The Jonah
"After 7 Years On A Dusty Shelf
The Book Seemed Unreal
For 7 Years In An Ancient Rhyme
The Fate Of A Girl Was Sealed"
In The Attic I Was Searching
By The Moonlight
What Would I Find
Old And Grey From Dust I felt
It Staring Back
Oh That Book
Yellow Pages Caught My Eyes,
So Unreal
Through the Dust Of Time
In An Ancient Rhyme The Truth
Had Been Sealed
On A Broken Shelf It Would All
Be Revealed
It Had Been There For Years
And No One Ever Knew
Now Break The Spell And Free
The Girl
From The Candle Of Fate
Look At The Flame And Say The
Rhyme
The End Is Near, No More Pain,
Ah You're Free
As The Candle Melts Away The
Spirit Of The Candle Girl
Emerges From The Flame, She
Doesn't Seem The Same
With A Smile On Her Face She
Starts To Speak
"Hear My Story:"
The Portrait
The Spirit Of The Candle:
"My Mother Was Obsessed By Evil
Jealousy
She Didn't Want Nobody To Even
Look At Molly
She Kept Me Locked Up In This
Attic 'Till I Died
Only 4 Years Old, My Story Left
Untold"
Oh Molly...Oh Molly
"Mother Was Struck By This Infallible
Idea
If She Could Paint My Portrait
I Would Remain Immortal
And I Could Hang Downstairs
Above The Fireplace
A Little Girl In Lace, Not A
Single Trace Of Crime"
"Each day And Night She Worked
And Autumn Turned To
Spring
For Every Stroke She Painted
A Little Life Was Ended
At Last I Felt So Weak I Could
Not Even Speak
But In That Fatal Portrait My
Spirit Came To Lfe Again"
Oh Molly
"That Night I Made The Portrait
Speak In Evil Tongue:
You're Gonna Go Beyond Too,
May Pain And Death Bestow
You
She Grabbed A Book And Spoke
Aloud An Ancient Rhyme
While She Burned The Portrait
In The Candle Of Fate"
Oh Molly
"I've Gotta Se Ma"
Dressed In White
She's Wearing White Again But
Colours Always Betray
Don't Look Into Her Eyes, There's
An Evil Darkness Inside
You Might See Her But She Is
Not Here
Leave Her Alone Don't Get To
Near
One Touch And You'll Disappear
What A Scream You'll Never Hear
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll
Never Know
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll
Never Know
Searching But Not For A Home
A Restless Soul All On Its Own
Always Dressed In White
As She Passes On Through The
Night
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll
Never Know
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll
Never Know

The Lake
It is Sunday morning, well right
before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on
the mansion "porch"
She calls out a name, "God give
him the sea"
I'm here from the darkest deep
And hear my name...
Down by the lake, there's the
shadow of grief
Dancind hand in hand with the
Devil
Watching from the bridge, the
one near by the lake
Why sister Margaret? No need
the hate
Yes, we all know, "light your
seventh cross"
Oh please do it my dear
While you're lost
Down by the lake...
Dancing hand in hand...
(Solo)
And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret
Follow "pry", the nun won't
give in
She catched us along
Scared as Hell, the little girl
is screaming
When sister Margaret disapears
in the lake
Down by the lake, there's the
shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the
Devil
Arrival
"That must be it!"
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads
meet below,
And where all darkness seems
to grow.
People blame it on the Hill....
The hill where no one dares
to go....
The Mansion...where no one dares
to go.
The coach had stopped, and from
the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la
Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes.
They were in for a surprise....
The darkness would soon be complete.
A horseman came forth from the
dark....
"We know you've come to inherit
what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advise and go back
on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become
9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get
out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared
into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help,
my friend...."
I think poor Jonathan was scared....
18 is actually 9...It stuck
in his mind....
A Mansion In Darkness
Riding up the alley in the rain,
No lights to show the way.
How could this ever be their
home?
Through the darkness you could
only see
A giant shadow that swells to
be
A house where evil rules at
night
And the shadows at the gate,
they seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the shadows at the gate
-- alive.
Everything inside was left untouched
Except for what the rats had
got,
And the dust of time that showed
its mark.
Armed with candlelight and open
eyes
Through the dark they fought
their way
'Til every room was lit again....
And the house began to breathe,
it seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the house began to breathe
-- alive.
As the candlelight began to
fade,
And Jonathan said, "Let's go
to bed."
The fireplace had ceased to
burn....
Both were fast asleep before
the dawn, Dreaming...Dreaming....
And they did not know about
the shadow....
Yeah, the shadow on the wall,
it really came alive.
Yeah, the shadow on the wall
-- Sunrise!
The Family Ghost
The darkness came closer to
home on the following night,
And Miriam slept like a rock
when Jonathan's face went white....
The bedroom was ice cold,
But the fire was burning still.
The blinding light!
The Family Ghost had risen again...The
Ghost!
"Don't be scared. Don't be scared
now, my friend.
I am Count de la Fey.
Let me take you to the crypt
down below.
Where Abigail rests....
Let Miriam sleep.
She never would understand.
Now come let us go.
It's time to know...."
"Beware of the slippery stairs.
You could easily fall and break
your neck!
Hand me that torch and I will
lead the way
To the secret in the dark.
Take a look into the vault...."
The sarcophagus of a child!
"Abigail has been in here for
years and years . . . stillborn."
"The spirit of Abigail is inside
your wife,
And there's only one way you
can stop the rebirth of Evil Itself:
You must take her life now!"
The 7th Day Of July 1777
Count de LaFey uncovered his
cheating wife.
Nine months of loving and sharing....
Oh, it was a bastard child!
How could he have been so blind?!
"No bastard baby will inherit
what's mine!"
Another one of her affairs had
left him in despair....
So he pushed her down the stairs
to die. . .
"No!" she cried. . .
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July.
. . .
The Countess broke her neck,
And the embryo came out dead.
Then he burned his beloved wife,
And the embryo he gave a name.
. .
"Abigail, you must rest in shame!
Rest in shame!"
Obsessed
With a strange idea,
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find
. . . and he did.
So he pushed her down the stairs
to die. . .
"No!" she cried. . .
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July.
. . .
Omens
Nobody's inside the church,
but the bell is ringing.
For no reason, the flowers are
dying.
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens!
Inside the mansion, the air
is unbearable -- a rotten smell.
In the dining room, the table
is set for three.
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens!
"Miriam, come here and see what
I've found. It's moving!
An empty cradle swaying in the
air!
I did not bring it in here!
Did you?!"
"No, no, no!"
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens
The Possession
On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten away
by the sun,
Miriam grew hour by hour, and
Jonathan he cried.
He knew the ghost had been telling
the truth.
So this was 9!
The pregnancy would not last
overnight!
Oh, she started singing a lullaby,
Rocking the cradle again,
And then she said, "I'm having
your baby my love...."
But it wasn't love!
She was possessed . . . and
he knew!
"I will get what is rightfully
mine!"
Speaking with different tongues,
Miriam was eaten alive from
inside.
Again she said, "I'm having
your baby my love...."
But it wasn't love!
She was possessed . . . possessed!
Abigail
"Abigail! I know you're in control
of her brain, Abigail!
And I know that you're the one
that's speaking through her,
Abigail!
Miriam, can you hear me??"
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head...."
"Abigail! Don't you think I
know what you've done, Abigail?!
I'll get a priest! He will know
how to get her soul back!"
"Oh, Jonathan! This is Miriam!
Our time is out!
Remember the stairs! It's the
only way!"
"Abigail! Nothing I can do but
give in, Abigail...."
"Jonathan, I agree.... Yes I
do...."
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head....
Soon I'll be free!!!"
Black Horsemen
So, there they stood at the
top of the stairs....
Miriam in the mood . . . Jonathan
was scared.
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan
saw this glow....
For a second, he turned his
back,
And she was there like a ghost.
She pushed him hard and clean
. . . to the bottom of the stairs.
"Now we're finally alone, Miriam.
Abigail is here to stay!"
The birth of Abigail would soon
be realized.
The second coming of a devil
in disguise.
And the moon did not shine....
It was darker than ever before.
On this sacred night
The soul of Miriam was crying
out in pain.
Remembering the day . . . Arrival
in the rain . . .
The pain of labour was so strong
that Miriam died.
Her final seeing was a pair
of yellow eyes.
You can still hear her screaming
If you're walking the stairs
in July....
