Lyrics Scream Feeding - Archspire

Scream Feeding

There is an urban dungeon encased in brick
Within it lies a tunnel into the horror of a man’s multiple lives
This mans opposing paths collide
Birthing a mutant mass that hides in the red pulsing glowing windows
One will form a life of moral principle, love and normality
Until discovering his other self killed his whole family
Spoiling his son and wife’s pure essence and innocence
Feeding them to a monster that his minds created
A massive human form made entirely of teeth
Repulsive and dripping that feeds on screams
This hideous form made flesh by the endless pit
That merges parallel dimensions on earth
Three red windows open portals
These windows reveal the same life
When the man was born, when I was woken from my fetal rest
With a rusty kitchen blade
His mother lay open amongst decay
Her peltry gaping, gushing fluid over floor tile
With his first breath of salty cold biting air
My crippled infant chest filled up with sulphur mold and fear
His first vision induced panic stricken cries
Our fathers twisted rotting mind
Peering out from bulging vacant eyes
Altered since delivery
I carry the burden to feed the nightmare
As his loved ones laughter taunts me
I will steal whats dear to him
As I have suffered so shall he
My shadow heaves black vomit
Scream feeding this beast makes it larger
Swelling with each shriek it eats
We’ve bred a man that’s made of many teeth
Scream feeding
He is disgusted yet he watches
As it grows in one of three red windows
Scream feeding
From reeking gums his rotten laughter leeks
As a useless child, nothing more then barely human waste
His first tooth fell from his sunken pale veiny face
He saw that night his creator’s saving grace
When this first sign of mortal decay was placed under his head
In the kennel where he was forced to lay
He dreamed so real, a splendid day
When his mother appeared in flowing white
Shining a brilliant light through the grim encasing cage
Embracing him and taking him away
So he pulled out all his teeth
Split wide.
Path divide
Forced to pry tooth from gum of many others
«The motherless one, you are a fatherless son
Somehow you arrived the night she first appeared
You come from no one
Rising from a parallel realm of the unknown
A cursed dark duplicate from beyond
Cut away.
fallow them
Force them here and be rewarded
Take their skin and you shall see her
Take their cries to use as fodder
Hear this now from me your other
I’m upstairs, you must not come here
Keep my family distant from this secret spawn
Our paths are split, yours is worse
Yet both reflect within each other
I feel your dread when you must feed it
And your crushing envy for my comfort
The creature remains hidden
However, if our paths collide
What we have made will be unleashed
To feast forever.»
Your voice circles through my head… a pathetic plea
I’m crossing over, you will face me.
you will see it’s growth
We will merge in one last feast to set our sick creation free
I smash the glass
I feed the beast our dying screams
It is now released
