All of my skeletal remains Within the witching hour Seem to call my name Down in the hollows Where you won't find any rain The spirit burns a flame That's dancing through the night With all my pain Within the witching hour What will the shape devour Within the witching hour The seasons change But all the ghosts remain the same Black magick autumn nights Just seem to feed the flame Within the witching hour What will the shape devour Within the witching hour Called upon through midnight's power Time has come for witching hour Called upon through midnight's power Time has come for witching hour Called upon through midnight's power Time has come for witching hour The Witching Hour

They gave a blind girl vision And all she did was weep Then one day He took the girl by the hand And whispered in her ear "come sin with me" Temptation took control The more that you could see Bound so tight within its grip That soon your dream became reality Now she belongs to no one She's lighting her own way And with the fire burning all through the night She can't be lead astray Temptation took control The more that you could see Bound so tight within its grip That soon your dream became reality Sell your soul and sing along with me Take my hand and you will be set free Sell your soul and sin along with me Take my hand and you will be set free

We're hiding all the bones where no one else can see But now the faces in the ground are staring back at me You tried through all the years to find a place to hide But now the walls are closing in And I can't get inside No, I can't get inside A prayer for rain A prayer to wash away the pain We'll pray for rain As it all just burns away And I'd give anything to brave it through the night 'Cus I can hear you crying out in the darkness for a light In the darkness for a light A prayer for rain A prayer to wash away the pain We'll pray for rain As it all just burns away But what if all of this Were only a dream And you were here with me Picking up the pieces in between The cracks inside ourselves Where the damage screams In a place where time stood still Picking up the pieces A prayer for rain A prayer to wash away the pain We'll pray for rain As it all just burns away A prayer for rain A prayer to wash away the pain We prayed for rain Just to watch it burn away

I killed your boyfriend He just wasn't cool I killed your boyfriend You were dating such a fool I killed your boyfriend He died very slow Cus he was your boyfriend I thought I'd let him know That you left me for him So his future would be very grim I chopped him up piece by piece Jealousy's sweet release I killed your boyfriend Tears were in his eyes I killed your boyfriend Cus I saw through his lies I killed your boyfriend He begged me to spare his life But I killed your boyfriend And chopped him up with a knife I watched him die oh so slowly Now you will always love me only Someday you'll look back and be glad That I was the best you've ever had

Leave me alone I've got nowhere else to go Leave me alone I'll burn much brighter on my own Leave me alone But how were you to know To leave me alone Surviving the unknown And if I knew that I could be Everything I wouldn't see It could have died instead of bleeding But after all the things they said We pulled apart the final thread And set it loose while it was breathing I want you to know I had no more room to grow They left me alone Overgrown in my own home So leave me alone It's time for you to go... And if I knew that I could be Everything I wouldn't see It could have died instead of bleeding But after all the things they said We pulled apart the final thread And set it loose while it was breathing

about

"Opening track The Witching Hour is a fan favourite, it’s dark and the lyrics are relatable with good guitar work and a strong drum/bass combo. The chant at around 2:25 is haunting. Title track Under The Mask is strongly produced with a bit of an AFI feel, it wouldn’t sound out of place as a theme song for a thriller.

There’s 35 seconds of thunder and a rainstorm in the shape of The Shape Retreats before lead single A Prayer For Rain kicks in. It’s catchy, more upbeat and has a poppy feel while still keeping the overall punk vibe. This was definitely a good choice as a lead single as it shows two different sides to Energy. “A prayer for rain, a prayer to wash away the pain” is very catchy. I Killed Your Boyfriend sounds like quite an evil thing, but in reality the track is more light-hearted with lyrics like “I killed your boyfriend, he just wasn’t cool. I killed your boyfriend, you were dating such a fool” although it gets more gruesome when talk turns to dismemberment and jealousy. It’s catchy, with some ‘woahs’ scattered throughout. It is repetitive with every other line being “I killed your boyfriend” but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The opening acoustic of closing track Leave Me Alone gives way to a mellower punk track, rounding the EP off well.

Overall, the EP is a very strong one and shows why the band have created such a loyal fan base across the globe. The instrumentation is intricate, lyrics are dark and the vocals are strong and change ever so slightly to suit the individual tracks. If you need me, I’ll be sat in a dark room listening to this on repeat."
