2:12 Am Lyrics - Infinite Spectrum

Midnight, August eighth, rain on the roof 

Harbinger of the great storm to come 

I feel it, I know it 

when I see the lightning strikes 

I fear my time is short 

This unholy connection growing stronger 

I see what it sees, It knows where I am 

The lights must not go... 

Thunder fills the sky tonight 

City loses sleep 

One a.m. a frantic call, 

lines are down complete 

Pitch black, outside my window 

Lightning flashes city streets 

2:12 a.m. the lights go out 

Citywide is power lost 

I see the things the Haunter sees 

Townfolk below do counterplot 

With candle, flashlights, crucifix 

they hold the thing at bay 

Rising wind blows out the flames 

Sounds from the steeple stray 

They say their prayers, 

defy the wind as they relight the flames 

They call the priest 

to invoke the Almighty's name 

Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising 

Frenzy, despair, the darkness is rising 

Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising 

2:35 sound swells in the black tower 

Foul smell of evil emanates from the church 

A loud splinter of wood 

and a crash in the church yard 

High windows agape, it's attempting to escape 

Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising 

Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing 

Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising 

Free will the cost, no use in fighting 

Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising 

Half numb, with awe I watch 

my mind is not my own 

Through eyes of a monster 

watching those below 

Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising 

Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing 

Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising 

Free will the cost, no use in fighting 

Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising 

Wind howls like the flapping of wings 

Fire extinguished, all lost in blackest night 

Chaos ensues, the crowd trembles in fright 

Left in a world without the light 

I sense it coming for me from the east 

there is no escape from the beast 

Like a formless cloud of smoke 

the Haunter does approach 

Trapped within dark worlds of wonder, 

clouded in a haze 

Entranced by blackest magic, 

Haunter has me in its gaze 

Connection of the darkest order, 

controlled in every way 

Stirring my subconscious, 

struggling hard to look away 

I write my final thoughts, 

like some frantic eulogy 

I lose train of thought, 

I lose myself, like in a dream 

Losing hold on reality 

I slip into the fray 

Must document the story's end 

The Haunter makes its way 

False memory, 

I see things I never knew before 

Other worlds, other dark galaxies, 

visions seen nevermore 

The long, winging flight through the void 

Cannot cross into the white light 

Caught in the Shining Crystal, 

thoughts forever lost in time 

I'm Robert Harrison Blake 

I am on this planet 

Sense of distance gone 

Far is near, near is far 

Roderick Usher, am I going mad? 

I am it and it is I 

Must get out, unify the forces 

It knows where I am 

Sense transfigured, I see the tower in the dark 

I see it coming for me 

Hell-wind, titan blur, black wings, 

Yog-Sothoth, save me 

from the three-lobed burning eye 

Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising 

Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing 

Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising 

Free will the cost, no use in fighting 

A flash of lightning, all is lost, 

the Haunter in mid-flight 

Electric surges through its form 

and surges through my mind 

Light sends it back to its own world, 

trapped in darkness, blind 

Terror filled, insanity, 

rigid body left behind
