Illusion
The Creatures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The fear of the night
Depraved souls of a withering life
Burning skin, rotting flesh
Blood cease everything, just swallow it

The fear of the night
Born into darkness, a mothers blessing touch
Anointed in oil, led in to fire
Blood cease everything, just swallow it


Illusions of the night, lust, fear
Knock on the doors of hell, burn bright

The fear of the night
Like insects crawling up your spine
Fill your cup, drink the wine
Blood cease everything, just swallow it

Illusions of the night, lust, fear
Knock on the doors of hell, burn bright
Illusions of the night, the fear
Gathered in dungeons and rotten tombs to bleed

Chasing virgin souls
In search of sacrifice
Like a snake strangling it's prey
Through vast seas and fields
Heeding his master's call
Bowing down to obey





A sacrifice in blood, the master takes
