Nox Aeterna | The Trick

Release date: September 29, 2023
Lyrics by Arnold Boukes and Erik de Beijer






Wake up from the screaming of an outcast
As my assailant deforms her
Trapped here, no escaping, is this my fate?
This tomb without succour

Nowhere to go and nowhere to hide
17 asks me what I abide
I feel this illness consuming me
As it grows inside, as it grows inside
Humbled, impressed by my transcendency
He hands me a vial subserviently
A medicine he claims I should try
Before I die, before I die

Nowhere to go and nowhere to hide
The thought of me as weak I still brush aside
This medicine from a far away land
Can it hold a cure?, Can it hold a cure?
Under the microscope this cure seems real
Untainted blood yet again it reveals
17 will be my ultimate test
Defeat the infest, defeat the infest

Wake up from the screaming of an outcast
As my assailant deforms her
Trapped here, no escaping, is this my fate?
This tomb without succour

Subject 17 provided a possible cure
One final human test
Strap him to the table
Inject it into his veins

Inject me, treat me like the other outcasts
My assailant before me
Stronger, I′m escaping, this is our fate
This tomb without succour