Riding from beyond,
The seven Horsemen would arrive
before the dawn.
Servants of the Count when Abigail
was born the first time.
Oh, no!
They found her in the sarcophagus.
Baby Abigail was eating . .
. oh, I cannot tell you . . . .
"Take her . . . and bring her
To the chapel in the forest.
So go now . . . The ceremony!
And the coffin's waiting...."
The Black Horsemen
That's the end of another lullaby....
Time has come for me to say
goodnight....
OUT FROM THE ASYLUM
Look, the old bitch is back
- yeah,
finally we'll get some company
again
the attic room has been
locked up for far too long -
just like the
old bitch herself - she's on
time
though - why that silly wheelchair?
Oh she's pretending as always
- but
she does make a good cup of
tea.
"Oh My God she's here. Missy,
listen
to what Mother says: Now You
be
good to Grandma; and remember
she's been away on a long vacation.
That goes for You too King.
And stop
playing that thing. Answer the
door"
WELCOME HOME
Grandma' welcome home... You
have
been gone for far too long
Is this a dream, are You really
back?
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel...
Ahhh
Grandma' take a look
What do You think of the house
and
the silvery moon?
We are going to repaint the
front door
soon
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel...
Ahhh
Wait till You see Your room
up in the
attic
Prepared just like You said,
without a
bed
You will find Your rocking chair
and
the tea pot that Missy found
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
There is someone waiting for
You,
now come along
Missy and Mother, they are dying
to
meet You
How strange... she's spoken
no word...
I wonder Grandma'! Are You all
right?
Grandma' what was it like to
be on
that holiday site
"Oh it could have been worse
but
with "THEM" by my side
In the twilight "THEY" sang
all the old
lullabies"
Grandma' who are "THEY"... "never
mind You dirty little brat"
"Let us go inside, something's
on
"THEIR" mind
"THEY" are still alive, can
You feel
"THEIR" eyes
Can You feel "THEIR" eyes?
Now that You are stuck with
me You
better be my friend.
THE INVISIBLE GUESTS
Late that night I awoke from
My sleep
Hearing unknown voices laughing
insane
Grandma' was one, Oh it's coming
from the room next to mine
It's Grandma' room . . . the
invisible
guests
As I stood there alone in the
dark
Peeking through the keyhole,
couldn't
believe My eyes
I'd never seen anything like
it, only
Grandma' was inside the room
Speaking to no one . . . the
invisible
guests
Cups were rising in thin air
and then
emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open and
Grandma' said
"Do come in My little friend"
Missy and Mother were sleeping
downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's
chair
Grandmother said "look Me deep
in
the eyes
You will forget what You saw
here
tonight"
"I will let You in on the secret
of this
house
The secret of Amon . . . that's
what we
call this house
Now I want you to go back to
sleep,
now go back to sleep My dear"
The invisible guests
Cups were rising in thin air
and then
emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open and
Grandma' said
"Now you must go back to sleep"
"Go to sleep". . ."Go to sleep".
. .
"Go to sleep". . .
Missy and Mother were sleeping
downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's
chair
TEA
On the following friday as I
turned out
the light
Grandma' came and knocked at
My
door
"Wake up King, wake up My dear
I am gonna show You about the
house
of Amon"
It is time for tea, it is time
again
"Even Your mother is present
We made her sleep in My rocking
chair"
At first I felt really scared
but there
was no reason to
As I saw the knife sneaking
out from
Grandmother's dress
Then it cut a tiny wound in
My
mother's little hand
It is time for tea, it is time
again
Blood was running into the tea
pot,
then I heard "THEM" laugh
"A bit of this in a cup of tea,
is what it
takes to set "THEM" free
You will hear "THEM" telling
stories
from far beyond this earth"
What I saw and what I heard
made me
want to stay and learn
I really hope this dream will
never
end, it's hard to describe the
kind of
feeling that went on in My mind
A paradise
Hearing "THEIR" stories and
feeling
"THEIR" warmth
We laughed with tears in our
eyes
From the first cup of tea, to
the last
drop of blood
Nothing seemed to matter at
all
anymore
My Mother? She didn't exist
to me,
Oh I felt so heavenly
It is time for tea, it is time
again
MOTHER'S GETTING WEAKER
Tonight would be the last night
that
we had our tea
That bloody tea, which sent
us into
ecstasy
Yesterday Mother complained,
feeling
dizzy, all in pain
Mother's getting weaker, looking
paler day by day
As morning came, she could not
make
it out of bed
And Grandma's spell was getting
straight into her head
Not a single word, she didn't
seem to
be alive
Getting weaker, looking paler
day by
day
Then Missy came in and she led
me by
the hand
I didn't want to go, Oh but
I should
have known
Mother was barely conscious,
why
should I care
Just looking forward to the
next
ordeal
I think I heard My sister begging
me
to stay
She gave me the phone, so I
could call
someone for help
I simply let go of her hand,
then I cut
the wire
Missy was crying as I left them
both
behind
And Mother's getting weaker,
Missy
shouted at My back
"I hate You"
BYE, BYE MISSY
Tea time Monday night, I was
waiting
passing time
Then from the hallway, I saw
Mother
in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the
stairs, it
seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM"
again, the invisible friends
A little later in the middle
of tea we
came close to ecstasy
"THEY" were telling tales from
beyond when Grandma' rose
She opened the door, and there
was
Missy
Seeing Mother in Grandmother's
chair, she went into tears
Missy was screaming
"What have You done, what have
you
done to My Ma", crying louder
now
"We better get rid of her, She's
too
young anyway", it was Grandma'
who
spoke
"Bye, bye Missy, be gone forever
The beautiful fireplace in the
kitchen
will do"
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma'
wrinkled hands
"Oh No, let me be, Oh No Please
No
Grandma' Please
Aagh Grandma' You're hurting
me.
Don't touch me or I'll break
it, I've got
the tea pot, I'll do it anyway"
I saw liquid spreading, the
bloody tea
all over the floor
Now I heard "THEIR" voices,
some
kind of demon growls
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON
- DIE
"THEY" dropped "THEIR" tea cups,
Grandma' stood still
forced by invisible hands, Missy
went
down the stairs
As I waved her goodbye, Missy
was
sobbing away
Will I ever see her again, Bye
bye
Missy, don't be afraid
A BROKEN SPELL
I stumbled out of Grandma's
room,
down the stairs and out of the
house
Once outside I felt My mind
begin to
fight a battle for control
With the tea pot broken I kind
of
realized
That "THEIR" power was less
here,
here on the outside
I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the
window
to the cellar
Things were moving down there,
"THEY" were searching for something
And "THEY" really found it,
the big axe was flying
Flying out through the cellar
door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out
The next thing I remember seeing
was
the smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke I
saw was
actually... Oh No!
All there was left of Missy
and her
dress, poor little girl
The spell was broken, I really
felt the
change
As my mind and body became one
again
The moon was alive with its
silvery
eye
Staring right into My evil heart
I went back to see if My Grandma'
was still there
Waiting for me in the attic...
Oh I hate
that bitch
THE ACCUSATION CHAIR
I kind of knew that she would
be
waiting for me in her room
With a sick smile she told me
not to
be a fool
Her eyes went hard, staring
right into
My brain
But I convinced her that I was
feeling
real fine
Oh, I was lying... seeing the
look in
her eyes
Clearing My mind was important
She believed everything I said
And then she asked me if I would
help
to bring her outside
Oh, I was lucky... "let us stay
for a
while" she said
"Bathing ourselves in the moonlight"
So there she was, unprotected
by
"THEM"
I grabbed her cane, and tore
it out of
her hand
"No way, You're not going to
escape"
"Now that I've got You . . .
here You will
pay for Your deeds
Your sick mind has come to an
end
now"
"Stop it"
Nowhere to hide, Grandma' had
died
Alone in the night
And "THEY" were waiting for
me
waiting inside
Hoping that I would come back
in
But I just ran away
Into the woods, as far as I
could
I saw "THEIR" eyes
And then I fainted again, going
insane
Dreaming that I was one of "THEM"...
I hear "THEIR" voices all the
time
"THEM"
Acoustic guitar by Andy La Rocque.
. .
TWILIGHT SYMPHONY
Morning came and so did they,
flying
questions from the police
I'm waiting here in an ambulance
for
Dr. Landau
To return and tell me why they're
taking me so far away
"I did what I did and I'm glad
I did,
'cos I could have been the...
