I just love the smell of woodsmoke in the evening Especially on a dark summer night Some folks can act rather ghoulish this time of year And I can tell you're most definitely one of them

(VERSE 1) I been drawn to the night like a moth to the flame Since the age of thirteen I been deep in the game When it came to steel town nocturnal excursions Cruising down Brownsville one thing is certain I’ll be out till dawn cause I’m looking to meet Up with my fellow night ghouls out roaming the streets From the dark parking lots where it’s easy to chill Crack a bottle, spark a joint or whatever can fill Your stomach like some drive thru or a neighborhood bars Wing special you can take to go back to your cars Then dip to an isolated spot in the park Where the cops don’t patrol and won’t come that far Bumping rap, rock and metal while talking some shit Bout anyone who gotta problem with your clique And if you’re feeling up to it you can bring a flashlight And sneak into the cemetery to catch sight of a ghost (HOOK) Up all night is how I usually stay Cause I tend to sleep through most of the day (Hey) I'm still livin' that summer night ghoul life Posted under a flickering porch light And I'd rather just go To a haunted place with a creepy green glow (So) I'll be livin' that summer night ghoul life While I'm bathing in gray white moonlight (VERSE 2) Ever seen a ghost or something unexplained Manifest before your eyes and tried to obtain Photographic evidence or a video clip Somebody can validate and say it’s legit Break in a vacant building that’s possibly haunted Just to capture proof most would disregard if They ain’t seen it for themselves cause they’re narrow minded But you do it for the thrill and the excitement Driving down backroads hanging out windows Or get to hotbox with some primo indo Chilling in a backyard next to a fire pit Get some charcoal so you can grill out a bit And watch a horror flick on an outdoor screen Or hook up with a freak who can lick you clean Till the sun comes up then close the curtains Pass out in your bed till the dark returns and it will

(VERSE 1) It all started with a letter with no return address Written by a girl I couldn’t recall having met Saying I was her true love I was flattered at first Till more followed and became progressively worse She was obviously disturbed and I was living alone Never took it serious till the night I came home And poured a drink, took a sip then somehow blacked out And woke up buck naked on the floor next to the couch I was covered in cuts and bruises and felt so sore Specially below my waist which I looked down toward And saw my dick it was sick looking purple and black And had a rubber band tight round the base of my shaft Feeling pain in my hand it was pinned by a knife With a note underneath I pulled it out and cried Called 911 / The operator had said (Help is on the way) But I was frozen by the note that read... (HOOK) I will haunt you while you dream I can't wait to make you scream And I won't stop until I see Your blood all over me I'll duck down behind a tree Till they pass then cross the street With your blood all over me That's all I'll ever need (VERSE 2) Spent a week in the hospital and was interviewed By two detectives who said that it was rare but true That a girl could rape a man they’d conduct a thorough Investigation assuring me they’d comb every borough Of the city in the months that followed they found nothin’ No leads, suspects or forensics I wasn’t Gonna stick around so I picked up and relocated To another state / Changed my name but I was fated To receive another letter / This time at my job I was working after hours feeling completely robbed Of my sense of security / Headed for the garage But once again blacked out and woke up with gauze Around my forehead back in a hospital room With another pair of cops having sustained wounds So close to being fatal that I started to laugh And cried at the same time knowing she’d be back Cause she said... (VERSE 3) Over the coming years I’d endure four more attacks The last one was so bad I couldn’t walk and that’s When they brought me to the station / Wheeled me in a room Set a laptop in front of me / Which I assumed Was for me to type my account instead they hit play On a video that haunts me to this day It was footage taken from my apartment building’s roof I was punching / Cutting myself / Yelling at someone whom I could see but wasn’t there as I stepped to the ledge And jumped 20 feet onto pavement then they said This psycho bitch I’m afraid of really doesn’t exist She’s a split personality that’s evil as shit Which explains the lack of evidence / Why I can’t say Used to think that I was sane but now I’m on my way To the mental asylum cause they said I’m disturbed And my reflection in the passenger window becomes hers And sings...

