Phantasm 05:22
Pour your salt around the house The Devil’s come to play In your room under your bed I’m always awake I have come to pay my dues And you are the receiver Pull yourself under the sheets Tonight, I’m your grim reaper The afterlife is all that’s left, or so it seems I’m here to stay and play a game, don’t call a priest The dark secrets inside these walls exposed to you “Ghosts aren’t real” you tell yourself, but you’re no fool What am I? Whisper things into your ear While you try to sleep Only God can save you now Or you’ll end up like me Left to walk the wonderous earth Now roaming these halls No Ouija board is needed To hear my spirit’s call The afterlife is all that’s left, or so it seems I’m here to stay and play a game, don’t call a priest The dark secrets inside these walls exposed to you “Ghosts aren’t real” you tell yourself, but you’re no fool What am I? (Joey Solo) (Ira Solo) The afterlife is all that’s left, or so it seems I’m here to stay and play a game, don’t call a priest The dark secrets inside these walls exposed to you “Ghosts aren’t real” you tell yourself, but you’re no fool What am I? Phantasm! In this manor’s walls Phantasm! Hear the spirit’s call What am I?

Crystal Ball 04:15
The forest of old holds a secret, I’m told And if you travel far enough, you’ll find an old glade enclosed Circle of protection around the old gypsy wagon To lure you in with magic beyond all comprehension The power to see the future And the magic to see the past Look in the crystal ball and you may see the proper path Sealed in a magic stone Kept in a forest old The journey now begins as I finally go I seek the secrets I seek them all The magic that hides In your crystal ball The present, the past Forthcoming my future The pleasure, the pain Truth and the rumors I see my face Reflecting in the ball I seek my fate The future tells me all I see my face Now it’s too late I seek my fate Oh, crystal ball! (Joey Solo) The forest is cold, but my desire is hot To ask the gypsy woman all the questions I’ve got With the full moon arising on the woodland horizon I now know in my heart that I am finally close The twisted path turns as I finally reach the glade And there the gypsy woman is waiting for me Invited inside, I take a seat at her table What once was fantasy, is now no longer a fable I seek the secrets I seek them all The magic that hides In your crystal ball The present, the past Forthcoming my future The pleasure, the pain Truth and the rumors I see my face Reflecting in the ball I seek my fate The future tells me all I see my face Now it’s too late I seek my fate Oh, crystal ball! (Joey Solo) (Joey Solo)

The Message 04:17
800 years after the Wizard’s death The circle meets in his underground palace Black magic rites send a note to the past Around the alter where the coven is gathered Message written in the blood Sent to the old magic one Fire, death, the Wizard’s blessing, a final test Now we are ready The ritual has begun 800 years ago Our message travels time Breeding new sorts of magic To 1129 If the Wizard sees our message He can return from the grave Black magic, wicked magician Show us your ancient ways (Ira Solo) Something wicked, this way comes Evil doth, what evil does Out from the cauldron, he arises Grandmaster Wizard, we seek your guidance

(Joey Solo) Homicidal maniac who stalks the streets at night Looking for more victims he can hack up with his knife Preying on young woman who are innocent and weak Committing acts of homicide while everybody sleeps Late at night, he leaves his mark A stranger lurking in the dark Walking down the foggy streets In the black, The Ripper, you will meet His name is Jack the Ripper There’s nothing you can do His call is from the Devil He’s coming after you Hiding in the alleyways, blood dripping from his knife Planning his attack for when the time is right Can’t find himself a woman, so he captures them instead Mutilates their bodies until he’s got a head Late at night, he leaves his mark A stranger lurking in the dark Walking down the foggy streets In the black, The Ripper, you will meet His name is Jack the Ripper There’s nothing you can do His call is from the Devil He’s coming after you One look into his house and the bodies pile up His name is Jack the Ripper, cause’ he doesn’t give a fuck Once his life is over, his soul will be sent down But while he’s still alive, the Ripper won’t be found Late at night, he leaves his mark A stranger lurking in the dark Walking down the foggy streets In the black, The Ripper, you will meet His name is Jack the Ripper There’s nothing you can do His call is from the Devil He’s coming after you (Joey Solo)

