Vampyrouss - "Truth Despoiler" (2019) Lyrics: It is never far away That stalking, ever creeping dread Embodied by the venomous Cretinous shadow which lies in wait... Peer into my eyes and ponder What goes on inside my mind How the cogs whir counter clockwise And lines are crossed, borders intertwined Where truth meets with pure malice My warped reality gestates Forgoing fact for fallacy The difference soon dissipates The rumour mill keeps churning Rotting from inside Listening intently For the bavardage it seeks They’ll never learn Or see through the disguise Lapping up all falsities The truth despoiler speaks It feeds upon attention That fiendish force of malevolence Engorging itself on tension It is he who tugs upon the thread... Hear me now willing fodder As I lay this long, plotted path of lies A trail that winds deep into the trees With the forest lost to those inside Wherein truth becomes obsolete My deceit is free to manifest Befouling all fact with fallacy For those ensnared within to ingest Don’t… look… into… its eyes Don’t… believe… the fables… the lies Watch... out… for the web… it weaves Choke it... deny it… the putrid air… it breathes...

Vampyrouss - "Jagged Pieces" (2019) Lyrics: With moonlight as the only guide We wander side by side The silence growing deafening I dare not catch your eye The bluish hues surround us Casting shadows on our shame To mask our true expressions… Our journey has led us this far Into the murky dark unknown Casting out the doubts, we hide Together, never more alone Despite our best intentions Every effort remains in vain All the trampled, jagged pieces Can never fit back together again Time rolls ever on regardless of The shards left in our open wounds Winding on through all the noise And the silent ones gone far too soon Memories left, fading away A cruel mockery this mortal game So claim a draw whilst it’s there to breathe Then bury the regrets with the rest of me But until that day dawns it’s final rays We will close that tome on an empty page With moonlight as the only guide We wander side by side The silence growing deafening I dare not catch your eye The bluish hues surround us Casting shadows on our shame To mask our true expressions: Empty, shallow, grave We continue upon this path The far less travelled road Passing by the warning signs, still blind To the destination unknown In spite of our best efforts The outcome remains the same All the fractured, jagged pieces Left in the wake of our mistakes... So little left, traded away For a handful of scars, ancient runes Yet we still convince ourselves in the dead of the night All the lies that we wish would come true The brooding moonlight’s soothing light A spotlight on the scene Of the long dark night of the soulless Succumbing to the need The prose tinted glasses shattered Revealing the endgame Expressionless we walk away Empty, shallow, grave Every dead end diverted Still the sequence remains unbreached Passing by our past mistakes and ties All our vanquished hopes and dreams… Despite our best intentions Every effort remains in vain All the trampled, jagged pieces Can never fit back together again In spite of our best efforts The outcome remains the same All the fractured, jagged pieces Left in the wake of our mistakes...