(VERSE 1) I'm at the mercy of phantoms Who never cease to remind me that they're near Even while I'm on the verse of sleep They make me feel like we're underwater By the way they float and hover And I'm drownin' but determined to breathe And I know if they could take possession of my flesh They would in a heart beat And I'd serve as their puppet But they lack the capability and lash out Throwing objects clear across the room After passing judgement I'm at the mercy of phantoms Who seem to drift from room to room And up and down halls during ungodly hours They rarely speak but often use Their body language cause it's universal And more effective in chance encounters Like a mental patient with a shovel Burying a body in a shallow grave Behind a decrepit chapel Who'd escaped the night before Now he's walking down the corridor Hummin' this song as he's lead to the scaffold (HOOK) (4X) I'm at the mercy of phantoms When I'm alone in the dark (VERSE 2) I'm at the mercy of phantoms Who I've been claimin' to have seen to the hospital staff But they all disregard'em As the ravings of a madman Whose diary's filled with disturbingly vivid accounts They find alarmin' Especially the one about the child Sittin' by her brother's corpse Smilin' and gigglin' with his blood in her mouth She walks the grounds outside And likes to hide behind trees Then comes to my window and screams so fuckin' loud I'm at the mercy of phantoms Who smother me like vines are known to cover And swallow abandoned manor houses Sittin' perfectly still and quiet In a rocking chair while I aimlessly stare And imagine taverns shrouded In fog with gas lanterns A figure's standin' in the shadows With a tarot card in his hand... a strange version The likes of which I've never seen Up to that point in my life And a reminder that death is always certain

(HOOK) (2X) I fell in love with a gun in a fifth of a second You saw a tool but I seen it from a different perspective Had a broken heart then was introduced to this weapon It's beautiful how an instrument of death can mend it (VERSE 1) I was familiar with the rumors she'd been passed around Used and abused / Left out on the street and been found By police / Spendin' time in several evidence rooms Stolen and sold out from one after another and soon Found herself in my presence / She captured my gaze The fact I didn't care where she'd been before amazed Even myself / All I knew is that if I kept her clean And fully loaded she'd be down for whatever I'd need To handle if should ever the opportunity rose Which was new to her cause she was used to being disposed Of once servin' her purpose and discarded for somethin' better But I would tell her that we'd ride together forever And I will never ever take for granted the things She did before and would continue so I gave her a ring We spent our honeymoon somewhere secluded / Happily wed With her barrel pressed up against the back of somebody's head

(VERSE 1) You can tell'em the Scattenjager is back With a vengeance on this hilltop manor night of the murder rap Pupils contract rapidly when I come through And they recoil in horror cause I’m the one who Been on the warpath since uttering Hell’s First Whisper Now I’ve got my second wind and a burst Of adrenaline / I’m a permanent fixture In this wicked underground rap game the perfect mixture Of horror and hip hop devotion even in death I will find my way into their heads till they obsess Over every bar I’ve ever written and spit Yes I can be lethal as shit and just as evil and quick To deny the accusations so I can rage against The mainstreams machinations keeping the track drenched In their blood and from the gutter / Always yours in murder Labrynthine / My book of rhymes the ultimate page turner (HOOK) (2x) Invitation to a murderer / Come and get some (3x) If you want what I got then take it (take it) in blood (VERSE 2) I’m an X-File always into something wicked And my style they love to hate cause I can kick it Like it’s 96 / Silhouetted in the mist Some places in this world are too evil to exist My mind is such a place as Calcutta If allowed to run amok like purge they’ll know what a Hell of a way I can do it / Spoken like a true rap head With a lil bit of rock and metal / That said Lyrically I was bred to kill / Fuck fame I’ve been crazed ever since Bad Mind put me on game And my brother Jay Reno gave me the go To let'em have it and show no remorse I can flow Like a dark river / Still waters run deep / A person Difficult to unravel / Quiet but well versed in The art of dying / Oh pitiful shadow perhaps Now is the time... to inscribe your epitaphs

