The lyrics of the song Black Right Hands are inspired by Chrysostomos Tsaprailis' short story "Μα το Δεξί Χέρι θα Παραμείνει Μαύρο (But the Right Hand will Remain Black)", included in his book "Παγανιστικές Δοξασίες στη Θεσσαλική Επαρχία (Pagan Beliefs in the Thessalian County)".

Black Right Hand lyrics

Beyond the village lights

Each night be sure to gripe

Tight in your palm the ring

Blackened in May's fire

Oh hear the tinker's pot

With the names of dirt's gods

Wherein's summoned the fever

That breathes with the frost

The hands shall remain black

The stone bridge workers

The warning, they didn't obey

"You shall not sit to rest

Under the fig tree's cursed shade"

They woke up into the night

Right fingers paralyzed

Like they had been worked

Inside the Devil's own fire

Through the small fire

Within the bridge's base

A huge hand moves and pounds

In the innards of the earth

Your salvation lies

With the wandering black man

Who shepherds his huge florins

And makes the Old Ones shake

The florins, they are nurtured

By creatures behind mirrors

That left the hand behind

On to the graves they're due for

Anti-Hero Tights Lyrics
Be careful what you wish
You might just get it on your face
Justice ought to be ruthless

So give it some good thought
Before you summon me tonight
I don't play well with others

Always to the rescue
No innocents will die
Bad guys are finished
Burned by my lazer sight
I just need one damn minute
To put on my anti-hero tights

Nothing sugarcoated
You get no comfort hugs
And no condescending talks

Call me whatever you want
As long as you understand
You're opening a can of worms