I could have been the next in
line"
Nobody found a trace of Missy
I'd be the last to tell them
anyway
How could I ever ever explain
Now I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
Grandma' was dead with an open
neck
Blood still running from My
open
mouth
I knew they would blame it,
they
would blame it all on me
How could I ever ever explain
Now I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
Dr. Landau returned, and I told
him the
story
"Are You mad or just insane?"
I tried anyway
"You can take him away now,
the boy
has lost his mind"
Oh no no
I haven't seen My Mother since
they
took me away
And Dr. Landau wouldn't tell
me
He wouldn't tell me anything
Oh I'm back on the outside
Time has caught up with me,
and I
must leave for the old house
Yes I must leave now
Grandma'... I'm coming
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now
COMING HOME
"Grandma'?"
"I knew it was You at the door,
I saw
You from the window. Now come
inside My dear. It's good to
see You
again, despite what You did
to MY
throat. "THEY" are waiting upstairs.
Come. Missy is there too. She's
sitting
on Grandpa's lap. I bet You're
dying for
a cup of tea."
PHONE CALL
"Hello, King."
"Who . . . who's this?"
"It's your grandmother."
". . . but . . .you're dead
. . ."
"In a way, yes. Now listen .
. . are you still there?"
"I . . . I'm still here, Grandma
. . . yes . . ."
"Come to the old house tonight.
There're quite a few people
there who'd love to see you
. . ."
"Stop it! Bitch! It's starting
all over again . . . ."
At The Graves
Missy I miss You so. Oh little
Sister
I wish You'd come back to Me
and sit by My side
We'd laugh and we'd play again,
if only You'll try
You know "THEY" would show the
way
From the other side
Rise from Your grave little
Sister
Rise . . . Rise . . . Rise My
friends . . . Rise
Spirits rising from their grave
Burning shadows in the dead
of night
Icy fingers all over My hand
Try to make Me understand
"Finally we have returned .
. . All of us"
Missy is that You, come closer
Spirits rising from their grave
Everywhere that ghostly stare
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead me back to where she stands
"THEY" are back to share My
life . . . "THEY" are back
Missy come, come with Me, there
are things I must know
How did you get here, where's
the door to the other side
Missy: "Beyond the graves lies
the gate
the gate that leads to the dead
We have to leave before the
dawn
if not by the sun we will burn"
Spirits rising from their grave
soon the dawn will chase the
dark away
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead Me back to where "THEY"
stand
Am I glad You have returned
. . . All of you
Do You remember when Grandmother
said she heard "THEM"
sing
I've heard "THEM" too and I
really wish I could hear "THEM"
again
Missy: "In Your mind You'll
hear "THEM" sing
every night at the graves
we have to leave before the
dawn
if not by the sun we will burn
now sing"
Show Your powers onto Me
Sleepless Nights
I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
I hear "THEM" dancing at the
graves
singing to My mind
killing the pain . . . sleepless
nights . . . sleepless nights
I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
only "THEY" can let us meet
even though she's dead now
I gotta see her again . . .
sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
I cannot sleep at night
I will do anything to see Missy
again
"Then let us make You an eternal
deal
You will attend to the graves
You'll give us the house back
and keep in mind
that we only come here at night".
So we made the deal under the
starry night and
"AMON" belongs to "THEM" now
. . .
I feel the dawn coming My way
And as the sun breaks up the
dark
I can't hear "THEM" dance no
more
There's no voices
killing the pain . . . pain
. . . pain
Lies
Yesterday I spent an hour
A full hour in therapy
My favourite Doctor Landau
My God I hate his breath
He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a
lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers Doctor like
Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies
I told him all My nightmares
Were dead and gone
"These days I sleep like a baby
and there never ever was a "THEM"
He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a
lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers Doctors
like
The Doctor looked at My eyes
Landau: "No trace of insanity
maybe the time is right now
to have a visit from the family
I'm thinking of Your Mother
what does My little patient
say?"
I should have taken his stethoscope
and then forced it down his
throat
My Mother was at stake
So I behaved
That night I cleaned the entire
house
For everything but the memories
No dust, no tea, ah stupid me
I even took the axe away
The sun is up and it's time
for bed
I'm so tired
I can't wait no more
A Visit From The Dead
It must be summer the sky is
clear
The garden is so beautiful
All the flowers and all the
trees
Make Me feel like they're inside
of Me
I'm holding My sister's hand
While we're playing in the sand
It's all but a dream
My bed is moving, I cannot see
a thing
I am in total darkness, someone
is calling
I can feel the chill, it's all
around Me
I know it's not a dream, No
no no
Someone is in My room
Standing at the end of My bed
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Now I see her figure, it's just
a little child
And there's no reflection, she's
in the mirror
Could it really be, has she
returned?
My little sister
"King beware...something bad
is coming Your way . . .
King beware"
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Missy will You tell Me
You know we don't have no secrets
"Just beware"
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
You've to to tell Me Missy
Come on now, spit out little
girl
"I will send You a dream . .
. "
The Wedding Dream
My Mother is entering My dream
now
She's wearing a wedding dress
Something's wrong with the way
she walks the aisle
I think it's her legs
Suddenly there is someone else
beside her
That man I recognize
The Doctor intends to marry
Mother
It's got to be stopped
Now what have I done
My Mother's on the floor and
the Doctor's gone
Everything is wrong
And as I keep the axe I wonder
what's to come
I'm caught within a dream there's
no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light
of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream . . . Oh the
dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within I feel like I'm
going blind
There is a light at the end
of this starless nightmare
Someone's calling, guiding me
back inside . . . The dream . . .
No
Get away from him Mother
You better stop kissing, 'cause
he's an enemy
Take at look at his hand
He's got the key to my house,
the Doctor is the devil
I'm caught within a dream there's
no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light
of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream . . . Oh the
dream
Dream . . . the wedding dream
. . . Oh the dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within I feel like I'm
going blind
There is a light at the end
of this starless nightmare
Someone's screaming: "Help me
please" And it's Me
At sunrise I woke up in a sweat
The nightmare was gone
The dream I was sent is fading
slowly
I do not understand
"Amon" Belongs To "Them"
Today My Mother will return
to My house
And all the things I've done
I've done to make her feel at
home again
Oh . . . it's all part of an
act
She can stay as long as I keep
the pact
There's someone ringing at My
front door bell
I see My Mother there
Standing with the man I wanna
send to hell
Mother: "Oh King, see who came
along"
Ma, You don't understand
It's all part of the deal
There's no way I can let him
inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Doctor: "You go ahead and have
a talk with the boy My dear"
You better bring this along
something might go wrong inside"
Come on Mother let me show You
the house
come on Mother there's a lot
to discuss
Mother: "Oh King, please let
him in"
Ma, You don't understand
It's all part of the deal
Ther's no way I can let him
inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Now let Me tell You what I've
seen in the house lately
I've seen Your daughter here
coming and going when the dark
is near
You must never ever tell anyone
what I've told
I have hear "THEM" singing too
Hey Mother what's that for?
Oh I feel the needle piercing
My skin
And I'm falling, Yes I'm falling
down . . .
Something Weird
(Instrumental)
Victimized
A little later in the day Mother
and the Doctor went away
They left me lying on the floor
Heading for local church, no
a trace of guilt in their eyes
The reverend Sammael, the venom
of GOD himself
And so easy to convert
Conspiracy, I'm being victimized
again
Knocking at the preacher's door
none of them were ever here
before
Sammael, GOD in his eyes, leads
them into the silent room
Oh such a holy gloom
Doctor: "Priest, do You remember
King, the loony one
the one who killed his Grandma'
up on the hill?"
Priest: "Yes I do"
Conspiracy
Doctor: "Now he's back, the
loony one"
Talking to the preacher for
a while
the Doctor turned him into a
child
Sammael, GOD in his eyes, swallowed
everything the Doctor
said
Oh in the gloom of the night
Priest: "From what You tell
Me we cannot save him
It could be Satan himselfg or
some evil demon
Let us not waste any time, the
demon might twist our minds
We must go and do what must
be done"
Conspiracy, I am being victimized
again . . . victimized
So they left the church, conspiracy
of the cursed
Through the dark and the rain,
the priest was mildly insane
A crucifix in his hand . . .
Oh no . . .
Doctor: "Soon the house belongs
to us My dear
and King will be gone forever,
isn't it just heaven?"
