Like a twisted, psycho, sexy, marathon of mayhem, tickling the grey matter between my ears… just what I needed.
As soon as I heard it, I had to have it.
Favorite track: His Beautiful Darkness.

I COVER HER HORNS Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © copyright 2019-2022 They threw her from the Circus train, Wrapped in cowhide and rusty chains, Blinded by an astronaut She’s convinced that I wrote paper 53. I know longer do what I’m told, I’ve purposefully burnt my only road. God has lied to me! He promised! He promised we’d be free. Now the son of the morning is here, Preaching hate and gifting Rubes with fear. She eats cotton candy and guards A box of snakes. The super universe, lullabies And peacock fakes. I can’t hold the one book Without the rest. I cover her horns, as long as She remains my guest. God has lied to me! He promised! He promised we’d be free. Now the son of the morning is here, Preaching hate and gifting Rubes with fear. God has lied to me! He promised! He promised we’d be free. Now the son of the morning is here, Preaching hate and gifting Rubes with fear.

GARGOYLE PROJEKT Lyrics by E. December Joseph & Music by K. Fantom © copyright 2019-2022 My cart is stacked with Burnt bodies, with eyes as blue As the sky. The smell of burning meat Soaks sweetly through my feet. Don’t remove them! They protect you! Evil that guards them and keeps you Safe from hell. I beg you, don’t remove them Or damnation will ring, Ring its bell. I tried to tell them It was a mistake as they removed All the gargoyles from the church tops. Even priests burnt alive On holy ground, swim fleshless To the Nazarene. I despise the demonic gathering As legions marched on the Ruins of God’s beloved house. Just a simple plague doctor, I Crawled inside a hollow body To hide. Don’t remove them They protect you Evil that guards them and keeps you Safe from hell I beg you, don’t remove them Or damnation will ring Ring its bell I’ve come across a Family of gargoyles, Standing with melting flesh. Their wings burn like the sails of A Viking ship screaming across the winter seas. I realize, as I push the Cart to the end of the road, That no one will whisper in My ears about love’s affair of blood And sinister craft. They don’t have the tools To sculpt heaven’s fearful door Or the knowledge to understand hell’s Tempered score. Don’t remove them.

TASTE OF WORMS Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © copyright 2022 A cause And effect. I can feel death Wrapped around my neck. Formidable, But regrettable. God has opened Pandora’s box! I feel Insane! There’s nothing but blood Dripping from my brain. Mortified! Crucified! Lovely zombies are Coming my way. I have a gift for you, The dead have candy canes. The taste of worms Is salty and sweet. Will you come with me? Come play in the dark. I am sorry, You can never return. Screaming crows, Wendigo foes, The forest is filled With dire souls. Help me Die! Darkness has witnessed My only lie. The end of days, Has its ways I hang roadkill For the thrill. Untouched, But willing, To stand by and watch All the killing. I have a gift for you The dead have candy canes. The taste of worms Is salty and sweet. I was just wondering Will you kill for me? I promise you I can hide you away! I have a gift for you The dead have candy canes. The taste of worms Is salty and sweet. Will you take that road? Where no one goes, I’ll be at the end, With a devil’s grin.

DREADFUL WISH Lyrics by E. December Joseph & Music by K. Fantom © Copyright 2022 They tossed me into the fight, They made sure I Lost my life, I’ve disclosed, everything I know. There’s a girl that Walks without a face, She looks in a mirror, Dies without a trace. Who are you? To show me love’s contempt I have a stoic soul That’s not bent! I don’t care if I die alone at night, I’m alright, I have the sight. I love the sinful Look in your eyes, I love how your Heart stops beating. I love the way The moon remembers All of our deadly nights I’ll tell you something You don’t realize, Monsters don’t die! They just multiply. Morbid treasures slip Into a paradox, Confusion rides a pointless Eulogy. I don’t care, as I Blindly stare transfixed. Earthly hell, And a demon mix. Hear the screams inside This broken box. Beware It might talk back. A hangman boos A laughing crowd He’s confused, but He’s so proud. Nothing swims in a In a frozen lake. If I die, My soul don’t take Listen to the ramblings Of a worldly fool Fire doesn’t burn In a frog-less pool. Walk with me to The tree of unknown years, Circus lights Damn your fears! This is my dreadful wish, My wish, My wish

