“IT FEEDS ON METAL”
(C. DeCracken)
[m.b. Evil Dead]
"Those forces which roam the forest and dark bowers of Man's domain that may lie dormant but are never truly dead."
"It's useless! Useless! In time it will come for him and then it will come for you!"
[low tribal tubes]
[moody synthesizers and night creatures samples]
[m.b. Prince of Darkness]
“Do you feel it?”
“Yes, s…s… something. What is it?”
“A secret that can no longer be kept.”
[all instruments start]
Towards the outer region
A vial fluid is growing
We approach the mystery
Drawn by its will
[m.b. Prince of Darkness]
“It was never here before. It started a month ago.”
“What started?”
“A change in the earth, and the sky. His power.”
[m.b. Hellraiser II] “And you wanted to know.”
It calls us
[m.b. Evil Dead] “Join us” (4x)
[m.b. Prince of Darkness]
“Can I talk to you for a minute? Nothing… anywhere ever… is supposed to be able to do what it is doing. A lifeform is growing out of prebiotic fluid. It’s not winding down into disorder, it’s self organizing. It’s becoming something. What? An animal, a disease? What?”
“The hardest thing to hear for any of us is something we don’t agree with.”
[synthesizer solo]
[m.b. Prince of Darkness] “This is crazy.”
It knows us
[m.b. Evil Dead] “Join us” (4x)
[m.b. Prince of Darkness]
“The hardest thing to hear for any of us is something we don’t agree with.”
“The guardian priests had the dreams for years.”
“What does it mean?”
“The premonition, the dream evolves, unfolds as if it’s pushing everything else out, making room for itself.”
“But he was our prisoner!”
“You two aren’t taking this seriously, are you?”
“This is crazy.”

[m.b. Dune] “The sleeper must awaken.”
[m.b. Hellraiser II]
“It’s you!”
“Nonsense, I--”
“It’s you! You haven’t always been this way, you [haven’t always been] human. Remember. Remember all your confusion. Think!”
[m.b. Hellraiser II] “So reluctant to admit it.”
[m.b. Hellraiser III] “Why resist? You enjoy this as much as I.”
[m.b. Total Recall] “Open your mind to me. Open your mind. Open your mind to me. Open your mind.”

[m.b. Hellraiser II] "Wait! I remember."
It is us
[m.b. Prince of Darkness] “It’s gaining strength. I can feel it all around us now.”
[guitars, drums, and percussion]
[whispered (rising)] It feeds on metal (4x)
[m.b. Hellraiser II]
“How can it send us back, we're already here.”
“We've always been here.”
“This is what you wanted to see, this is what you wanted to know. And you wanted to know. Now you know.”
Cacti Maximus, the great father
We are not fighting for the fate of the world
but for the name of metal
and the place of the battle title
The wicked bands have no honor here
The gates are not to contain us
but to keep the worst from escape
and bring the others home
[m.b. Hellraiser II]
“How can it send us back, we're already here, and so are you! “
“We've always been here.”
“Please, feel free, explore. We have eternity to know.”
“This is what you wanted to know. Now you know.”
[m.b. Prince of Darkness]
“But he was our prisoner! No prison can hold him now. It’s your disbelief that powers him, your stubborn faith in… in… common sense that allows his deception. He lives in the smallest parts of it, the atoms, smaller, invisible. He lives in all of it, in the sum of its parts.”
“Some kind of power, directed outward, a controlled force.”
“What’s it doing?”
“Reaching out, influencing, changing things. Extraordinary intervention, an intelligent cause other than man.”
“Suppose there is a universal mind, controlling everything, willing the behavior of every subatomic particle.”
“No prison can hold him now.”