(VERSE 1) They say 3 people can keep a secret if 2 are dead Some gamble on faith while others prefer to hedge their bets Cause should they dredge the lake bed or locate A shallow grave with human remains and see the state Of decomposition / Or worse able to trace Them to the place of execution and soon estimate A time of death / Comparing dates Gathering suspects to interrogate So ask yourself would you feel safe In knowing the others involved could possibly break And cut a deal to take the stand and then make the claim You were the shooter while they were unwilling participants The thought may fill you with rage and provide incentive To eliminate who’d be your only connection Meet up somewhere isolated to discuss the next steps in Covering their tracks... Wait till their backs are turned and shoot'em in their heads This time cut'em up and don’t just move'em (HOOK) Should you rendezvous with evil... Keep a weapon close by Always pack more than one And carry a watchful eye Should you rendezvous with evil... Notice when there's a pattern Of suspicious behavior In the end it'll matter Should you rendezvous with evil... Maintain your composure Never let down your guard But act like you ain't sober Should you rendezvous with evil...

(VERSE 1) I’ve lost at least a dozen childhood friends To overdoses and suicide feeling like it just never ends I could’ve been more open with my emotions But I chose to keep'em inside & locked away for years hopin' That they would fade instead they all manifested Through my own addictions, rage, frustrations and depression So any semblance of normality’s non existent And some days my face displays a haunting grimace They wanna witness my downfall and laugh at my failures Under a thickening air of apprehension tailored To my personal demons Always exceeding the reasonable depth of my soul Yes I believe in life after death Passing inexorably beyond the veil Reverberating thru the dark like a howling gale Faces so pale and white like cocaine powder Makes you numb to the world but not to a chilling encounter (HOOK) I know the old haunts for my ghosts I always see them when I'm close Sometimes their presence I crave most I know the old haunts for my ghosts I know the old haunts for my ghosts They never see me when I'm close Between a black, red and white rose I know the old haunts for my ghosts (VERSE 2) Like a winding and unpredictable corridor Time flows and only slows if there’s a more Unsettling premonition appearing out of thin air Yes I’m aware of the altar out in the clearing Ancient yet remarkably well preserved In the midst of tempestuous weather creating hell on earth Unresponsive but clinging to life Having walked the flatline twice And third times the charm in sight As fate would have it I’m still breathing but guilt ridden That I’m here and they’re not and why I’m plagued with visions They dismiss'em and chalk'em up to fatigue And my paranoid delusions resulting in a degree Of speculation / Adding fuel to the mystery Of my state of mind that’s been muddied by inaccuracies And omissions / Wishin' that I could ask For a last cigarette from the girl in the horned goat mask

(VERSE 1) I’m in sanity’s gallery lacerating portraits Cause I’m plagued with visions exacerbating morbid Thoughts of murder & bloodshed / Imma poison the water And make'em taste the gun lead / Some dread The idea of crossing paths with me Imma thief in the night Like the red death can be Inconspicuous as hell as well able to reign Though I’m still green and came late in the game So I stay humble and continue to Struggle With my demons & addictions cuz they love to make trouble If my gaze is lustful I’m on the brink of giving in To wicked temptation and their hearts will sicken I treat the mic like an infernal device so you will learn My venomous rhymes are worse that the bite and burned The bridge to heavens gate / Sleeping awake It’s like your in the matrix and there’s no escape (HOOK) There's no point in trying to question How my darkness fuels this obsession Used to think dying was worth stressin' Now I strive for ghoulish perfection Wasting time is trying to question How my darkness fuels this obsession Used to think my pain couldn't lessen Now I strive for ghoulish perfection (VERSE 2) When it comes to writing you're as slow as molasses Imma cheetah with these beats but I never come fast In these women and freaks fucking up my linen and sheets Grin when I feast on your flesh then stretch in relief When I’m complete and there’s no meat left on their bones Could melt'em in acid with my gravelly tone Like some classic RLP Imma Dead Flowerz mark Yes I do believe in god / Call him Rakim Allah / Start From scratch and take it back to the days of old Imma late 90s kid at heart outta control An H C dot com vet with no info For these poser horror rappers LMAO They better pray they make it home to their spouses and kids Cause I’m the wrong one to fuck with and psycho as is I hold a grudge like a priest holds a rosary close When he sees a summer night ghoul like me approach