HIS BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © Copyright 2016-2022 There once was this demon, Who dreamt of leaving, someday from hell. Then one day, he just slipped away. Ripped and torn wings, were the cost. Amazed at trees and pretty dark things, He was happy, but lost Happy, but lost. The clang of bells and a twisted voice yells, Somewhere from below. Come home now and slaughter the sow, Because, you can’t stay here. If you run, well you’re nobody’s son And they will bury you here You don’t want to die here. He walked toward the sun, defiant to the one, With scorched and cracked skin. He ripped out his heart! What a melancholy start, To the cleansing of sin. That little demon, never went out screaming, leaving his magic behind. His beautiful darkness, remains entombed, Until the spiderweb chimes.

AS SHE SLUMBERS Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © Copyright 2016-2022 There’s purpose in a rotting vine, There’s anguish in a glass of offered wine. There’s darkness in her poweredbeauty weeping And there’s horror often, never seen creeping. She feels something slightly amiss, As her disdain takes a drastic twist! Friend or foe or sister dear, her eyes have Turned black and her hellish intent clear. As she slumbers She dreams of death Looking forward to whatever Comes next. As she muses over written tears She slowly stirs, flesh and fear. Cattails sweet, they smell of gloom She’s not far, She’s hidden in the room They know she’s mad, there’s no doubt, They try hard not to talk about Her touch is cold, like mountain rain Her sisters fear she’s insane! The step mother spits and turns her back Silent crows quickly claw and attack. She plotted to take their very souls, But instead, decided to just eat them whole. Chop! Chop! Off with their heads A stew made best, with the freshly dead. Confused the stepmother asked, “Where’s my girls?” Nothing said, but darkness stirs, Here’s a bowl, another bowl makes two. They’re not far, Now eat your stew!

THE BOY WHO MARRIED THE SPIDER-FACE GIRL Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © Copyright 2016-2022 She’s home I slowly creep, Bringing her Her favorite treat. Spider cotton Cotton candy She’s an angel Of monstrous kind. An unwilling pawn That stands as mine. She gently lays, Her head in my lap. Chanting softly Dark ballads of love. She begs me please, Don’t leave She dances above, Some freshly dug grave. And warmly welcomes, All of Earth’s depraved. Don’t want you To hunt her! Trap her! Kill her! Or charge a dollar, To see her in some show. I am the boy Who married the Spider-face girl. She smiles eternal. Pink candles coil She’s afraid! Devils aren’t loyal, She no loner worries/ Her web has bled. Don’t turn away, Or whisper her name. A violent beauty, Singing love’s name.

TWIG SKELETON Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © Copyright 2022 The Twig skeleton tries To whisper to me via The wind through his jaw But, he only makes a whistle And that is all. The Twig skeleton winks at me And moves through The dead branches beneath My feet. He hops onto my shoulder Scribbles his name in frog blood On the flesh of my cheek. The Twig skeleton is very Small and he rides on a Hog-nose snake, to eagerly meet The Toad king. He has some grand plan, but he needs the amphibian clan, Without them, he can never Find Nocfayland. Well to his unfortunate dismay Today would be his last day Because the Hog-nose snake ate The king. Damn! Swallowed him whole! And before the snake shit him out, His Salamander guards seized and Crushed the Twig skeleton into dust.

TAKE THIS ROSE Lyrics & Music by E. December Joseph © Copyright 2022 Take this rose, It’s from death, with her kisses I can finally see. Take this rose, It’s from death, she’s given me Instructions to set her free. Take this rose, It’s from death, the Kelpie tricks His riders. Take this rose, It’s from death, she pens a Book of horrors. Take this rose, It’s from death, she can’t reach The weeping willow. Take this rose, It’s from death, she wants you wrapped In a box of sorrow. Take this rose, It’s from death, God never said, Demons weren’t welcome. Take this rose, It’s from death, she said sleep! You’ll bleed tomorrow. Take this rose, It’s from death, a feast of bats Is certain. Take this rose, It’s from death, she winks and pulls Life’s curtain. Take this rose, It’s from death, there’s a spiteful Witch a brewing. Take this rose, It’s from death, blood is so amusing. If I should die, before I wake I pray to God my soul Don’t take! Leave me on this mortal coil, So I can become the blacken soil.
