Demons Lyrics by Nap Eyes

2024

The moon through total darkness hurrying
Illuminates the snow in flight;
Clouds are whirling, clouds are scurrying
Dark is the sky, and dark the night
Across the open plain I’m driven;
The little bell goes Ding-ding-ding . .
By holy dread my soul is riven
Such emptiness is gathering
“Coachman, drive them faster, faster! . . .”
“Can’t, sir; they’re too tired, you see;
I’m blinded by the blizzard, master;
The roads are drifting heavily;
Can’t see the horses – lost the track, sir;
We’re done for – we’ll be frozen – whey! . .
Some demon’s got us – that’s a fact, sir!
A demon’s leading us astray
“Look, there he is! He’s teasing, blowing
Spitting at me . . . Lord! this one’s mean –
He’s scared the horses – they’ll be going
Headlong into some damned ravine;
He’s right in front – Lord, isn’t he frightening!
Dressed like a milestone (bloody queer);
There he goes, off again, like lightning!
God save us, master – that was near.”
The moon through total darkness hurrying
Illuminates the snow in flight;
Clouds are whirling, clouds are scurrying
Dark is the sky, and dark the night
We lurch in circles, strength declining;
Suddenly silent is the bell;
The team has halted . . . “What’s that shining?” . .
“Tree-stump or wolf, sir – who can tell?”
The storm is howling, the storm is crying
Drives itself harder, in despair;
The horses snort; away he’s flying
Only his eyes in the grey murk flare;
The horses strain upon their traces;
The little bell goes Ding-ding-ding . .
I see, amidst the endless spaces
A host of spirits, gathering
Numberless and formless devils
In the blizzard’s moonlit haze
Twirling in their murky revels
As leaves swirl in November days . .
So many! So many! And being carried
Whither? Why do they plaintively sing?
Is there a witch who’s getting married?
Some goblin are they burying?
The moon through total darkness hurrying
Illuminates the snow in flight;
Clouds are whirling, clouds are scurrying
Dark is the sky, and dark the night
Swarm upon swarm of demons, streaking
On through this limbo without end
And with their plaintive howls and shrieking
They pounce upon my heart, and rend
