Acid Witch - 5508 Martin St lyrics

Artist: Acid Witch

album: Rot Among Us


The unassuming little grey house on Martin Street
Was not unlike all the others in the rows that you see
Insignificant seemed the room added on the back
Just a quiet place to get some much needed rest
A clandestine room like a billion more
Four angled walls entombed by wooden boards
Encased in time by a roof and floor
Could be a portal filled with many doors?
What if evil inhabits such a normal place?
A crossing void through time and space
Where dreamlike world's deliquesce
The witch rules here in omnipotence
5508 Martin Street
Is just like any home
We've all heard strange noises
At times when we're all alone
We've all had fleeting nightmares (Martin Street)
That linger through the day
The kind that make you wonder (Martin Street)
Was that real or just a dream?
Family man grinds away
Midnight line he slaves for pay
And needs to rest his weary head
That backroom was perfect
If it wasn't for the stench
But since there's no one there
In darkness slumber crept
Uneasy dreams bring night-gaunt horrors
A refracted realm of night-sweat terrors
Unseen force pulls your hand to the closet door
Inside, your daughter's severed head is lying on the floor
5508 Martin Street
Was left to burn and rot
The room in the back, decrepit now
Almost totally forgot
But at the witching hour (Martin Street)
The room whispers of your name
Beckoning you to find her (Martin Street)
And make her live again
Jolted from the dead of blackest sleep
To realize it was just a horrid dream
Then startled by a sickening scream
Trapped between realities
So drift once more in restless slumber
Witch's curse you now succumb to
And in the morning, pale-faced and listless
And you will not speak of what you've witnessed
For the unseen hand rolled you in your bed
You came face to face with the crone of death
The most hideous face you've ever seen
Open mouth, it tries to speak
Nothing but a foul reek
Nothing but a noxious stink
From the formless hag of Martin Street
Your body can, but your mind will never leave
Trapped for eternity, in a little room on Martin Street

The horrid hag hisses on Martin Street
The horrid hag on Martin Street
The horrid hag hisses on Martin Street
The horrid hag on Martin Street
