oracles 12: Astoria

LYRICS
(by Matty Jeronimo)

Riding high on the back of a shadow
You knew the names of the trees on the trail
And when I fell
The earth received me

Oh oh oh

On that old path in the dead of winter
It was a race against time and ourselves
Sound of a gunshot the reins burn our hands
Kicking and rearing

We saw our ghosts...

See the clearing where I fell
When I broke my legs you carried me home
The grass is tall
the gate is gone

You know the way
Oh oh oh...

The Astoria bass

LYRICS
(by Andrew Lee)

You say I’ve got somethin’ that you want
so why don’t you tell me what you need
from me
it’s on the tip of your finger
haunt me
an insatiable banshee
walking the line
between sailor and siren
shifting eyes on the portrait of the baroness

You say I’ve got somethin’ that you want
so why don’t you tell me what you need
from me
shattered crystalline chandelier
haunt me
through dimensional tapestries
walking the line
am I awake or dreaming
shifting eyes on the portrait of the baroness

Shivers passing through me
voices coarse, hair-raising
Footsteps
Staircase is creaking
spent one night in a haunted house

You say I’ve got somethin’ that you want
so why don’t you tell me what you need
from me
just let your beauty linger
haunt me
a phantom’s fantasy
walking the line
between corporeality
shifting eyes on the portrait of the baroness

Just let me be...
The ghost of bear creek...

The Ghost of Bear Creek is one of our strangest songs… and we love it. We have devised a somewhat unique way of presenting it – as a little interactive Flash adventure coded by yours truly (and not without a few frustrations I assure you :P)

Once the song starts in the game, you will have just over 4 minutes to explore a haunted house… if you dare. It’s kind of like a scavenger hunt. See if you can find all of these things:

6 portraits
A ghost in a mirror
A cat
A ghost by a creek
Eyes beneath a staircase
A piano that plays itself
A diary with strange entries
A spider
A skeleton
A headless suit of armor
A dungeon map

Have fun! If nothing loads below, you may need to download a flash player: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
