Lyrics

BATTLE FOR BABYLON

DEAR FRIEND,
IT`S BEEN YEARS SINCE YOU AND I LAST SPOKE
I KEPT MY SECRETS CLOSE
THESE ARE THE LAST OF MY WORDS BEFORE I GO
DARK CLOUDS ARE FILLING THE SKIES
I`LL CHANGE MY PEN FOR A SWORD TOMORROW
I`VE SEEN IN MY DREAMS PLAYED IT LIKE
A MOVIE UNTIL IT BECAME REAL

WE ARE JUST MOMENTS IN TIME
STORIES THAT SLIP THROUGH FINGERS LIKE SAND
FEEL THE LONELY WIND
IT HOWLS OF THE FUTURE UNCERTAIN AND FRAIL
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS PLACE?
THAT KEEPS US COMING BACK AND FALL
LIKE STARDUST FROM A SHATTERED WORLD

BATTLE FOR BABYLON
I FIGHT ON MY OWN
VISIONS OF THE BLINDED WORLD
CUT DEEP IN MY SOUL
YOU WERE MY ONLY STAR
NOW I WATCH AS YOU FALL
WHILE ANGELS AND DEMONS
FIGHT FOR YOUR SOUL AND FIGHT FOR IT ALL

SOME ARE BORN TO SWEET DELIGHT
SOME ARE BORN TO ENDLESS NIGHT
AS ABOVE SO IS BELOW
WHERE DO ALL THE MISSING ONES GO?

BATTLE FOR BABYLON...



Spookshow inc. reveals the nightmare of Reaper Creeper this Halloween

They stir, they come, the souls of the dead emerge from deep graves and the even deeper realms of the underworld to play and collect and there among them is the ‘Reaper Creeper’.

Whether you embrace or cower in the dark realms of Halloween, its suggested wicked deeds and nefarious stories annually fascinate long after the single day of celebration, a nagging call on the imagination which the new single from Spookshow inc. shares in its dark tale and aural drama.

Since 2003, when Norwegian based Lucky Spook (guitar, programming, songwriting, producer) brought Spookshow inc. to life with vocalist Soltex, the project has ventured the darkest corners and depths of life, storytelling and a world on a self-destruct fuelled spiral with a sound just as boldly adventurous and ravenous in its stalking and seducing of ears. Their 2018 released debut album, “Visions of the Blinded World”, gathered rich acclaim with its ever experimental landscape of creativity and a sound which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Pink Floyd, Prodigy, Rob Zombie, KMFDM, and NIN but more so a recognition of its esurient uniqueness.

2024 will see its successor, “Only Forward”, unveiled and before it for Samhain, the sinister ‘Reaper Creeper’. As the forthcoming full-length, the October 31st released single (together with a lyrics video) features Leo Margarit (Pain of Salvation) on drums, Florian Arnaud (Virtual Realm) on bass and long-time Spookshow inc. collaborator Subliminal Mentality alongside Lucky Spook and Soltex. The song is a seductive fusion of dark storytelling amid innocence cast curiosity and dread within the court of predacious sound. Spookshow inc. can never been described as mainstream in its invention and imagination but the track sees the band at their most virulently infectious and captivating.

Like an arcane mix of White Zombie and Creature Feature to try and share its incitement with the imagination, ‘Reaper Creeper’ sets the scene for the new evolution in Spookshow inc.’s thickly individual sound which will reveal its full landscape of temptation within next year’s “Only Forward”. It is also a song though, within its ironic take on Halloween and darkness seeded stories, shaped with and charged for fun; the kind of incitement which could ring around young voices during Trick-or-treating escapades and themed parties with the song’s young choir for company.

William Shakespeare wrote "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." That wickedness is ‘Reaper Creeper’ and it awaits your company, fears and keen involvement this Halloween @ https://soundcloud.com/spookshow-inc-1/spookshow-inc-reaper-creeper-feat-subliminal-mentality
