Ethereal Confrontation: A Haunting Tale by Slaves of Dissonance
Lyrics
Awoken by a sense of dread
Awakened with a feeling of intense fear
I heard a call from the hall that said
Heard a beckoning call from a distant place
Come to me all will be well
Assurance of safety if approached
Arose and felt the grievance swell
Emotions rising with resentment or distress
Turned the corner saw her there
Saw her unexpectedly
Blackened frame the cold still air
A scene tainted with darkness and motionless atmosphere
A look that froze me in my place
A gaze that immobilized the person
I never thought I'd see that face
A surprising encounter with an unexpected face
Too terrified to even scream
Too scared to vocalize
Floating toward me an even stream
Approaching steadily, seemingly effortlessly
And now I can't
Experiencing an inability to breathe
Breathe
Literal difficulty in breathing, possibly due to fear or shock
Caught in her demonic otherworldly gaze and I can't
Trapped in a gaze that seems supernatural and menacing
Breathe
Reiteration of the difficulty in breathing due to fear
My heart skips a beat and all the while I can not
Heartbeat irregular due to fear or stress
Breathe
Continued difficulty in breathing
Caught in her demonic otherworldly gaze and I can't
Continued feeling of being trapped in a haunting gaze
Breathe
Continued struggle to breathe
My heart skips a beat and all the while I can not
Repetition of the heartbeat skipping due to stress or fear
Breathe
Intensifying struggle to breathe
I'm gasping now this must be death
Feeling of suffocation or impending death
To take me for my final drink at Lethe
Reference to Lethe, a river of forgetfulness in Greek mythology associated with death
And I still can't
Still experiencing difficulty in breathing
Breathe
Continued entrapment in a frightening gaze
Caught in her demonic otherworldly gaze and I can't
Continued struggle to breathe due to the haunting gaze
Breathe
Heart palpitations persist due to fear or stress
My heart skips a beat and all the while I can not
Continued difficulty in breathing
Breathe
Continued feeling of being trapped in a menacing gaze
Caught in her demonic otherworldly gaze and I can't
Reiteration of the struggle to breathe
Breathe
Heart palpitations persist due to fear or stress
My heart skips a beat and all the while I can not
Repetition of the heartbeat irregularity due to stress
Breathe
Repetition of the difficulty in breathing
Breathe
Reiterated struggle to breathe due to the haunting gaze
Caught in her demonic otherworldly gaze and I can't
Continued heart palpitations due to fear or stress
Breathe
Continued difficulty in breathing
My heart skips a beat and all the while I can not
Heartbeat irregularities persist due to fear or stress
Breathe
Final repetition of the struggle to breathe
