Infinite Spectrum - 2:12 AM lyrics

Midnight, August eighth, rain on the roof Harbinger of the great storm to come I feel it, I know it when I see the lightning strikes I fear my time is short This unholy connection growing stronger I see what it sees, It knows where I am The lights must not go... Thunder fills the sky tonight City loses sleep One a.m. a frantic call, lines are down complete Pitch black, outside my window Lightning flashes city streets 2:12 a.m. the lights go out Citywide is power lost I see the things the Haunter sees Townfolk below do counterplot With candle, flashlights, crucifix they hold the thing at bay Rising wind blows out the flames Sounds from the steeple stray They say their prayers, defy the wind as they relight the flames They call the priest to invoke the Almighty's name Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising Frenzy, despair, the darkness is rising Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising 2:35 sound swells in the black tower Foul smell of evil emanates from the church A loud splinter of wood and a crash in the church yard High windows agape, it's attempting to escape Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising Free will the cost, no use in fighting Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising Half numb, with awe I watch my mind is not my own Through eyes of a monster watching those below Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising Free will the cost, no use in fighting Fear paralyzing, the darkness rising Wind howls like the flapping of wings Fire extinguished, all lost in blackest night Chaos ensues, the crowd trembles in fright Left in a world without the light I sense it coming for me from the east there is no escape from the beast Like a formless cloud of smoke the Haunter does approach Trapped within dark worlds of wonder, clouded in a haze Entranced by blackest magic, Haunter has me in its gaze Connection of the darkest order, controlled in every way Stirring my subconscious, struggling hard to look away I write my final thoughts, like some frantic eulogy I lose train of thought, I lose myself, like in a dream Losing hold on reality I slip into the fray Must document the story's end The Haunter makes its way False memory, I see things I never knew before Other worlds, other dark galaxies, visions seen nevermore The long, winging flight through the void Cannot cross into the white light Caught in the Shining Crystal, thoughts forever lost in time I'm Robert Harrison Blake I am on this planet Sense of distance gone Far is near, near is far Roderick Usher, am I going mad? I am it and it is I Must get out, unify the forces It knows where I am Sense transfigured, I see the tower in the dark I see it coming for me Hell-wind, titan blur, black wings, Yog-Sothoth, save me from the three-lobed burning eye Lights out, hope lost, the darkness is rising Frenzy, despair, fear paralyzing Possessed, God help me, the darkness is rising Free will the cost, no use in fighting A flash of lightning, all is lost, the Haunter in mid-flight Electric surges through its form and surges through my mind Light sends it back to its own world, trapped in darkness, blind Terror filled, insanity, rigid body left behind
