Reveal The Shrieking Skull

(album: Thunder Over London - 2021)

A warning to curious ignored
The hand of fate has led you to this place
When it's after dark, at midnight sharp
No priest can see what happens to thee
In the catacombs, you're all alone
They'll grab your bones and carry you before the throne

You penetrated the venerated sanctum of a secret league
Where everyone's on drugs and dancing to the Hackers OST

It's real! It's real!
The ritual's begun
Beneath the steel
Reveal the shrieking!
You've asked for this a million times, now you'll be paid in full
Reveal! Reveal!
Reveal the shrieking skull!

Your foolish urge to peer into the dark
The stroke of twelve brings the acolytes to the crypt
In hooded garb, with upraised arms
They chant and cry, 'The skull's alive!'
But it cannot be, you won't believe
Your very eyes and ears when it begins to scream

The ritual is underway and soon you'll know insanity
We're people against goodness and normalcy!

It's real! It's real!
The ritual's begun
Beneath the steel
Reveal the shrieking
Reveal the shrieking skull!

It's real! It's real!
The ritual's begun
Beneath the steel
Reveal the shrieking!
You've asked for this a million times, now you'll be paid in full
Reveal! Reveal!
Reveal the shrieking skull!
It goes up!