Let It Be Done
Doctor: "Who's gonna set fire
to the coffin?"
Priest: "I think You and Your
wife to be
should do it together, while
I keep
the demon inside with My crucifix"
Doctor: "So it's into the coffin,
use the torch
and then we put the remains
into
his sister's grave, right?"
Priest: "Yes, let it be done"
Cremation
Whenever the dark is near
I will return from the grave
to haunt You . . . Godforsaken
whore
THE TRIAL (Chambre Ardante)
La Reymie:
"Jeanne Dibasson, You stand
accused before the burning court
for practising witchcraft. Do
you confess? We have ways
to make You talk. How do You
plead?"
Jeanne:
"I never did any harm to anyone.
I don't believe this."
La Reymie:
"Lead the witch to the dungeon
for the test...
bring out the glowing pins.
Do it now!"
This is rotten to the core
Jeanne is naked on the floor
In the dungeon they want more
La Reymie:
"Oh Jeanne, you feel so good"
La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her
La Reymie:
"So this is how You make with
the devil
we're gonna get You, witchy
woman
we will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins
now"
Sticking needles into her skin
yeah
In the dungeon blood is everywhere
Glowing needles, needles and
pins yeah
She's getting weaker, no more
pain to feel
La Reymie:
"We will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins
now"
"We are the servants of GOD,
we believe in the devil
and we've found his mark on
You, confess witch"
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch
to live
who soever lieth with a beast
shall surely be put the death"
Jeanne:
"Never did I lie with any beast
of thine
dogs, or cats or goats, now
leave My soul alone"
La Reymie:
"He that sacrificeth unto any
god save the lord only
he shall be utterly destroyed"
Jeanne:
"Now I hear, deceiving, lying
tongues
never have I done no harm to
anyone"
But they did not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can You tell Me where's the
proof
BURN
The Inquisition will take her
to the hill
Ready for the kill, giving GOD
his will
Everybody's there, none of them
will care
Not a single prayer
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
Looking at the sky, soon the
girl will die
Nobody will cry, hear her screaming
"why"?
The priests are all in line,
now they give the sign
Let the fire shine
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
They say the devil is here tonight
Then let him play his violin
so wild
Higher, burning higher, flames
will soon devour
Higher, burning higher, the
smell of skin turned sour
Higher, burning higher, her
legs are scorched by fire
Ashes to ashes, I see a smile
on their wicked faces
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the
devil's child
Lightning from the sky, magic's
coming by
As her necklace flies right
into her eye
The priests are all in line,
now they give the sign
Let the fire die
Burned in the night, there are
no remains
Burned in the night, just a
magic chain
TWO LITTLE GIRLS
One little girl with dirty fingers
Playing with her broken doll
As the other girl is lying
Digging deep into the ground
They seem to play an evil game
A game that doesn't have a name
Both of them are in the ashes
At the stake where witches burn
If only they could see beyond
the ground they play on
The girls are laughing still,
they think they're having fun
They should be far away, watching
the sun go down
One little girl picked up a
necklace
From the ashes of the witches
It had wings and then the other
cried out loud "Now let me have
it"
The other looked without a sigh
Right into the witche's eye
The kind of horror that she
saw
Made her choke for evermore
I wish they could have seen
beyond the ground they played on
They would be laughing still,
having the best of fun
They would be far away watching
the sun go down
INTO THE CONVENT
Madeleine is running away from
herself
Afraid of the shame, she's crying
out for help
To be clean again
No one cared and no one ever
will
Her feelings were not shared,
she wants to break the spell
and she's going
Into the convent, a smile on
her face
Into the darkness to hide all
her sins
Wondering what could go wrong
in this place
Father David: "Welcome Sister,
I'm Your chaplain
Down on Your knees and pray
if You please
in This convent I'm Your master
Kiss My cross now dearest Sister
In the Name of ..."
Madeleine is running away from
herself
As father David said: "At communion
You must be undressed"
Why did she go
Into the convent, a smile on
her face
Into the darkness to hide all
her sins
Wondering what could go wrong
in this place
Father David: "Come along Sister
Madeleine
Unfold Your wildest dreams,
it's time to join and sing
Let the feast begin"
That night she awoke to find
"The Eye"
On the stone cold floor Why,
She never ever would know why
But she put it on
Next day father David passed
away
At communion time
Why, he never ever would know
why
But he looked at "The Eye"
The eye of the necklace is laking
it's toll
Inside the convent a soul will
rejoice
FATHER PICARD
A new chaplain has arrived
Madeleine and a few other nuns
At the convent will meet him
tonight
Father Picard:
"Welcome to my quarters, do
come inside
Welcome dearest Sisters, come
into the light"
"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking
over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"
"Oh yeah come on it's not a
crime
From now on every sunday this
time
You will attend this communion
of mine"
Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine
Father Picard:
"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking
over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"
The nuns freak out, lust in
their eyes
From now on every sunday this
time
Father Picard's in control of
their minds
Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine
BEHIND THESE WALLS
Walking in the garden, picking
flowers in the sun
Madeleine is on her own
She can't see any of the other
nuns
Is she blind or is it her mind
What's going on? What's going
on behind these walls...
All the birds are singing, but
Madeleine can't hear their song
Memories of screams in the night
Moaning coming from below where
the prison cells are cold
She does not understand what's
going on
Now the bell is ringing, communion
time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
The bible in her hand reminds
her of the wine
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going
on behind these walls...
What's going on? Behind these
walls...
THE MEETINGS
The night is black
7 figures walk the streets of
Louviers
Picard is one, another two are
priests
And then the nuns, going to
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy,
again and again
The room is dark
Candles on the wall, they've
been here before
The christian cross is hanging
high above
The altar of GOD
Madeleine is at the gate
Hazy feeling in her brain
As the strangers come in to
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy,
again and again
The strangers brought
The sweetest little child, but
something's wrong
The baby cries, someone here
will die
And now the nuns pray
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy,
again and again
Madeleine and the other nuns
They hold the infant up to the
cross
As father Picard and the priests
Approach with hammers and nails
There's no more to tell
INSANITY
(Instrumental)
1642 IMPRISONMENT
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy
and alter wine
Black candles burning low, to
the meetings again they go
Picard can't wait to take away
another soul
Oh it's a shame, Picard was
so insane
In the year of 1642, it came
to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy
and alter wine
Black death come this way, Father
Picard will soon be going
He's ill, so sick, now his meetings
are forever over
Oh it's a shame, they went along
with his game
In the year of 1642, it came
to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy
and alter wine
The nuns can't take the blame
One after one they suffer a
breakdown
Confession, confession, they
confess to diabolic possession
Oh it's shame, even Madeleine
has gone insane
In the year of 1642, Madeline
was leaving hell In 1642, she
found freedom in her prison
cell
THE CURSE
I know what You're thinking.
I can see through your brain
I know what You're doing, even
though I'm far away
The power I get from the chain
is mine
Only I can use it
The power I get from the chain
is mine
Only I can use it
It was only yesterday, thunder
rolling by, breaking up the sky
And the rain was pouring down
Pounding on my brain, driving
me insane
I was drinking wine again, oh
yeah blame it on the wine
The curse of "The Eye", it will
take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it
will take you back in time
The curse of "The Eye", it will
take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it
will take you back in time
I know what You're thinking.
I can see through your brain
I know what You're doing, even
though I'm far away
I know there's a bad side to
the power of the chain
I know I'll be going back in
time once again
It was only the 1st of May,
thunder rolling by, breaking up the
sky
And the rain was pouring down
The Inquisition came, I felt
the pain
I had to relive it all in just
one day
The curse of "The Eye", it will
take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it
will take you back in time
The power I get from the chain
is mine
Only I can use it
Killer
At midnight, an hour from now...
they're gonna flick the switch
Down the Hall, beyond the iron
door... they're gonna end my life
I will see you all in Hell,
isn't that where we all must go?
I will not tell you what I did...
It doesn't matter now
I will tell,how weird it is,
to know exactly when you're gonna go
I am a killer... I'm gonna get
what I deserve
I am a killer, they're gonna
fry my each and every nerve
It is not, the soul I sell,
it's not the pain from hell
It is not the feel of dying,
of that I was never afraid
I will see you all in hell,
isn't that where we all must go?
