THE PENDULUM

FEAT.‪@DACARAUK‬ https://linktr.ee/Auraborosuk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost was the prisoner trapped in the pit Happy and dauntless, the shameless prince The black-robed judge, the thin pale lips An iron gate sealed, the dreams would live Sick with the taste of fear on their breath The judge’s smile, a sentence of death Bound by a strap, watch with contempt As sharp as a razor, with speed it descends The Masque of the Wolf, The Dance of the Fox The Blood of the Lamb, Dominion of all Seven rooms filled with delights Away from the depths, far from divine There was dance, there was wine There was beauty, safety inside There was horror, there was despair There was doom, and Death in the air Descends upon the dispossessed Creeping in its climb Bound beneath the march of time The sweep of the pendulum Laying waste countless lords Dance in crimson halls This scythe disguised as law Feasts on shared misery Judge did the father, bleed did the son A theory on spirit, all or the one No gods no masters, claw from the pit Burn down the palace, eat the rich Dull were their eyes Paler than dusk Hands outstretched blind to a fate Growing contempt for the silence Cowardice reigns, the worst was to come Forced into slumber, writhing in scum Dysorder in darkness, agonised smile The swinging of steel beckons demise Decay in despair, time runs dry Demons are lurking, nowhere to hide Ravenous beasts tore into his skin Fangs deep in the bitter taste of hope Descends upon the dispossessed Creeping in its climb Bound beneath the march of time The sweep of the pendulum Laying waste countless lords Dance in crimson halls This scythe disguised as law Feasts on shared misery No sanctum (back and forth) No saviour (back and forth) No sleep (back and forth) No soul Both faced with the end What a beautiful nightmare Back and forth The gilded sins return to dust Swing low at the prince For there’s no escaping When death is laced in red Chords untouched in hearts Agony of the soul A world they would watch fall apart For the protection of their gold And the silence The violence The silence Is violence ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Credits • Music by Aaron West • Lyrics by Aisling Killey & Emma Shippen • Production by Leo Craig • Mastering by Grant Berry Film Credits • Directed by Aisling Killey & Aaron West • Edited by Aaron West Actors • Rayne Williams as The Wolf • Emma Shippen as The Lamb • Jakey Bridge as The Fox • Aisling Killey as The Victim • Aaron West as The Faceless . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . △△△△ -- Rejoice In The Pendulum -- -- Rejoice In Dysorder -- i i i i [=:] i i i i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
