Lyrics:
Lyrics written by Myk Dugan and Agrippa in 2008.
Coughing up blood
I can’t seem to catch my breath
Searing your lungs
The searing pain blinding me
Can’t get away
I fall to my knees in pain
Your end of days
Death by inhalation
Death by inhalation
And the demon rises
Flow from the moonlight tears
Nocturne screams at the light
Shifting the unsettled mind
Strengthens the heart of the unseen
see the blood you caused for your love
Death waits for you, fall to your knees
scream but we can’t hear what it means
Run, run away, make your escape
Coughing up blood
I can’t seem to catch my breath
Searing your lungs
The searing pain blinding me
Can’t get away
I fall to my knees in pain
Your end of days

“Originally it was a song that I wrote for my old band, Absolute Silence, before It lurked its way onto Beneath the Cypress Tree. Death by Inhalation is about all the inane thoughts that go through your head when you think your about to die. The lyrics were meant to be cryptic and erratic to reflect my thought process when this incident occurred.” – Myk Dugan
“The vocals were originally intended to be done by Myk alone, but I experimented a little by adding some new lyrics and vocal parts for emphasis. My vocals ended up being a better fit for the slower section in the middle of the song so we kept that too.” - Agrippa
In Studio: Death By Inhalation was produced and engineered by Agrippa. It was one of the last songs recorded for the Beneath the Cypress Tree album.
Agrippa – Lead and back up vocals, bass programming, drum programming, synth and sequencer.
Myk Dugan – Lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitars.
“The guitars only took me about 45 minuets to write, excluding the solo, and the drums were original written by Daniel Green before being completely reworked by Agrippa to more appropriately fit the A93 sound.” - Myk Dugan
Live Performance: Death By Inhalation has never been performed live.
