    Nightmares, Legends and Gore, the second full length album from Splintered Halo, is a musical tapestry woven from multiple genres to tell the tales of your favourite characters!

    Featuring a cast of historical and fictional women from legends, history, and popular culture, we lend them our instruments and voice so they can tell you their oft dark and twisted stories.

    You’ll make the acquaintance of the last Queen of Scotland, Mary Stewart, betrayed and beheaded by her English cousin Elizabeth.

    You will encounter Lilith, the first woman, she who came before Eve, a strong and powerful force who was punished by God for refusing to bow to the will of a man.

    You’ll be cursed by Kayako, forced to watch her husband kill her little boy and his cat before turning his jealous and murderous gaze on her. She and her rage lie in wait for you.

    Many more lie in wait for you…

Exiled from Eden Condemned to the desert to die They say…that I’m evil My crime was that I dared to defy Betrayed by all who said they loved me… Adam wanted me down on my knees But I dared to stand up, dared to be free Now the love I had has turned to hate And my God and creator has sealed my fate Threatened by me God heard Adam’s plea Now Eve will be the Mother of Humanity Can’t stop me A mother I will be What man calls demon I call family My children they are beautiful Angelic and divine! Lilith, Mother of Demons The First Woman She who came before Eve Temptress! Defier No man, or God will rule over me Woman was created as equal Independent from the body of man Now Adam dictates that he’ll dominate And he says it’s part of God’s plan Woman was created as equal Not a slave in the guise of a wife Now Adam will see what a woman can be And the Mother of Demons will rise! Incubi! Succubi! Come forth my children We will rise! Seed of Adam and Eve! Humanity! Pray to your God – there will be no reprieve I’ll steal your children I’ll claim the souls of your unborn Hell hath no fury Like a woman scorned Lilith, Mother of Demons The First Woman She who came before Eve Temptress! Defier No man, or God will rule over me Fuck your God! Fuck humanity! Fuck your God! Fuck the Patriachy!

I was bestowed the gift of beauty Ahh beauty draws the eyes of men The act reserved only for lovers Men have forced time and again Poseidon rises from the sea He set his sights on me And he brought me to my knees In that temple I would fall In that moment, lost it all Athena gazes upon me Defiled and filled with shame The Goddess said I am to blame She has no sympathy She put her curse on me Athena’s curse was worse than death Snakes writhe atop my head My gaze will turn a man to stone She sealed my fate, I’ll die alone Men have travelled far and wide When they learned of my name They bring promises of death Pursuing their fame Suffering in stone Screaming silently Statues all around me Cursed for all eternity Athena’s curse was worse than death Snakes writhe atop my head My gaze will turn a man to stone She sealed my fate, I’ll die alone Someday A man will come Who will take my life The curse will be undone

Delicate and fragile As a woman should be My strength and power Too foolish to see Woman and pharaoh An object of lust Ruthless and cunning I’ll do what I must I am Isis, Goddess made flesh I am the Queen of the Nile But to hold on to what is rightfully hers A woman must use her guile Brother, husband, sister take heed Death awaits those who oppose me Don’t force my hand, I will find a way Two steps ahead, I am here to stay Men are simple and lustful My tools to use A Goddess like me was not born to share And now I have Caesar enthralled and ensnared So don’t rest too easy on your stolen throne Beware little brother, I’m coming home I must stay prepared, with my enemies near Like snakes they slither and crawl Family or not, Egypt is mine alone Now Anthony will safeguard it all We go to war! With all of Rome! I lead my fleet to sea Fight for my home They won’t take me They won’t take me No! They won’t take me They won’t take me alive! Woman and pharaoh An object of lust Ruthless and cunning I’ll do what I must My true love now dead My country it falls My knee it won’t bend I still stand tall Brother, husband, sister take heed Death awaits those who oppose me Don’t force my hand, I will find a way Two steps ahead, I am here to stay

it’s an honour to die in battle With a sword held in your hand So tonight we drink For the morrow we sail To the place they call England SKOL! Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods For the warrior who fights well And should I fall I’ll return to the Hall Where I’ll live to fight again I am a woman and a mother and wife I am a shield maiden, warrior I stand with the men I hold the shield wall At the heart of the battle At the centre of the brawl Strike a killing blow Onto the next I go The Gods are watching And they will see In the warriors trance In a bloodlust dance The Gods are watching And they will see Guard, defend Delay my end The Gods are watching And they will see The enemies fall We must kill them all The Gods are watching And they will see I turn my face up to the skies, and pray the gods look down I hope they see my victory I hope I make them proud Our warriors will to leave this world A place where mortals bleed With nothing to fear but a glorious death We break the dawn with blood and screams The deafening sound of war and pain Swells to silence at the end of the day Glory awaits in the eyes of the Gods For the warrior who fights well And should I fall I’ll return to the Hall Where I’ll live to fight again My fate is sealed, in the hands of the Gods And only they can know And if they choose that I should lose To Valhalla I will go I look around the battlefield So many fallen now My people and my enemies Together on the ground Ohhhhh We go home to Valhalla

