Genus Unknown

Penetrate the town that's slumbering
With lumanescent lights
And skylines that are wavering

Metallic whine
Amidst the pines
November's falling
And the fall is bringing something with it

A solid ray
Of undiluted light
Captures something in the glare of
Terrifying eyes

Try to flee, escape this stagnant scene
Look above, try to run now
But it's following

That night. That ride
Those wings. Those eyes
That sound I hear
It can't be human

Genus unknown - from an ancient time
Furl your wings and take to your flight
It's your night

The traffic streams across the silver bridge
Happy faces view the fog up on the eastern ridge
Something gives, the beams collapse
A darkened figure on the shore below
Completes its task

With no detection!

I've heard some say it did'nt happen
That there was'nt nothing rapping
On the storm doors or across the boards along the porch
But despite these claims I've seen it on the face
Of every living witness
There is no doubt that

He came

That night. That ride
Those wings. Those eyes
That sound I hear
It can't be human

Genus unknown - from an ancient time
Furl your wings and take to your flight
The ghosts of West Virginia
They are calling me home
Those sweet, clutching mountains hide
The genus unknown

Genus unknown
Genus unknown
Genus unknown
Genus unknown
So alone