Holy Relics 03:52
The moon fails to rise in the dark of the night Where the old dragon sleeps, on the treasure he lies For hundreds of years, he’s still not awake The treasure is all now mine to take Ancient swords and magic wands The dragon’s gold is all I want Bow down, I’ve found All of the holy relics I finally feel alive The serpent’s heartbeat pounds in my ear Anxiety pours in, his awakening I fear But my lust for the relics surpasses all wisdom So close to the jewels, I can already feel them Ancient swords and magic wands The dragon’s gold is all I want Bow down, I’ve found All of the holy relics I finally feel alive (Joey Solo) My fingers touch the glistening gold The lust for the relics now burns in my soul But the dragon’s eye opens, he sees what I’ve done Nowhere to hide, no time to run Ancient swords and magic wands I’ve found it all, but at what cost? Bow down, I’ve found All of the holy relics And now it’s time to die!

I’m the huntsman, you’re the prey I’ve come to take your life away Hunting season begins today You can’t run and you can’t hide Your head’s directly in my sights It’s time to kiss your life goodbye Death brings to me a sweet relief Hungry for meat Your head will be my new trophy I need to feed Beginning of your death is like beginning a new life Your body stays secure in your frozen sarcophagi Waiting for the day when I feed you to my family Cut you up, break your bones Make you into jerky I’ve tracked you down, scouted you out Been careful not to make a sound And now it all comes down to this My trigger finger feels an itch I pull the plug I flip your switch Smile, you son of a bitch Beginning of your death is like beginning a new life Your body stays secure in your frozen sarcophagi Waiting for the day when I feed you to my family Cut you up, break your bones Make you into jerky (Ira Solo)

Lowlife 03:56
Lowlife, scumbag Wasted time thrown in the trash Your ego are the crutches that keep you on both your feet Swine pig, disease Crushing all your hopes and dreams If you don’t start to make a change, your tongue will dig your grave Look in the mirror Tell me what you see Lowlife with no potential Looking back at me You play it cool, but you ain’t tough Life’s a game and you can’t bluff I don’t wanna see your face Till you finish puberty L, for liar O, obnoxious W, you could be wiser L, again I, for self F, E, You’re a lowlife, nothing else Fool me once Fool me twice Fool me thrice and that’s a strike If you don’t start to change your ways I’ll dig your grave Look in the mirror Tell me what you see Lowlife with no potential Looking back at me You play it cool, but you ain’t tough Life’s a game and you can’t bluff I don’t wanna see your face Till you’ve got your G.E.D. L, for liar O, obnoxious W, you could be wiser L, again I, for self F, E, You’re a lowlife, nothing else (Joey Solo) (Ira Solo)

Hiding in the cave of wonders, buried deep A long-forgotten spirit forever lies asleep His tendrils twist, contorting Forever caught in time The lamp a sacred prison End of the line Far into the East A demon unreleased Keeper of the sand Will take you if he can The sorcerers can’t resist The power he promised They travel far and wide To find where it hides The lamp it hides a soul inside Caught between the sands of time Bring me back the lamp Djinn! Keeper of sands Blood! Staining my lands Welcome back to the material plane We offer you a sacrifice Djinn’s Curse! The priestess warns the sorcerers Not to touch the lamp But the power-hungry fools Are disobedient They traverse the ancient dunes For pre-historic tombs Take from them the lamps And leave the rest in ruins The lamp it hides a soul inside Caught between the sands of time Bring me back the lamp Djinn! Keeper of sands Blood! Staining my lands Welcome back to the material plane We offer you a sacrifice Djinn’s Curse! (Guest solo: Ira Black Sr ) (Joey Solo) (Joey Solo)

about

The debut full length album from SEIZURE. This was not only the first time the band would release an album, but also the first time the they would officially refer to themselves as "Fantasy Thrash Metal". The album is significantly more polished than their previous release, and features more of a focus on fantasy themes in the lyrics. This album still however remains true to the bands original raw Thrash roots.

The band has stated that the song "Phantasm" is haunted. During one rehearsal of the song before the album was released, the band had a paranormal experience. Frontman Joey Love has stated that he refuses to practice this song in private due to this.