Allow me to tell you what happened next In the tale of Doctor Frankenstein’s Monster The loneliest of creatures And his creator, Henry A mortal man who dared to emulate God He made me Made me from dead Hate living Alone bad Friend good Make me Friend Or your Friend dead! I need a heart, sound and young A female victim of sudden death I need a girl freshly gone to the grave Barely taken her final breath And then I must play God again I swore I’d never create another life I must, for him, I have no choice Woman. Friend. Wife. We have the heart! We have the brain! And now we wait For nature has her part to play The air is heavy with electricity! It’s going to be a terrific storm tonight! Nature and science combine deliciously! Now it’s time that we send up the kit! She’s alive! Alive! The Doctor commits for the second time Against God and nature The very worst crime Creating life when that life was done Forcing a love, when there is none Friend? Wife?! She hate me Like the others Like the others She screams! She screams! Alone bad Dead is good You stay! You stay! We belong dead

When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage A curse is born The curse gathers in that place of death Those who encounter it will be consumed by it’s fury Those who survive will carry the curse with them…until it is reborn Body broken She is crawling In this house of death (death) Her child, drowning She can’t help him He struggles for breath Helpless, gasping Fury rising Kept alive by rage (rage) Enter and suffer and die You’ll join her Enter and suffer and die You’ll join us Become the pain And suffer the same Are you alright little boy? Wahat’s your name? Toshio… Miaow Become the pain and suffer the same Become the pain and suffer the same as us Husband swinging From the ceiling He’s too dead to pay (so you’ll pay) Her boy, lifeless Cat beside him They festered and decayed Trapped in this house She is waiting For you to arrive (Come in) She will follow You will join us How long can you survive? Abandon hope For once you enter No one gets out of here alive! Enter and suffer and die You’ll join her Enter and suffer and die You’ll join us Become the pain And suffer the same Become the pain and suffer the same Become the pain and suffer the same as us

You Died 04:11
The Age of Dark is upon us The fire begins to fade And endless night looms before us Unless a brave and powerful soul Can free themselves from their shackles And link themselves to the first flame… Will you become a Lord of Cinder? Or will you doom us all to darkness? Step into the light of fire Cursed One Nourish on those sovereignless souls Ashen One I am the Gravelord Nito I am the first of the Dead You wandered lost into my tomb Now the Catacombs will run red Unprepared Foolish and filled with pride Another lesson learned here You Died! Welcome home again Your soul is weary and tired You will rise, renewed by flame Rekindled by the bonfire Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight to live Live! Live! Live to save Save! Save! Their souls And bring them back with me Step into the light of fire Cursed One Nourish on those sovereignless souls Ashen One I am fire and chaos What remains of The Witch’s Flame Consuming and creating life The Bed of Chaos is my name Parry, strike, defend, attack Dodge, roll, heal, noooo! You Died Thou hast returned Ashen One Do not lose heart Your journey’s just begun The Lords of Cinder Must sit their thrones You are Chosen The flame must be restored Push forward Ashen One Each victory brings you closer to the flame I am the king of Lordran I am Gwyn Like me you’re dead and hollow This fight you cannot win Rest now unkindled one For the morrow brings another day When thou may’st rise up again And become the Chosen for whom we prayed

Dark magic twists my body When the sun lights the sky I will be the Swan Queen ‘til the day that I die In a lake formed of tears Trapped for so many years I await my true love And I pray he’ll break this curse Unseen A white swan by the daylight A Queen Only when bathed in the moonlight I wait No one will come to your rescue For fate Who could ever love you? I found my true love He was sent from up above To end all this pain To release me from these chains Unseen A white swan by the daylight A Queen Only when bathed in the moonlight I wait No one will come to your rescue For fate Who could ever love you? I won’t let him stay I’ll take him away I won’t let him stay I’ll take him away… Come to me my prince! I watch him dancing Through the castle window I see them kissing He’s choosing my dark shadow! Of course he’s choosing me Dark swallows light my Queen! I masquerade as you! So easy played this fool! He comes to me! He comes to me! The prince is mine! Saw through your lies! He’ll take his life and die with me! We’ll be free! We’ll be free!

France I’ve grown to love you And you loved me as your own You sheltered me from harm I was welcomed on your throne But everything changes and all things must end My husband is gone now, my King and my friend And so it’s time to go home So haul away the anchor and cast us off to see I’ll be the Queen they need and love, My Scotland waits for me A Catholic Queen in a Protestant land I hope to make them understand That we can live in peace, respectfully Religious freedom, harmony A united front, it has begun A strong, proud nation, standing as one My kinsmen rally, welcome me Their rightful heir, their Scottish Queen Mary, Mary, Mary Queen of Scots Mary, Mary, Mary Queen of Scots I made mistakes, married twice again I won’t be the last to choose the wrong men My political enemies They used my marriage against me Being Scotland’s Queen is all I’ve known I’ve been the Queen since I was six days old So I’ll fight my enemy Protestant Lords Though we share the same God, we will go to war Mary, Mary, Mary Queen of Scots Mary, Mary, Mary Queen of Scots My army battle valiantly Fighting to the death, dying gallantly But all is lost, I must give in They crown my son, my enemy win They’ve stripped my power away and now I have to go I will die here if I stay so I must leave my home To the Queen of England, cousin and friend I fled for my life, but she willed my end For the jealousy and power had gone to her head She locked me up then ordered me dead So I go to the chopping block, head held high They will see my strength, I will not cry For my end is my beginning, they will set me free I’m Mary Queen of Scots and a legend I’ll be