Gazing at the iron door, while
time is slipping away
What's really driving me insane
Is what to do with my final
hour
I am a killer... I'm gonna get
what I deserve
I am a killer, they're gonna
fry my each and every nerve
I've got less than an hour to
kill
I'm looking back at the life
I've had to live
What a waste... what a mess...
I should have never been born...
I hear them, coming down the
hall, I know they're coming for me
I don't need that silly Priest,
Oh, just get on with the show
I am a killer... I'm gonna get
what I deserve
I am a killer, They're gonna
fry my each and every nerve
The Poltergeist
Some would say there is trouble
in my home
Even when I am alone
Some would say there is always
someone home
Even though I might be gone
Speak to me my friend, I know
you're there
Speak to me my friend... speak
to me... SPEAK TO ME!
I can always feel it's there,
creeping one step behind me
Cold hands in the night, I know
that it's watching me
The Poltergeist living in my
home
Could be a friend or foe
The Poltergeist living in my
home
Could be a friend for life or
a foe until the night I die
Speak to me my friend, let me
hear your tongue
"I don't like most of those
you invite... Get them out", GET
THEM OUT!
Speak to me my friend, I know
you're there
Speak to me my friend... speak
to me... SPEAK TO ME!
My guests can never tell when
it's creeping up to touch them
They will never ever know our
game
Until they feel it and scream
The Poltergeist living in my
home
Could be a friend or foe
The Poltergeist living in my
home
Could be a friend for life or
a foe until the night I die
Speak to me my friend, we are
one and the same
Now that you're living here...
Welcome home... Welcome home
You can stay forever
Dreams
The witching hour has arrived
here too soon
I know that all my dreams are
inside this room
Oh... yeah, it's all in this
tune
Dreams in the night, falling
like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive
me insane
They cannot wait until I turn
off the light
When I'm asleep they've got
the key to my mind
Oh... yeah, can't leave them
behind
Dreams in the night, falling
like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive
me insane
Dreams in the night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another
dream now
The spider's lullabye is all
they can sing
As they inject their poison
into my brain
Oh... yeah, they're calling
my name
Dreams in the night, falling
like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive
me insane
Give me another dream now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another
dream now
Rainbows and waterfalls
Little girls are swimming in
a pond of gold
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
Sweet blue eyes of innocence
Begging me...
To follow them to the other
side
Ah... they're growing horns!!!
Dreams in the night, falling
like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive
me insane
Dreams in the night
Let me out of these dreams...
dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams...
dreams... dreams
Let me out of these dreams...
dreams... dreams
Moonlight
In the moonight
I see children searching for
their souls
In the moonlight, can you hear
them howling on the wind
Night after night, I see them
passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We
know you are there"
I see no eyes, I guess they
must be blind
Wish that I could lead them
to a better world than mine
In the moonlight, not a bird
is singing lullabyes
In the moonlight, I hear a church
bell ring its evil song
Night after night, I see them
passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We
know you are there"
I see no eyes, I guess they
must be blind
Wish that I could lead them
to a better world than mine
In the moonlight.............
In the moonlight..................
Night after night, I see them
passing by
Wish that I could lead them
to a better world than mine
In the moonight
I see children searching for
their souls
In the moonlight
I hear screams of pain from
a thousand years ago
Raven spread your wings, lead
the spirits to their home
Raven spread your wings, lead
the spirits to their home
To their home
In the moonlight..............
In the moonlight..................
Six Feet Under
My family just couldn't wait,
I should have seen it coming
What a nice conspiracy, what
a nice surprise
But now it's all too late
I am six feet under, It's so
very hard to breathe
My family they put me here in
a coffin made of glass
So I can see them in their glory
or they can see me in my misery
They're standing all around
my grave
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin
made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very
hard to breathe
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin
made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very
hard to breathe
My hands are turning blue while
my nails are turning to Red
Looking up into faces of greed
I'm sweating cold and white
with fear
Sinister smiles... upon their
lips
One of them is waving me goodbye
I am six feet under, It's so
very hard to breathe
My lovely sister is laughing
at me, I cannot hear but I can see
Now she is kicking soil, into
my face
I swear I will return to haunt
her
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin
made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very
hard to breathe
My hands are turning blue while
my nails are turning to Red
The Spider's Lullabye
In a little cottage, in the
country side
Lives a man called Harry, and
he is losing his mind
Listen.......... Hear the spider's
lullabye
It's really sad for Harry, he
finds a spider scary
Even the smallest species, will
make him feel uneasy
Oh, they live in every corner
Oh, and here comes the summer
There's another spider on his
wall..... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
As he woke up this morning,
there was a spider crawling
He felt the big suprise, before
it caught his eyes
Oh, in between his face
Oh, and his pillow case
There's another spider on his
wall..... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
Here comes another one.....
Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha
He's got to find a doctor, a
very special doctor
Someone who can cure his mind
Someone who knows Harry's kind
Listen.......... Hear the spider's
lullabye
Those creepy crawly creatures
With all their hairy features
Hoping to catch a fly
Singing itss deadly lullabye
Oh..... Oh, NO..........
There's another spider on his
wall........ Gotta kill it!!!!
Eastmann's Cure
It was in the local paper: "We
will cure your every phobia
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
We will make you feel you're
right at home"
No more sleepless nights, no
more unpleasant sights
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice
a thing
It only took about a minute's
time
For poor old Harry to make up
his mind
So he headed for Devil Lake,
knowing doctors were awaiting
him
No more sleepless nights, no
more unpleasant sights
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice
a thing
HARRY:
"My name is Harry and I am from
the country side
I'm looking for a doctor, Eastmann
is the name"
Dr. EASTMANN:
"We welcome you with open arms
We've all been looking forward
to having you here
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You must always sign a special
paper first"
HARRY:
"I will sign anything, just
to get rid of my fears
I just want to live a life,
where do you want me to sign?"
Dr. EASTMANN:
"Right here on the dotted line
This will give me the freedom
I need for you
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You know we are the very best
at what we do... Oh Yes!"
Now that we have got his signature
I think it's time to start the
Eastmann cure
So put him in the straight
I think Room 17 is still our
whitest room
No more sleepless nights, no
more unpleasant sights
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice
a thing
Room 17
Room 17 was nice and cool, oh
yeah
A few stains on the wall
But that was nothing new to
Harry's head
Even though he was strapped
down to his bed, strapped down
Harry felt pretty good...
Knock, knock... Knock, knock,
Is anybody there
Room 17 was nice and cool, oh
yeah
But it didn't have the string
That would ring the nurse, it
wasn't there
Poor Harry, he had it coming,
Poor Harry
Now he didn't feel so good...
Here comes Doctor Eastmann and
Nursie Needle Dear
Look at what they got you...The
CRAWLY BOX
NURSE NEEDLE:
"Don't be such a baby, Harry
stop that now
The doctor's here to help you...
it's Eastmann time"
In room 17, everything is so
clean
In room 17, there is nothing
to be seen
Dr. EASTMANN:
"Black, brown, grey and hairy...
we've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary...
yeah we've got them all
I can hear it, the Spider's
Lullabye
I can feel it, the Spiders crawl
on by"
In room 17, everything is so
clean
In room 17, there is nothing
to be seen
Dr. EASTMANN:
"Nurse Needle it is time to
begin...
Nurse Needle, stick it in
A brown Lycosa's what I've got,
inside this box
I'm gonna let him out to see
just how you feel, when he's around
If you move too much he might
just bite you
But we'll just have to wait
and see about that...?"