(VERSE 1) Pray for oxygen / I’m known to asphyxiate Like a plastic bag over your face / Demonstrate My lack of remorse smilin' back at your corpse It’s murder for murder’s sake at the expense of yours Moving towards the cemetery sensing An ethereal chill from the unquiet dead suppressing Another shiver undoubtedly triggered By a feeling of an impending horror and a rigor You’ve been trying to withstand twisting & writing like a cobra In the ensuing ominous silence Imma soldier Bearing the hallmarks of a serial killer With several cliches fueling their hushed tones & whispers My ferocity’s like a battering wind Capable of shattering glass while I cast a grim shadow Seen from their armchairs facing a window I just love to make them wanna grip a pillow (HOOK) (2X) I'm the resurrectionist (2x) If the world's a stage mine's a graveyard And I'm snatchin' the mic like it's a body (VERSE 2) Something straight outta metaphysical thriller The likes of which they’ve never seen / A gothic chiller I’m an oblong box ripper still able To function under duress while remaining faithful To my wicked devotion and the desire To stayed focused / Keep'em frozen in terror / I’ve acquired More sinister dimensions as every year Progresses grimly noting the stench in the atmosphere Without a vestige of sun rays having endeavored To obtain what I value willing to do whatever Is necessary / Soon as their buried I’ll venture out into the night and under the moon glaring I’ve been staring at that gate through my rear view Never been a stranger to tempting fate and near to The heart of the matter and the menacing willows It’s an undertaking that I love and it shows

(VERSE 1) She's every bit of ungodly and fearsome yet seductive Instilling a morbid fascination somewhat repulsive Capable of inspiring an unmitigated Terror in the heart of the unsuspecting and rarely jaded Fiendishly clever in the way she approaches And catches you off guard when you were too distracted to notice Even the horrified observe her in amazement Bewildered by her flawless figure and flesh untainted From the surrounding wilderness where she's been sighted Also appearing on lawns and yards dimly lighted Always quiet and having never spoken a word At least nothing that anyone claimed to have heard Unbeknownst to myself that I would be the first And at the age of 11 while playin' in the dirt I'd hear my voice in a soft non-threatening tone Only to look up and feel my body chilled to the bone (HOOK) I think I saw the Devil's daughter As a stark naked girl in a horned goat mask Standing ankle deep in muddy creek water I've spent my life tryin' to forget her I think I saw the Devil's daughter As a stark naked girl in a horned goat mask In the background of the photograph that caught her Will I see her again? I pray to God I never (VERSE 2) I felt unable to blink and couldn't move a muscle She ran her fingers through my hair while inside I struggled To fully comprehend what was happening at the moment I stood there frozen until the silence was broken By my mother's voice callin' me for dinner I looked away then looked back but she was gone... And never spoke of it to this day I'd be 17 when I'd see her again I was starin' at the stars when she approached and would begin To straddle me / Diggin' her nails into my shoulders I just laid there frozen with my mouth open That was the night I lost my virginity She took it from me rather grotesque and mercilessly I pray to God that I never gave her a child Cause I know it'd grow up to be equally just as vile... I pray to God that I never gave her a child Cause I know it'd grow up to be equally just as vile...

