The Time Traveler's Constant

from The Time Traveler's Constant by The Extraordinary Contraptions

/

lyrics

Flashing white, my mirror blind
Escape ahead, and death behind
Screaming sound, my ship it waits
Through space and time, and hell’s own gates

Clad in white, heart of black (deceiver)
Cold dead eyes set your trap (believe her)
‘Neath your cowl a grisly hide (lives to kill)
Rotten, foul personified (is evil)

Black your hat, dark your soul
Scores mine eyes, and yours like coal

Eyes borne wide, baring teeth (
Chilling smile for deadly deeds (
Steeple arms pray for life (
Fear no harm, unsheath thy knife (

credits

from The Time Traveler's Constant, released August 30, 2012
Drum kit and percussion by Teodore Birchard.
Weird noises by the band.
The crickets as themselves.