Deep into the night, they were
testing him
So many different species, Harry
could not win
They forgot a grey one, she
was full of eggs
And she would find the warm
spot, back in Harry's neck
It's so moist and warm in here
Knock Knock... knock knock,
Is anybody there
HARRY:
"You forgot some spiders in
my room, yesterday
Now I've got this stunning pain
And my neck is feeling weird,
Oh I might die
Overnight some of your spiders
must have bit me
They were all over me"
Dr. EASTMANN:
"Oh Harry, don't be such a fool"
That same night Harry died
When they found him he was grey
and white
Black, brown, grey and hairy...
we've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary...
yeah we've got them all
I can hear it, the Spider's
Lullabye
I can feel it, the Spiders crawl
on by
In room 17, everything is so
clean
In room 17, there is nothing
to be seen
Take him to the morgue, Take
him to the morgue
To The Morgue
To the morgue... Take him to
the morgue
To the morgue... Take him to
the morgue
At... Devil Lake... Sanitarium,
many a patient had died in vain
Never a question to be asked,
no no, never a thing to explain
So they took his bones and skin
to the morgue in the West Wing
It was clear... to Dr. Eastmann
Harry had died of fright in
the night
If he had cared he would have
found the spider
Laying eggs in Harry's neck
The smoldering eyes... in Harry's
head
Had become the home... of spiders
instead
To the morgue... Take him to
the morgue
To the morgue... Take him to
the morgue
To the morgue... We must all
go to the morgue
To the morgue... We must all
go to the morgue
Deep down... below the ground
Where it was kind of cold and
damp
Too many stiffs to be fit in
the cooler
Gathering dust in the Hallways
of Death
The smoldering eyes... in Harry's
head
Had become the home... of spiders
instead
Spiders here... Spiders everywhere
Spiders feeding the dead to
their young
Spiders here... Spiders everywhere
Spiders using the dead for their
home
Spiders... they're growing like
rats from the plague
Spiders... there's so many more
everyday
Summer ___ is coming to an end
And the cellar in the morgue
is a nest now
One thousand poisonous creatures
Eight thousand poisonous legs
The smoldering eyes... in Harry's
head
Had become the home... of spiders
instead
To the morgue... We must all
go to the morgue............
BLACK HILL SANITARIUM
I have been in here for way
too long
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding
from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the
will
I have seen the sickness of
all mankind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding
from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the
will
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're
driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're
driving me crazy here
Gotta get out of here... Gotta
erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No
more silent tears
Gotta get out of here... No
more silent tears
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're
driving me crazy
I am going down, deep into the
black of my mind
I've had enough
Therapy in little rooms, I'm
lying down in my cocoon
Nothing here could end too soon,
I'm lying down
Oh God, I hate those men in
white
Oh, those men in white, sticking
needles in my mind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding
from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the
will
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're
driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're
driving me crazy here
Gotta get out of here... Gotta
erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No
more silent tears
WAITING
Just after midnight, they are
bringing me my pills
Just after midnight, lights
are out...at Black Hill
But they don't know me...they
don't know me at all
Tonight pills will be chills
will be kills
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take it anymore
If I don't take my medication,
they will all be here
But I think I fooled them, I
think...I'm in the clear
"Nursie" doesn't know...this
is her last night
She even brought the key, that's
gonna set me free
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take it anymore
Tonight I'm taking her instead
My hands are so much stronger
Than her isty-bitsy little head
Empty eyes are staring at the
wall
I cannot hear her breathing
anymore
I'm looking for the key in her
hand
That bluish little hand
Running through the empty halls
of this forgotten
place
Unlocking doors...that never
opens
But now I've got the key...the
key to freedom
And I'm unlocking doors that
never should be opened
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot
take it anymore
6,6,6 miles...I've been running
through the woods
6,6,6 miles...and now before
me, the cemetery gates
I climb the gate between life
and death
I walk upon the moonlit graves
I'm home
HEADS ON THE WALL
I'm in a cold and lonely tomb
Surrounded by darkness in my
newfound home
I'm not alone, anymore, alone,
anymore
I'm looking back at yesterday
I do remember my escape, and
what I had to do
Have to do, don't you see, don't
you see
Heads on the wall...I'm looking
at
Heads on the wall...dead yet
alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the
wall...heads
Did you know, if you die in
a graveyard
The soul can't escape if you
lose your head
But it lives on in the brain...in
your brain
Don't you see, don't you see
Heads on the wall...I'm looking
at
Heads on the wall...dead yet
alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the
wall
Last night, when I climbed the
cemetery gate
I saw a man digging in the ground
Working the late shift, it was
the gravedigger
Jeremiah had worked here for
years
Already had one foot in the
grave
With my help we got in the other
I can't believe...he wasn't
stronger
Mary the hooker was coming to
church
To let the reverend fill up
her purse
Jesse Bell, may his soul rest
in HELL
No one must find out, no one
must tell
Heads on the wall...I'm looking
at
Heads on the wall...dead yet
alive
Heads on the wall
And they're staring at me, and
me, and me
No one comes and leaves again
I've got to make sure no one
knows where I am
Especially THAT man...I remember
I can't get rid of those voices
WHISPERS
You've got to get his daughter,
daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter,
daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter,
daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter,
daughter, daughter
Lucy...
I'M NOT A STRANGER
I've been watching Lucy all
week
I've been watching her at school
I know her schedule, I know
it well
I know exactly when she's leaving
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
Such beautiful eyes you have,
such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years
of age,
am I right now?
As if I really care
Cause you're his daughter, his
little daughter
The one I'm supposed to have
hurt
But I could never, I could never
I could never hurt a little
girl like you
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
Such beautiful eyes you have,
such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years
of age
But who cares, 'cause you're
coming with me NOW!
Come on little girl...Why are
you making such a fuss
Come on little girl...come on
it is time
I've got real dolls on my wall,
I made them myself
And you can play with them and
play with them
And play with them
Until your Daddy comes to get
you
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
I I I I and you will soon be
home now

We we we we, we're gonna have
some fun
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard
DIGGING GRAVES
Lucy, you stay here...the tomb
is warm
Why don't you play with the
dolls...
The dolls on the wall
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind,
back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that
I am to blame...NO NO NO
Is it true what they say...little
girls don't cry
Is it true what they say...Lucy
look at me
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind,
back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that
I am to blame...NO NO NO
Into the night I go, and you
can't follow me
Into the night I go, and you
can't follow me
I will be your misery, I'm gonna
be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I
wish you well, in HELL
I'm digging graves, seven deadly
tombs
I'm digging graves, below that
crazy moon
I will be your misery, I'm gonna
be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I
wish you well, in HELL
McKenzie, how could you think
I'd forget
All graves done...I'm so clever
Seven headstones in all...saying
"Lucy Forever"
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind,
back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that
I am to blame...NO NO NO
Into the night I go, and you
can't follow me
Into the night I go, and you
can't follow me
I will be your misery, I'm gonna
be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I
wish you well, in HELL
I'm digging graves, seven deadly
tombs
I'm digging graves, below that
crazy moon
Into the night I go, and you
can't follow me...
MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT
Yesterday as I finished the
last of the seven graves
I went to call McKenzie
I woke him up in the middle
of the night
You should have heard me...SURPRISE!
Oh revenge is sweet
Up and awake, McKenzie knew
that I was still alive
And I have to tell you
He is the Mayor of this God
forsaken town
He's Lucy's father, the man
that brought me down
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me,
and I am
Meet me at midnight by the cemetery
gates
Meet me at midnight or your
Lucy will be dead
Revenge is sweet
Revenge is sweet, I know that
you agree
Call me sick in the head, but
I would never lie to you
I worked for the man
Mayor McKenzie is an old perverted
swine
I caught him one night, molesting
his own little child
Who do you think they all believed?
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me,
and I am
Meet me at midnight by the cemetery
gates
Meet me at midnight or your
Lucy will be dead
McKenzie did you hear me?...No
Lucy, she is fine
She's sleeping in her coffin
Can't wait to meet your face
again
He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me,
and I am
Meet me at midnight by the cemetery
gates
Meet me at midnight or your
Lucy will be dead
SLEEP TIGHT LITTLE BABY
Lucy...it's time for bed now,
and you need your rest
So lie down in your coffin dear,
and sleep tight
I'll wake you when Daddy's here,
alright?
No No don't...d-d-don't cry
little girl
Little girl from head to toe
Deep into the ground you go...down...DOWN!
Sleep tight little baby, sleep
tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere
to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy?
Sleep tight little baby, sleep
tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere
to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy?
And as I'm waiting by the cemetery
gates
For her father to show
Something's pounding at my head
It's like I...I, I can still
hear her SCREAMING
Oh Lucy, I'm doing all this
for you
Oh Lucy, I didn't mean to, I
didn't want to
But you've got to
Sleep tight little baby, sleep
tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere
to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy?
So you came at last ? Let me
see your heart
Let me see your face, you son
of a bitch
I see a baby crying, I see a
little tear
Oh yeah, I know you're trying
But you can't stop the fear...DADDY!
