about

So, I was looking through random words, as one does.
& I came across this word & read the definition - 'the formation of monsters'
it immediately inspired a song. - a song where I was able to relate the lyrics to real life as well as fairy tale story lines, & I was also inspired to create a fantasy inspired sound scape, which hopefully takes you on a monster of a ride.
for some reason I found it quite easy to write about things like impending doom.
actually, this one really reminds me of my childhood & some of the nightmares & even some of the real experiences I had as a kid. some of the people I was around as a kid became awfully ugly things & the only good thing that really came from that, would be this song.

lyrics

11 Teratogeny

Have they any redeeming quality?
If they don't, watch them grow into what they will.
In the future of their teratogeny,
they finally become what they were in their thoughts.

It's never been done before, it's not safe.
Could only prove to break them more, remake their face.

We could build a vice to break it's back.
Hold it still, at least it's not moving.
Do you know where it plans to go?
Watch it close, it will move after sleep.
Go & lay in wait, vice in hand.
& if you can't finish it, keep it locked up.

I heard you say that it came while you slept.
It's taken shape of a man, filled, contaminated.
Look what it's become.

Let me out before you break anything else.
Growing strong & losing your kindness.
Your only wish is to see things break.
If it's whole, it can't suit you, you're undone.

Here we lay in wait, vice in hand.
When it comes for us, don't hold back.

All that you said. that it came while we slept.
It's taken hold of the heart you had,
Altered heart form, look what it's become.

From the pieces that I saved.
It's broken, what good is there to stay?
I feel the fear raised on my arms.
Now I'm running before I'm cornered.

I have to run to escape, coz it came after me.
It's taken hold of my heart. Filled, contaminated, look what it's become.
