Lyrics of 'Scream Feeding' by Archspire

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
