Veilbreaker 03:35
What is it you seek? There are not but bones you'll find The stain begins to reek The soak here comes from many lives You've missed the massacre Your experience will be just the same Become the veilbreaker Welcome to a brand new kind of hell Desperate cries from the marsh they call your name Shrieking the atrocities for which you're not to blame You've ventured too far for you to turn back now There is nothing you'll find but the spirits' eternal vow An endless woe to the ones who trespass here You walk on blood spilled by those corrupted in fear The vengeance sought was not intended for you But you'll find no mercy in these woods your walking through
3.
Gleaming eyes open from all around Peering from the branches and the stones on the ground Chittering voices beckon out to you We can help You hear them yelp What shall you do? You back away Your body sways as the eyes move closer still Your nerves are shot Your heart, it drops and you feel a ghastly chill Come this way You hear one say and it steps onto the path You'd be a fool to follow for you'll face pukwudgie wrath Pukwudgie You better get off the path Pukwudgie You better get off the path A frightening mass of fur and spikes extends a wretched helping hand It promises to lead you out of this cursed place When you reach out you release a shout as your eyes they fill with dust and sand This blasted beast has tricked you, fool and threw some dirt into your face Now you're blind and you will find them play their little games Sorry you didn't pass on by Now isn't that a shame? You're poked with pikes and little knives and they pelt your hide with stones They stab your skin and kick your shins and try to break your bones You wipe the crud from your stupid eyes and run as fast as you can They chase you down, you foolish clown Was that your only plan? And when these freaks begin their feast and sink their teeth in your meat They scatter off when a blazing light radiates unearthly heat
4.
A fire that burns beats down on you as you walk the marsh It moves in impossible ways with a light that's impossibly harsh It dips through the canopy, setting all the trees ablaze You'll never escape the reflections of this endless glowing maze And just as suddenly as the fire in the sky appeared It shoots into the clouds again and that's just when you hear A sonic shriek, and the rest of all sound goes dead And that's just when you realize that the fire burns above your head So now you start to wonder if it even makes sense to run You know there's no escape and you tremble You are stunned You want to move but it forces you to stay The light begins to brighten turning night into the day Your feet begin to lift from the ground into the air You try to shout for help No one hears your despair The world goes white as the fire swallows you whole This burning sky has sucked you in No mercy for your soul And just like that, you awake again Back on the path Violated

What creature could make marks such as these? Hooves pock the earth and slime is smeared on the trees The smell of sulfur smogs the air and chokes your every breath Candles flicker through the mist and illuminate true death Parts of human bodies and those of lowly beasts Segmented in a warped display in tribute by dark priests What entity demands this memorial macabre? Voices chant horrific hymns from figures in black garb Strange display at the ritual site Warlocks of an arcane god perform this vile rite Standing in shock as you witness the great offense Putrid wisps fog the air like sacrilegious incense Hesitation betrays you as you feel the searing grip A phantom claw has seized you, and blood begins to drip down your chest This branded hand around your neck has marked you as a sacrifice You'll fulfill their bargain when the master comes to take your life Dizziness and pain incite your base instinct to flee You push past cackling sycophants whose faces shine with glee They wouldn't dare block your escape, for their work here has been done You know not what awaits ahead. Seek hope, but there will be none Voices echo behind you as you hurry down the path Not a chance to catch you breath for fear of their dark wrath The throbbing scar upon your throat burns of demonic fire Now listen to the crescendo of the ritualistic choir
7.
Blacker than the shadows, it appears from overhead Watching thee Coiled all around the darkened atmosphere It will feed It awaits with upmost patience for the perfect time to strike Slithering You seek for an escape You're surrounded by the serpent Shivering Reptilian scent overwhelms all your senses Dried leaves crunch below its immense writhing form The hiss paralyzes you with a stunning deep vibration Try to move Try to flee Try to scream You are prey Shimmering scales engulf you in as it wraps around your thighs Your clawing nails make not a mark on its blackened armored hide It crushes the wind from your lungs and you gasp a final breath Its swallows you completely and you slide towards certain death You wriggle for your life in this coffin made of flesh You fester in it's guts, filled with other half-dead pests Your hands move to your belt, to release your pocket knife A desperate slice from within this beast has saved your cursed life
8.
The ground is now starting to freeze The trees have shed all of their leaves You've lost all sight of the sun A return of the restless dead has begun Their bones break through at your feet They rise from the muck and the sleet Soldiers and slaughtered alike They'll feast on you, body and soul on this night Bayonets and tomahawks seek your flesh as you take flight Don't stop if you ever plan to survive this Great Swamp Blight Rotting horrors of a brutal battle still fight this endless war Now you find yourself on the front-lines in this clash of steel and gore Of steel and gore You witness a copse up ahead Surprising you've not become dead You run for the safety of light Too bad You have entered the heart of the blight The veil shifts the world all around The end, you have finally found You'll break the barrier for me We will become one as I inhabit thee

about

Deep in the woods of southern Massachusetts lies the Hockomock swamp, a hot-spot for paranormal phenomena. This is where our tale takes place. You, dear listener have crossed into the boundary where reality mingles with forces from another… more wretched realm.

This region has been called by many names. The native Wampanoag people dubbed this place “Hockomock” which translates to “the place where spirits dwell.” European colonizers who left their mark here referred to it as “Devil’s Swamp.” In more modern times, it has come to be known as “The Bridgewater Triangle” due to the geographical ‘sphere’ of influence. However, the locals who warn anyone from venturing into this treacherous marsh whisper a more sinister title… The Black Triangle.

The entity that drew you here watches your journey from beyond the veil. The further you wander down the path, the more bizarre the woods become. Will you make it through the Black Triangle in one piece, or will you succumb to these horrors that seep into your world?
