lyrics

"Here I am lying down to sleep
No nightmare shall plague me
until they have swum through all the waters
that flow upon the earth
and counted all stars
that appear in the skies
Thus help me God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen!"

[Old German prayer]

I close my eyes again
I let the spirits put their spell
Cold hands embracing me
I cannot move, I cannot breathe

Oh no!

Trapped in this semi-weakened state
As shadow figures fills the room
I feel the pressure on my chest
And ominous, foreboding sense

Of dread!

Tonight I'll sleep with the dead
I walk with them when I rest my head

Beyond the realm of dream, they always come to me
My body's numb but the eyes can see

When slumber overlaps my consciousness
The ghosts and living interfere
The sens of self disappears
And I see disfigured me

I want them vanish into the ether
A shapeless phantoms of the night
Am I possessed or just insane
All I want to be awake

Tonight I'll sleep with the dead
I walk with them when I rest my head

Beyond the realm of dream, they always come to me
My body's numb but the eyes can see

EVANGELIST has grabbed me like no other band in the past few years. While I am honestly a late-comer to the epic doom metal genre, this band tops the list for great clean, non-fuzzy, epic doom metal that shakes your bones and sears your soul. Soulful vocals, heavier than heavy rhythms, and blistering lead guitars. I'm loving what I'm hearing, and I'm hoping EVANGELIST is a long-lived band because I'm now a fan for life! Hoyt Parris