If you ever want to see your
little girl again
You better do as I say
Dear Mr. Mayor, welcome to my
humble tomb
Come inside, you know you have
to
DADDY
Oh Daddy...I'm so alone, Oh
Daddy...come home
Oh Daddy...I've missed you so
Oh Daddy...tell me what to do
Daddy don't look at me like
that
I didn't do it...HE did...It
was HIM
I could never...I could never
I wasn't even there
Daddy tell me what to do...Daddy...No
don't no
Oh Daddy, you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay
Oh...you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay
You're going down, you're going
down, McKenzie
Sit down you creep, you degenerate
son of a sheep
What am I to do you...with you?
You're going down, you're going
down, McKenzie
Sit down you creep, you degenerate
son of a sheep
What am I to do you...with you?
Sit down you creep, you degenerate
sheep
You're going down, you're going
down, McKenzie
TRICK OR TREAT
The only light inside this tomb
Is coming from so high above
us
Watching through a tiny window,
the moon is looking on
Down on your knees, down if
you please
While I blindfold your eyes
The two of us are gonna play
a little game
I think that I will call it
Trick or treat, let us go hide
and seek
Follow me into the night
Where the sun don't shine but
the moon is bright
Lucy is sleeping...in one of
seven graves
Now you decide, which ones are
trick or treat
Trick or treat, let us go hide
and seek
I can only let you fail this
twice
The third time you must be right
Lucy is sleeping...in one of
seven graves
Now you decide, which ones are
trick or treat
You better start digging
She could be dying while we
speak
You better start digging
Before the worms have their
feast
How does it feel, to be digging
for someone you love
How does it feel...to be digging
for LOVE ?
Ohhhhh No No No, you failed
again
That's not Lucy...that's someone
else you've got
You blindfolded creep
I'm beginning to get the feel
that you're
Digging your own grave
Lucy is sleeping...in one of
seven graves
Only one left chance, to save
your daughter
You better start digging
She could be dying while we
speak
You better start digging
Before the worms have their
feast
The only light inside this graveyard
Is coming from so high above
us
Watching from the blackened
sky,
the moon is looking on
Down on your knees, dig if you
please
While I blindfold your brain
One blow to the back of the
head and
He is face down, down in Lucy's
grave
Lucy is sleeping...in one of
seven graves
Her Daddy won...but I am winning
now
I'm dragging him back, back
to the tomb
I'm dragging him back, and I'm
tying him down
UP FROM THE GRAVE
As I look him deep in the eyes...I
see only darkness
I must have knocked him out...good
I kind of like that...I must
go
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again
La-La-La......I'm digging for
Lucy dear
La-La-La......I've had it up
to here
Lucy Lucy I am here, Lucy Lucy
don't you fear
I will get you out of there,
so you can breathe again
You can't sleep forever...dear
Come to DADDY
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again
La-La-La......Tell me what you
see
La-La-La......Tell me how it
makes you feel
When I sing so nice-ly to you
Lu-u-cy
I AM
Back...in the tomb, Lucy is
sitting on the floor
I...am, I am standind by the
door
The door to freedom...the door
that I shut so close
And as I take another look at
my mind
I seem to think the sun has
arrived...No
McKenzie you better realize,
now it's just you and I
Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold
floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere
to go for Mr. Mayor
The door to freedom...the door
that I shut so close
And as I take another look at
my mind
I seem to think the sun has
arrived
This court is now in session
You stand accused of child abuse
Of stealing innocence and freedom
too
I am the only Judge, I am the
only Jury
I am your lawyer too, so tell
me what to do
What's it gonna be?
Are you guilty or are you GUILTY!!!
Yes, you just go ahead and cry
Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold
floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere
to go for Mr. Mayor
The door to freedom...the door
that I shut so close
And as I take another look at
my mind
I seem to think the sun has
arrived
But Oh No...There is no sun
here
There's only darkness... ...
...
I, the Jury and the Judge
Find you guilty of stealing
the innocence of a child
And therefore we sentence you
to die slowly, die
Die die die die die die die.....
LUCY FOREVER
I leave it up me me girl, You
tell me when and I'll act
By the first light of dawn,
Daddy will be on his way
By the first light of dawn,
No more Daddy, I say
I leave it up to me girl
You tell me when and I'll make
him disappear
I can feel...the sun will soon
be here
Get away from that string my
dear
What do you think you're doing
Lucy
Too late, I should have seen
it coming my way
Glass from the broken window,
oh so high above
Heading straight for my neck
By the first light of dawn,
my body lost its head
By the first light of dawn,
Oh God...I'm dead
I feel...my soul is, creeping...up
into my brain
I guess I would be scared, if
I weren't already dead
But my blackened heart has told
me
No one really cares anyway
Lucy, what are you doing now,
do not set him free girl
Lucy, what are you doing now
You better take a listen to
my head
Did you hear what it said
The view is so very strange,
so strange from here
Facing the floor is hard, when
you're nothing but a ball
How could the mayor win, and
I become one of THEM
I'm just a head on the floor
My body is over there, but I
am still right here
Lucy...come back to me
Lucy...you cannot leave me like
this
Lucy, I hear your little feet
coming my way
Pick me up and let us head for
home
But not a word to Daddy
So she puts me in her backpack
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy
forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy
forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy
forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy
forever
Ever...ever...ever...ever...ever...ever
"LOA" House
1932, North of Baton Rouge
Louisiana nights are darker
than before
Along the Mississippi, that
is where it is
The old colonial house, a mansion
if you will
White as snow, the mansion still
seems to have its glow
And when the moon is full and
white
You can hear the drums of voodoo
echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will
strike again
Jean Le Noir, the first to own
this house
He was a voodoo priest, a Houngan
so they say
The voodoo cemetery, that is
where he is
Died at the hand of an evil
Bocor’s will
They say..., he's been walking
the house ever since that day
And when the moon is full and
white
You can hear the drums of voodoo
echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will
strike again
solos: Andy-Herb
They never should have come,
no no no
They never should have come
to the "LOA" house
They never should have come,
no no no
They never should have come
to the "LOA" house
7 days ago... the Lafayetted
moved in
Sarah is with child and David
is the man
This is no Abigail, this child
will survive
And Grandfather dear, why did
they bring him here?
White as snow, that is all he
sees, oh he's been blind for years
solo: Andy
They never should have come,
no no no
They never should have come
to the "LOA" house
They never should have come,
no no no
They never should have come
to the "LOA" house
And when the moon is full and
white
You can hear the drums of voodoo
echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will
strike again
In the "LOA" house, misery will
strike again
And again...and again...and
again... and again...
Life After Death
Friday night
Four shadows heading for the
dark
Four shadows heading for the
past
Four shadows heading for the
graves in the wooded maze
Four shadows looking for the
place without a trace
Midnight and they're here, midnight
The old burial ground..is part
of the estate
Hidden by the heavy trees..where
Jean Le Noir he sleeps
The shadows move
They're hare to feed the dead..the
shadows move
'Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
There is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Oh it must never end..never
end..no
solo: Herb
Midnight and they're here, midnight
Doctor Le Croix, he's a voodoo
sorcerer
Madame Sarita, she's got the
snake in her
And Lula Chevalier, she's the
girl that no one ever sees
Salem the servant, he belongs
to the estate
The shadows move
They're here to feed the dead..the
shadows move
solo: Andy
The Lafayettes are unaware..their
butler Salem, he is here
Voodoo has been his life..Voodoo
cuts deep like a knife
The shadows move
They're here to feed the dead..the
shadows move
'Cause there is Life after death
Be patient and you will see
There is life after death
Be patient and you will 8ee
Oh it must never end..never
end
Midnight and they're here, midnight
Midnight..... Life after
death.....
Voodoo
Saturday evening
A narrow path runs along the
river
From the burial ground you might
see it
Leading to a temple of secrets
Where they meet once a week..to
dance and feast
Lula is dancing to the voodoo
drums
Twisting, turning, round and
round
She is ready to receive the
LOA
She is ready for the God
This one is Damballah
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
oodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Total emptiness inside
As Damballah gets ready for
her ride
Casting out from Lula's head
One of two souls that seems
to be dead
Travelling deep in a trance
Lula's legs are getting weak
The LOA has seized its horse"...sssssss
solo: Dime
Lula is not the one that's speaking
now
Lula is not the one that's lying
down
Drink, drink girl, drink the
chicken's blood
Drink, drink girl, drink and
feed the God
lf this is all you think they
do, oh you better think again
'Cause there is so much more
to voodoo, oh than meets the eye
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Human hair on waxen dolls, pins
through their knees
Pins through their little heads,
and through their bellies
Ahh they're coming to get you,
they're coming for you
Ahh they're coming to get you,
they're coming for you now
solo: Andy
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo... Voodoo...
