We that drank of its blood In the dark we roam To be reborn on this night Power we now know Bloodmoon beckons us now For we are its kin Savage beasts of blood Our cycle shall begin We shall kill all that’s in sight Slaughter this disease dubbed human life The reckoning is at hand, our time is now
3.
Little Johnny rides atop his bike Decked in leather and looking to fight Like a demon tearing through the night No, Johnny’s not afraid to die Little Johnny under electric light, yeah Spots his prey, got his fist clenched tight, yeah Up walks the villain and he’s gripping a knife Yeah, Johnny might die tonight Johnny, don’t do it, again and again and… Johnny will fight ‘til the end of, the end of his life Little Johnny stalks a Saturday night Vigilante out to make things right They took his woman now he’ll take their lives Yeah, Johnny’s out for blood tonight Little Johnny on a dark dark night, yeah Little Johnny under crimson light, yeah To learn the lesson of a switchblade life Yeah, Johnny’s gonna die tonight It was Friday night, 13th of the month On the beach, Johnny and his girl Making love ‘til they came by Troublemakers looking for fun They did his girl right before his eyes Left him for dead on that bloodstained night But Johnny’s back and he’s out for revenge He keeps killing again and again

Demon lord divine, hear us beckon you Summoned from the depths to birth the world anew Ancient power rise, destruction in your wake Lay the land to waste And the world comes down on this blackest day And the blood shall pour like a crimson rain And the corpses rise out from their graves As chaos reigns Incantations under the Samhain moon Sacrifice gives birth to the planet’s doom Retribution now, the time is near Gaze upon living fear
5.
Little girl, take my hand and walk with me I’ll lay you in the grove of the dying trees Where the full moon casts its frozen glow, below Here in this sacred place we’ll dwell Cast our own revision of that ancient spell I’ve only conjured it with you Oh, I swear it’s true We dance like zombies in the night Two lovers bathed under lunar light Heedless of the world and our own coming demise Will I die a victim of your bite, ever cast away into the coldest light Or will I be the one who sheds the light from your eyes My body rots yet you embrace me ever more Could your beauty mask a worthless fucking whore You say our chains may never bust But they’ll rust Rain falls, a premonition that’s so cruel Of the tears that shall flow from out of you Our love shall never know the term: forevermore
6.
Mr. Skull’s a corpse who was brought back from the dead He’s got a knife in his hand, a skull mask on his head Mr. Skull just loves it when his victims are bled And on this Halloween night he will paint the world red Well, he’s stalking the streets knifing every fuck he meets Mr. Skull To slay this bitch on this night of trick and treats Mr. Skull Scream away into the night, your pretty corpse’ll make such a sight Now’s the time, blood feast shall begin Mr. Skull In the glow of the jack-’o-lantern’s grin Mr. Skull His evil mask is the last you’ll see as you join these fallen leaves On Samhain Eve, rise from death to kill Mr. Skull For the Beast, Autumn’s blood shall spill Mr. Skull Complete the sacrifice, may her blood flow through the night Mr. Skull’s so happy, Mr. Skull’s so happy, Mr. Skull’s so happy when he’s killing you
7.
I stalk the night on the hunt for you I’m a beast that’s on the prowl and you know it’s true Right on your trail, I own the night I want the blood flowing through your veins, it’s no use to fight You’re my human prey Thoughts of terror running through your mind As you’re looking for the shelter that you can’t find You scream in pain as I bite your flesh It’s all about the hunt, but god I love the catch
8.
Walking along the paved paths of man As he seeks to bathe the world in sin Ever changing, he knows no form Awake to watch the calm before the storm He knows no title, hell unbridled He knows no end, unholy friend He knows no bounds, the thinny sounds Before him cower, a servant of the tower You don’t know his name and you never will You must play his game or you’ll never live He unleashes his plague and his misery The Ageless Stranger that haunts your dreams
9.
It’s raining blood tonight, a black angel’s crying It’s raining blood tonight, all love is dying It’s raining blood tonight, all hell across the land The devil cries tonight, the blood of man We’ll all bathe in blood, baby Cleanse our souls in blood We’ll all bathe in blood, my darling Dead in the sea of blood We’ll all bath in blood It’s raining blood tonight
10.
Death, Death, Death, comes sweeping down Filthy Death, that leering clown She blew in with the autumn breeze A vibrant flower emanating beauty throughout this macabre garden of my existence Intrigued by her glance, her smile conjured a lust within me A new level of infatuation that delved beyond sense, beyond reason And there, upon the foundation of our love, she knew life no more Soon her blood will cease to flow I can’t believe I’m watching her go Hear me light, return her to life Tonight And her body, it grows so cold And now death is all that I know I’d kill them all to bring her to life Tonight Death, the spawn of Cain, has come to take her away He has robbed her of life, a husk to rot and decay In time, Death will come and snuff out every flame There is no use for the light, for all love is in vain Her image ever haunting me Will I see her again Love equals death equals Pain, shattering my mind, leaking its black fluids Painting the world a darker shade of gray Curse of an elegiac love So alone, yet she is everywhere
11.
Dead white eyes are unforgiving A silent stare right through the living The ghostly figures haunt the halls A lone child cries within its walls Fear the echoes of the morning silence Eerie fog enshrouding nightmare violence Chilling howls from the surrounding forest The beasts of prey joined in nocturnal chorus The house up on the hill It is my nightmare hell The house up on the hill The basement’s calling where the demon’s lurking Now you are descending and you will not escape from this house You can’t turn back now, you hear it come near Out from the darkness you see the true face of fear This house it haunts me, knows my every fear Why can’t I wake up and get away from here This house it haunts me, forever taunts me I shall never get away from here

I am training hard tonight Gotta punch the shit out of this bag I’ve gotta train, I’ve gotta kick, I’ve gotta fight For when I sleep tonight I’ll get you, Freddy, I will kick your fucked up face Nunchuck you in the eyes and karate chop your waist I’ll sweep your legs and trip you back to hell, you’ll see Come here and challenge me What’s up with your stupid hat And ugly sweater, it’s not Christmas time Come and invade my dreams, it’d make my fuckin’ day ‘Cause I know karate I go to sleep, he’s in my dream Clawed right hand, he’s an evil fiend He thinks he scares me, no fuckin’ way I’ll roundhouse his charred face any day I jump kick him now in his head Don’t even care if he’s already dead He tries to slash me, I flip away This dream demon’s nothing but a pussy I’ll get you, Freddy, I will kick your fucked up face Nunchuck you in the eyes and karate chop your waist I’ll sweep your legs and trip you back to hell, bastard ‘Cause I’m the dream master I am the dream master, I’ll fight the demon of the night

about

The EverDead's long-delayed proper full-length album. The recording for this album began in the spring of 2005, but the band dissolved before it was completely finished (most of the music was done but almost none of the vocals). Nearly a decade later, the album was unearthed, finally completed, and released in February of 2015.
