From the beginning of time, there has been murder, raping, slaughtering, butchering, horrible things done by mankind. People like you and me, normal on the outside. All of us are living with a dark craving. How long can we hide it? I know no one is innocent. Well, evil is rooted deep inside of us. Waiting patiently, until there is no point of suppressing the sinister thoughts planted inside our minds. Are we born that way or do we simply become like that? History has proven that true horror endures.

I was but a child, playing with a Ouija board. Was my imagination totally running wild? Rattlings on the walls, footsteps in my room at night. Strange dripping noises, flying objects everywhere. Marks and scratches, all I see. Even on my bed and body. Acting strange only at night, when the demon is in sight. Urinating, vomiting. Even broke the Priest’s nose. Let go of your grip on me. Crawl back in the shadows. Chorus: Demonic possession. Malevolent spirit, let me be. Priest, exorcise me. Vade Retro Satanas. This vessel is mine. You will never get away from me. Hell will reign on earth. Chorus x 2

Dark Water 04:00
Black water at Cecil Hotel. Welcome to this dark place from Hell. Eyes peering into the hallway. We sure hope you’ll extend your stay. Faces lurking from the shadows. Time has come to scream and shout. Hiding in the elevator. Voices telling “no way out”. Chorus: Drowned are my remains. Running through your veins. Dark water. Climbing to escape this nightmare. Step by step, to the roof. Vengeful spirits walk beside me. For this haunting, there’s no proof. Chorus Fall into the water tower. Dying as I hear their laughter. Black water at Cecil hotel. Welcome to this dark place from Hell. Blackness dripping from the ceiling. As you taste my rotten body, sickness brewing, there’s no healing. You take home a part of me. Chorus Drink from my remains. Running through your veins. Dark Water.

My purest love guides my lust. The need to gain your trust. Craving for you to be mine. The passion will align. Consume me, the gallows-tree. My sacrifice for paradise. O Lord, I pray for my sins. Yet no one grants me wings. No peace of mind for the profane. Come nightfall I shall reign. Chorus: Feed my thirst, entertain my bloodlust. Watch thee shiver. The suffering I give her. Your life is in my hands. No right soul can save her. I shall not unchain her. Violation, domination, ongoing deformation. Life in my hands. To please me, cry for me. I will not show mercy. Forever, together. To be mine, whenever. For I live in despair, the unholy. My love kills. In the end, there’s no blessing. Chorus x 2

Beaten by father with a belt at age four. Calling me stupid, I could never please him. The man I was no good for. Young men, they lured me inside my fantasy. Let me tell you what happened to me. I’m the true victim in this story. I was the only judge, jury. executioner of many. My property. Clowns get away with murder. They want to see my handcuffs and magic trick. Then they seduce me to torture and murder them. Suffocation, asphyxiation, strangulation. Maybe their minds were sick. No tears from this clown. Chorus: Stupid child, don’t cry. Pretty boys must die. I am not to blame, I’m insane. Bodily fluids leaking under my house. Hiding their bodies. Putrid smell of death, because death is the ultimate thrill. In prison, it came for me. My death, my destiny. The needle inside of me. Now do you see? Pretty boys must die. Chorus x 2
6.
Memories from the past, abandoned, outcast. The alcohol in me, intoxication sets me free. Stripped from flesh, pulverized bones in the trash. The taste of you makes you a part of me. Dissected, decapitated. Let me dominate. Skeletons in jars, deprived from love. You will let me take control through your unconscious. I shall drill you a hole and absorb your freshness. Chorus: My whole life, no guidance. for I have screamed in silence. Through your blood, I’m breathing. Endless love receiving. In search for the lost boys, the wondering men are my toys. No clear mind whatsoever. I crave the taste of forever. Submissive soul, my object op pleasure. On my altar, your skull is my treasure. Cutting flesh, blood seeping, foul smell. For what I did, I will go to Hell. Chorus x 2

From Hell 04:40
Overcrowded, insanitary. East end London 1888. No woman of pleasure is safe from me. Throats cut from left to right. Mutilations in the night. For your sins, you’ll have to pay. Don’t you look away. Chorus: I go by many names: Whitechapel murderer, leather apron, Jack the Ripper. A question mark I leave in history. No one will know my identity. Disfigured faces is all I see. Killing quiet the monster in me. Disemboweled, bludgeoned, stabbed. I set you free, viciously. Chorus Jack the Ripper, from Hell. Come to me for money. Jack the Ripper, from Hell. Pleasure me, set me free. Chorus x 2 Their hearts belong to me.

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming. See the writing on the wall, stately raven see us all. Crawl back into the night. His eyes shall blind my sight. Hear the tapping on the door, only this and nothing more. For loneliness I crave, this room shall be my grave. Through the door, nevermore. I implore, nevermore. My soul shudders from his gaze. I’m trapped inside this maze. This demon ghost I see. Eyes of evil let me be. The days have turned to years. Revealing all my fears. Don’t even know my name. I darkness I’ll remain. Chorus: Raven, house of horror. Raven, room of terror. Raven, bird or devil? Raven, fallen Angel. Raven, cease this nightmare. Raven, hear my prayer. Raven, open the door. Raven, nevermore. Chorus
9.
June 9, 1912. The unsolved mystery. Some demon spared no lives of the poor Moore Family. Hiding in the night, smoking patiently. Waiting for the kill, sharpened axe at hand. Everyone’s asleep, the master bedroom first. Mom and dad are gone, their shoes are filled with blood. Chorus: Hear the ghost of the old house. Children’s voices scream. They’ll never rest in peace at the axe murder house. The children will die next, as the axe shall break their skull. Chorus I am the face of evil. The devil lives in me. For I will kill them all. Their souls will never be free. Chorus x2
10.
We are the lost ghosts, in our pale, shifting forms. Old women left here to die, we lure the sad and lost. Feel our solitude, feel the stillness. Wandering between the trees, the perfect place to die. Forest, deadly. Suicide beauty. Forest, eerie. Broken darkness. Chorus: Dense, ocean of trees. Labyrinth. Cursed, ocean of trees. Breathless wind. Haunting beauty guiding me, I will find my hanging tree. Mysterious depths. Place where people go to end it all. Contemplating life and death, ready for the final breath. Hanging in the see of trees. A colorful string leads to me. Suicide notes tacked to trees. Dark veil of night. Chorus x 3

about

Horrorwish Belgium

In 2019, HORRORWISH was created by musician/producer GIO SMET. Gio wanted to combine his passion for horror tales with intriguing metal music.
The guitars are dark, fat and "fleshy". Together with a monstrous bass guitar, it results in a massive and horrifying sound. The raw and uncut vocals fits the macabre tunes perfectly.
On April 3th, 2020, the debut album 'NO PLACE TO HIDE’ was released.
