sleeps, It hunts between the graves. Cold steel in the dark, And no one here gets saved. Black wheels burn beneath a moonless sky, Hear that engine come alive. Through the gates where the dead still dream, Nothing here is what it seems. Drive! Past the stones and through the night. Drive! Keep the headlights burning white. Drive! If you see him, don't look back. Put the hammer down— And stay on track. Brother, tell me what you saw, Something waiting beyond the wall. A doorway humming, red and bright, Another world behind the light. Hands reach out from somewhere cold, Faces young but voices old. Every answer splits in two, Every nightmare follows you. Wake from the dream, Wake if you can. But every road Leads back to him. Cold marble. Empty halls. Silver cutting Through the walls. No heaven. No release. Just engines And the deceased. Silver never sleeps, It hunts between the graves. Cold steel in the dark, And no one here gets saved. Black wheels burn beneath a dying sky, Hear that engine come alive. Through the gates where the dead still dream, Nothing here is what it seems. Silver never sleeps, The mortuary calls. Something waits behind Those endless marble walls. Floor it hard and leave the dead behind, Don't believe your frightened mind. Because the road bends back eventually— To Morningside Cemetery. White stones fading... Morning light... But he's still standing Out of sight. © AstroSkull | Major Hammy Records. All rights reserved. #phantasm #synthwave #darkwave