(VERSE 1) From grasslands to coastal fringes And the seclusion afforded by the surrounding woodlands Broken hinges / On kicked in doors in relative isolation Does have an upside / Nurturing tones and fueling inspiration Drawn from a place of self reflection and soothing noises And accompanied by the sound of whispering voices Reciting prayers to ward off evil spirits and demons From glowing candlelight windows a hooded figure’s leaning Over the balcony seeming enamored by your appearance As as if your face and hair bears a striking resemblance You breathe the luminous mist like a sigh of relief With your every exhale reverberating into the trees The dry leaves crackling beneath your feet are calming And the beam from your flashlight shows where you’re walking And the owls are just as elusive As they are mysterious yet you can feel their eyes They know your ghoulish (HOOK) You hear the wind in the trees rustle the leaves and that'll Mesh with the sound of your footsteps crunching on gravel And the voices in your head that you struggle to battle Start to unravel / Now their as quiet as your shadow You hear the wind in the trees rustle the leaves and that'll Mesh with the sound of your footsteps crunching on gravel And your the silhouetted figure on the path less traveled Time is fragile / Nothing's as quiet as your shadow (VERSE 2) It’s not uncommon to stumble upon an eerily silent building After midnight with a window for climbing Through observing the gloomy interior Preying on your imagination and feeling weird at first Search every corner and level then exit with incredible Agility and a memory that's unforgettable Even the smallest amount of mysticism Is invaluable / God knows it’s influenced my lyricism That’s why I keep the room dimly lit while I’m writing Cause the artist inside’s dying to let out what he’s trying To share with the world weaving colorful tales Despite their initial skepticism it never fails To envelope their frames of mind overtime Dwelling less and less on their penchant to minimize Watching their headlights disappear into a haunting darkness Breaking the cycle... they always thought was harmless

(VERSE 1) Exiting the house noticing the gathering clouds Death is in the air yet it’s just a matter of how Return home not expecting to have everything found In disarray and the television static is loud You could say it’s an omen hell’s messenger sent If you read what he sent me you’d know the extent When I pick up on your scent it heightens my focus While you focus on how wide my mind explodes if My psychosis is triggered / My tone’s so graveled Imma tear this place apart and hurl you off the scaffold They’ll be baffled when your found dead face up in a fountain Keep following the paper trail / I am a mountain To a hillside estate / My stranglehold’s on the neck Of their woods and I’m dangling a medallion to check If they’re still under hypnosis in uncharted depths Of unfathomable horrors with their arms outstretched (HOOK) I'm a wicked man for all seasons / Right now I'm in summer night ghoul mode still holdin' it down For the autumn blooded / Like a thunderin' cloud And Imma stay around till I'm mortuary bound I'm a wicked man for all seasons / Right now I'm in summer night ghoul mode tatted up and proud To be autumn blooded / Which I stay year round And I ain't layin' down till I'm mortuary bound (VERSE 2) Tell the Devil I’m ready for Armageddon Karma is a bitch and a witch on a broom headed For the red moon lit township's dark house on the hill I’m an elevator filled with blood about to spill Kill shit for the thrill of it criminal minded boom bap Music for the ill-fated listener / A doom rap Masterfully executed due to the fact It’s a beautiful death crazed poet’s spiritual pact With the ghost of Edgar Allan having come to fruition Take a 55 gallon oil drum and envision Dismembered human remains in it / I’m so wicked My future victims ain’t gotta lie to kick it... I was only one who showed up on the first day of first grade After my kindergarten class vanished / What’s worse they Still don’t have a clue as to how they went missin’ So I got info to trade if I’m cravin' Tim Hortons in prison

(VERSE 1) I said the killer in the dead skin mask I’ll fulfill my evil task With my blade I’ll make them bleed And add another notch to my sheath I said the phantom in the dim lit hall With my hands on either wall I’ll stretch out my arms and then Drift toward you and round the bend I said the demon in the candle's flame I’ll laugh if you speak my name No matter which way you flee You’ll find your way back to me I said the black eyed child on the lawn I’ll be standing here till dawn Casting my gaze toward your room Signaling an impending doom (HOOK) (2X) Howdy dowdy diddle dum day Howdy dowdy diddle dum day Howdy dowdy diddle dum day Hey la lee lee ly lee low (VERSE 2) I said the monster under your bed With sharp teeth and eyes deep red Happy to feed on your fear Even with every passing year I said the Devil down at the crossroads If you wish to trade your souls Sign your names and make me smile Knowing it all will be worthwhile I said the shaman sitting by the fire Know me by my dark attire Follow me up to the skies But not till you close your eyes I said the Summer Night Ghoul I swear I've no more tales left to share Dawn is my evening and now Cryptic slumber take me down
