The song “Castle Freak” is a retelling of the movie with the same name. The The song “Castle Freak” is a retelling of the movie with the same name from 1995. The movie was made by Stuart Gordon and was based upon the H.P. Lovecraft story “The Outsider”. The song takes the view of the freak himself, Giorgio, that was locked down in the castle’s dungeon. Desperate for love of a woman and even more for revenge towards the people that made him a monster. A sad revenge story. The line “They say that god forgives … well, I don’t!” has been noted in the reviews of the album. The line is a tribute to the spaghetti western “God Forgives… I Don’t” from 1967. The main riff is very different from any of the other of our songs – while the chorus is more melodic with a lead guitar. While the mid-part might remind you of Slayer. Mostly because of the drumming. It can be a hard song to get right live as it needs the right tempo to get the groove. But when it does – it sure rocks.
LYRICS:
Now the time has come – for all the scum
My life locked away – feeling dismay!
Now I want revenge – I want all dead
They say that god forgives … well, I don’t!
Castle freak! So to speak!
Castle freak! Hide and seek!
Castle freak! So to speak!
Castle freak! Allright!
A hideous creature – unleashed from chains
But who can love me – A monster man
Feeling down and blue – dungeon blues
This is my cry for help – cry for revenge!
Castle freak! So to speak!
Castle freak! Hide and seek!
Castle freak! So to speak!
Castle freak! Allright!
