about

The Dark Horde is a collective of internationally recognised musicians, vocalists and actors from Melbourne, Australia. Together they have created The Calling, a concept album written and directed by Andrew "Brewin" Drage.

The Calling is a musical narrative experience featuring a supernatural horror story set to an "eighties heavy metal" soundtrack. It is the prequel to Brewin's award-winning horror novel The Dark Horde, set in south-eastern Australia in 1989.

Mask is the second track from The Calling album and the debut single.

lyrics

TO KNOW THE FUTURE
IS TO KNOW THE HORROR TO COME
TO KNOW WHAT STALKS US
CALLING FROM THE DARKNESS INSIDE

I’VE SEEN THE NAKED TRUTH
BEEN BURNED BY THE FLAME
SEALED IS OUR FATE
ONLY HELL AWAITS

TAKE MY HAND, RENDER ME BLIND
HIDE FROM ME THE FEAR THAT GRIPS MY MIND
I WANT TO LIVE, I WANT TO BE
NO LONGER WANT TO KNOW NOR SEE

NOW MY WORLD'S A DARK VOID WHERE NO HOPE EXISTS
AND DESPITE MY EFFORTS, ONLY THE DARK PERSISTS
THE DARK HORDE WILL SOON WIN, THAT I CLEARLY SEE
THEN THESE WORDS SHALL BE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF ME

TAKE MY HAND, RENDER ME BLIND
HIDE FROM ME THE FEAR THAT GRIPS MY MIND
I WANT TO LIVE, I WANT TO BE
NO LONGER WANT TO KNOW NOR SEE

It is your choice to hear these words but be warned,
once you understand what they mean, you will never
be able to hide in the warm comfort of ignorance again.

Unless you're prepared for this, it's best you stop now.

I WISH TO WIPE FROM MY MIND ALL THAT I KNOW
AND BE KEPT FOREVER IN TRUTH'S SHADOWS
BUT I KNOW OUR SOULS ARE ALREADY WON
SO LET THESE WORDS BE A WARNING OF WHAT'S TO COME
