Lyrics


BLACKBIRD FROM KARACHI feat. D. TSCHIRNER DEDICATED TO SHANTARAM ( BOOK BY G.ROBERTS)

IN FULL MOON GLOW
SHE FELL FROM THE STARS
INTO MY ARMS
SPELLS OF HER BEAUTY
LIGHT MY HEART
WATCHING HER DANCE
IN CANDLELIGHT
SHE HAS A NAME THAT LINGERS ON
LONG AFTER SHE IS GONE

SKY HAS FALLEN ON MY WORLD
BLACKBIRD TOLD ME YOU ARE GONE
NOW I SEE THEY WERE REAL
THINGS THAT HAUNTED YOU IN YOUR DREAMS
OUR LIVES WAS BORROWED TIME
YOU SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK
CURSE WAS PUT ON YOU TO BE
SLAVE OF WICKED CULT FOREVER

ONE YEAR HAS PASSED-STILL FEEL THE PAIN
LAST NIGHT BLACKBIRD CAME AGAIN
FOLLOW SIGNS THAT GUIDE THE DREAM
LOOK FOR HER IT IS YOUR FATE
IF ONLY ONCE IN HOLLOW DREAM
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR US TO MEET
IT WAS NOT REAL YOU DID NOT TALK
IN TWILIGHT HANDED ME A NOTE

…FROM ONE PRISON TO ANOTHER, INSIDE FOUR STINKING WALLS THE PULSING BEAT OF HEART FADING BUT THEN… FIND ME IN KARACHI WE WILL GO TO THE DESERT AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE, EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE..

BACK ON THE KARACHI STREETS
NO LOOKING BACK AND NO RETREAT
MY ONLY WAY TO STAY IS TO KEEP UP WITH THE MOB
SEE IT ALL FOR REAL
IN SHACKS THEY LIVE LIKE HUNGRY DOGS IN TRASH
ONCE FOUND YOUR TRACK I WILL NEVER MISS IT THIS TIME NO MATTER HOW MUCH BLOOD WILL RUN IN THE KARACHI GUTTER

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
