Lycanthropy
Phantasm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scared by its sight
Hear your cry
Stalk prey in the night
Lust of hunger inside
Caught your feast for tonight
Claws cut flesh open wide
Running from hunters that try to kill you
From killing their daughters so unbelievably true
They crack you down and shoot you with lead
It's not good enough I'm still not dead
You run through the night like a savage
Killing everyone in your sight
Your rip their hearts from their body
To revive the power in this night
You come across your father
He holds a gun to your head
He wipes a tear from his eye
He fires the shot your dead
The song "Lycanthropy" by Phantasm depicts the transformation of a human into a werewolf, or lycanthrope, during a full moon. The lyrics describe the fear and anxiety that the sight of the moon brings, as well as the hunger and lust for flesh that the werewolf feels. The creature stalks its prey in the night, driven by the primal instincts of its animal nature. The lyrics also depict the sense of threat and persecution that the werewolf experiences, as it is hunted by humans who seek to kill it. Despite the werewolf's formidable strength and ferocity, it ultimately meets its end at the hands of its own father.
The song is a powerful representation of the human psyche's darker impulses, and the struggle between our civilized and animalistic tendencies. It also touches on themes of self-destruction, as the werewolf's actions lead to its own demise. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and isolation, as the werewolf comes to terms with the consequences of its transformation.

LYRICS
Side A
1. A Burning Sensation 05:59
The dreaded party begins
To test your faith in them
You drink the horrid solution
Coughing up blood and phlegm
Your body intestines start to decay
The bones of your body are blackened
Your heart emerges up to your throat
As your flesh begins to cracken
The burning sensation you love to feel
Controls your mind crazy but real
Permissive ways no longer exist
Forcing its way you can't resist
Wretched pain flows the body
Open sores now infected
Pain so great you can't refuse
Germs are now infested
Arthritis sets in the bones
Now clipped for life
You want to end it now
Stop this horrid strife
2. Keeper of the Dead 04:27
Dark world set upon me
My own dream of fantasy and what to be
Control the dead and the earth a new rebirth
Strucken by this feeling a different light I'm seeing
Walk into my path and you will see
The living dead and what you'll be
Come forth and drain your life into me
Forever you'll live in ecstacy
Blood flows through my veins
Makes its evil stains no good remains
Feel the suction of my teeth deep underneath
And all the pain that you feel you bare to reveal
Walk into my path and you will see
The living dead and what you'll be
Come forth and drain your life into me
Forever you'll live in ecstacy
Dance among the dead when your with me
Your heart suddenly stops from the sight your see
Decrepit old bones from their graves stand tall
Mauling at your neck as your take a fall
Awaken at last now with the dead
Searching for blood in the deepest red
Sucking it down with nastily needs
Loving the blood the blood that feeds
Dance among the dead when you're with me
Your heart suddenly stops from the sight your see
Decrepit old bones from their graves stand tall
Mauling at your neck as your take a fall
Walk into my path and you will see
The living dead and what you'll be
Come forth and drain your life into me
Forever you'll live in ecstacy
3. The Dead Care Center 07:09
Bodies upon bodies pulled in this place
No one seems to care how they've died
There thrown into caskets and cremated to ash
But now you'll see the way that they'll be
There's someone who cares about the dead
He walks so tall with eyes so red
He'll rob the graves and mend the bodies
Perfect their form prepared to storm
He pump the fluid into their veins
Evil source is all that remains
The bodies now shrunken and filled with demise
Again they live reborn to rise
They follow his order to crush the living
Bring back the death new life he's giving
Adsorbed by death now nothing they fear
Your time will come it's so near
Ground is broken bodies gone
To their saviour work is done
Now their life starts again
Corrupt the world filled with sin
Half the world is now dead
Soon to become a world of dread
The word is out people scared
They now fight back the ones who cared
The war is on the bash of blood
Slaughter to slaughter they both stand strong
Parts of bodies lay on the ground
But the dead now gone no where around
There's someone who cares about the dead
He walks so tall with eyes so red
He'll rob the graves and mend the bodies
Perfect their form prepared to storm
4. Palace of Blood 09:29
Arise to the palace for now it wakes
Opening its doors it now awaits
Figures of dead summoned from the past
Haunting your soul will you die at last
Living in anguish living in pain
Now it has your life you no longer maintain
Consumption of blood for it will devour
Leaving you dead and it all the power
Dripping the walls red flowing free
Hunger for more is all that you'll see
Temptation divine pulling in more
Morbid the torture that's all your here for
Wrenching and whining for help to be near
No one comes in the palace they fear
Soon to be taken to worlds of unknown
Waiting the moment until it is shown
Twisting and turning through rancid descent
Visions of creatures grow strong
Ripping the skin clear off your body
How much more torture how long
Sucking and draining the palace of blood
Unbeatable creatures beholding their reign
Grasping your soul as they grow
Point of distinction is where you are now
Thrown in the void with the flow
Hidden in shadows to keep from denial
Opening eyes see victims arrival
Sensuous bodies to suck all but dry
Tears turn to blood as they cry

6. A Rotting Surprise 05:59
Mask of white dressed in black
Time has come to attack
Cannibal killer Satan's son
This he is all in one
Scared to death of his sight
Cannot run cannot fight
Crazy bastard out of control
Jumps on you he's death's patrol
Nails of razors cut your flesh
Smell of blood it's so fresh
Bites your ribs crushes your lung
Now you're dead on a hook you're strung
Out for more needs his fill
Crazed of mind blood he'll spill
Eating his food loving the taste
Bite by bite none to waste
Little to know victim of disease
Suffer of pain soon to decease
Killed by his kind now he's gone
Who will last disease undone
Nails of razors cut your flesh
Smell of blood it's so fresh
Bites your ribs crushes your lung
Now he's dead on a hook he's strung
7. Put to Sleep 07:58
I arise at the call of my name
I answer my victims dreams
They call me to take away their pain
I do just what they say
Let me in I'm your friend
My untruthful word works again
I'm the fear of what they dread
So now they'll sleep like a dead
Conjure me and there I'll be
To take your life to join with me
Forgive me not you have lost
That's the price a deadly cost
Loss of life now your mine
You thought your life was so divine
Temptation strong you had to fall
To your knees to me you crawl
Conjure me and there I'll be
To take your life to join with me
Forgive me not you have lost
That's the price a deadly cost
I will save you from this world
Nothing stops me they'll follow now
Power so great inside of me
Let them learn let them see
Scramble their brains now in control
Take their lives that's the toll
Go in search of life content rising high
Feel the pleasure flow's sweet pain is all they'll know
Storage of their brain their power you obtain
Put to sleep by me corpse is rotting well
Now you will see our kind will always dwell
Find are way is best well never go down
Put you down to rest upon your head I pound

Back in the day one of the few people who heard our stuff said, "Dude, you guys sound kind of like Phantasm." It was obviously meant as a compliment, though at the time we didn't take it as a big one since we weren't aiming to sound like them in particular. Listening to Lycanthropy in 2020 I have to say that with how unpracticed we were it was a pretty generous statement. Wisconsin respect.
Riccardo Gasparoli
So, three years ago I had and an incident and I was forced to bed for 3 months. In that time,I do not know why, I discovered Phantasm. And this band deserves so much! I love this sound, it is perfect!

@Raymond Williams Well yes!