A Secret
Sunday noon
In the "Loa" mansion the Lafayettes
are meeting
There's a crisis they must resolve
Twice since they moved into
this house
The Voodoo drums have spoken
at night
The mansion is a dark and gloomy
place
A haunted landscape, a house
without grace
The Voodoo burial ground is
the key
Get rid of that and they're
free
It must remain a secret, or
the plan will never work
It must remain a secret
In comes Salem, he's 6 feet
tall and dark
He is the new found butler of
the "Loa' house
They ask him for advice regarding
their plan
To destroy the cemetery on their
land
It must remain a secret, or
the plan will never work
It must remain a secret
We must do what must be done
solo: Andy
lf you steal the grave from
one who sleeps
He will come for you to set
him free
You must not break the chain
Salem: "Jean Le Noir’s spirit
walks this house at night
Never will he leave, cause this
is where he died
Great Wanga will hit you if
you do
Destroy the cemetery of Voodoo"
It must remain a secret, or
the plan will never work
It must remain a secret
Superstitious we are not
Salem
Saturday midnight
At midnight that same night,
the Lafayettes were sleeping
At midnight that same night,
there is a shadow creeping
Salem is moving without a sound
Salern is moving ... moving,
moving to the burial ground
So hot and so quiet, only the
leaves are shaking
By one of the graves, Doctor
Le Croix is waiting
Salem is moving without a sound
Salem is moving ... moving,
moving to the burial ground
Doctor Le Croix, shaking the
hand of Salem
My my my my my God, Salem tell
me the secret
My my my my my God, this makes
me feel uneasy
In shock...Le Croix is terrified,
this could be the end
Fear turns to hate, "Great Wanga
will befall the Lafayettes
Salem, help me, save us ...
Salem, help me, save us
By turning them to dust
So take this money and off you
go
To Madame Sarita's Boutique
of Voodoo
A snake curse and a little 'Goofer
Dust'
You Salem will be the link between
them and us
This could be an easy way to
turn the Lafayettes to dead"
solo: Andy
Two hours later, Salem leaves
Madame Sarita
My my my my my God, Salem is
looking scary
My my my my my God, now he's
heading for the cemetery
solo: Herb
Kneeling in front of one of
the graves
A handful of soil and Salem
is on his way
He must leave a copper penny
as payment for the soil
And to protect himself
From all the spirits that could
come and dig themselves
lnto his head ... Dead ... Dead
... Dead ... Salem is here
By the house, in the dark, there
is a shadow digging
The snake in the bottle, is
buried and it's ready
Salem is moving without a sound
Everyone's sleeping, but me
'cause l don't need it..No
One Down Two To Go
Monday morning
The sun has risen, just above
the trees
The birds are singing, it's
just like a dream
What a perfect morning it...could
have been
Salem's in the kitchen, and
that's a sin
Eggs for three and a little
tea
Mixed with the graveyard dirt...from
yesterday
solo: Herb
Anybody eating Salem's "A la
carte" today
Should be taken ill and...waste
away
(Salem thinking to himself)
"You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
Die, both of you ... are gonna
die
Die, die, both of you..are gonna
die, die ... die"
solo: Andy
Salem’s walking up the stairs
to the second floor
Silver tray in hand ... knocking
at the door
(Salem thinking to himself)
"You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
Die, both of you..are gonna
die
Die, die, both of you..are gonna
die"
In a fever, sick as Hell
David's got a snake bite..and
all is well
Salem thinks to himself:
One down, two to go, "Oh Madame
he's got the flu"
One down, two to go, "Oh Madame
he’s got the flu"
The problem is that Sarah's
morning sick again
That pregnant woman, always
something wrong
You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
You used to be so beautiful,
but now you're gonna die
Die..Sarah die, Sarah die
Die, die ... Sarah die, Sarah
die
Sending of Dead
Monday evening
Evening, the sun is setting,
silence is all you hear
David, getting really sick he
is sweating like a pig
The fever's got him now
And Sarah's father dear, the
morning snack has put him on his
back
He should have stayed in bed
... oh why didn't he?
... The sun is setting, silence
is all you hear
Sarah: "Salem, what's going
on?"
Salem, "Let me tell you a story
Madame, a secret about your
land
The reason ... for all this
madness
Let me tell you a story Madame,
the burial ground on your land
Is a secret voodoo stand
If you ever destroy this sacred
place
Legend says that you will die,
and never find your rest
I'm telling the truth..Oh yes
l am
lf the living can't feed the
dead, then the dead will come for you
Yeah
Sarah, 'You better hold your
tongue now Salem
'Cause l don't believe in ghosts"
There is only one thing left
to do now
And that is "Sending Of Dead"
The four shadows are meeting
again
At the cemetery gates, darkness
is a friend
Midnight will soon be here
Everything should be ready by
now ... for "Sending Of Dead"
solo: Andy
Place the image of Saint Expedit
Upside down and around
I hear Doctor Le Croix speaking
"Let the ritual begin"
"Almighty God, father of mine,
come for Sarah Lafayette
That she may be "Disappeared',
forever lost
Saint Expedit, you are a saint
and I'm a sinner
l send you to find...Sarah Lafayette
Oh, rid me of her head and rid
me of her soul
Rid me of all her thoughts,
rid me of her memory
For this curse to work, Baron
Samedi, Samedi, Samedi
Send your blessing, so Sarah
may be gone"
solo: Herb
As if he was sent from the sky,
Baron Samedi creeps inside
The Doctor’s body..speaking
to Salem
Samedi: "You must bring me a
sacrifice
You must come back before midnight
Kneel before my cross"...Salem
is there
He takes a handful of soil from
each grave
Of the dead he wants to send..into
Sarah
Now quick quick run back to
the HOUSE
The soil must lie where Sarah
sleeps
Sarah's Night
Monday night - Tuesday morning,
master bedroom
Salem's standing in the dark
Watching Sarah's sleeping body
Someone is in her bed
Twisting, turning in his fever
David will not even see her
l am invisible..I am the one
to bring you down
I open up my hand, the "Goofer
Dust" is falling
It's now on Sarah's hand
You can almost see the dead,
as they enter Sarah's head
Then deep into her stomach,
l wonder how the baby feels
Violently she's sitting up
Screams of pain l know she's
hurting
l only see the white in her
eyes
solo: Andy
Sarah speaks in unknown tongue
Then she spits a little blood
Time has come, I must be gone
In comes Grandpa, what is he
doing
l thought l had him not moving
But the dead in Sarah's head,
will take her to an early grave
Salem is gone
Grandpa: "Go back to sleep my
dear
lt's just another nightmare
Those God damn voodoo drums
l will stay in here tonight,
and keep an open eye
So you can sleep again...
Sarah sleep...Sarah sleep...Sarah
sleep...
The Exorcist
Tuesday morning
At the light of dawn, on a day
without
Sunshine...Salem had vanished
Gone, would Sarah, would she
survive
Grandpa was panicking
Father Malone, The Exorcist
... Father Malone, The Exorcist
Sarah's voice had changed, from
female to
Male... and that was wrong,
it was as if Sarah
Had gone, Grandpa remembered
his friend
Father Malone was the name
solo: Andy
Grandpa: "Put me through to
New Orleans
The Abbey of the Holy Saints
Father Malone please...it's
urgent
You got to, you got to, you
got to put me through"
It only took a minute or two,
before the Father he understood
Father Malone: "Listen here
my friend, do not despair
l will be there...this afternoon
But beware...of the Daytime
Moon"
solo: Herb
Father Malone, The Exorcist...Father
Malone, he is here
Father Malone: 'Holy Cross and
Bible
Holy Water for the soul
And so the house I bless, but
David he’s go to
Go, call for an ambulance before
the others know
Then he went back to Sarah’s
room
Unclean Spirits
Tuesday early morning
Father Malone: "Holy Lord, Almighty
Father
Everlasting God and father of
our Lord Jesus Christ
Who sent your only begotten
son into the world
To crush that lion
Strike terror Lord, into the
Beast
Let your mighty hand cast him
out of your servant
Sarah Lafayette
So he may no longer hold captive
this prisoner
I cast you out, you unclean
spirit
In the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ
It is he who commands you
It is God himself who commands
you
By this sign of the Holy Cross
Give way to Christ
The power of Christ compels
you
The power of Christ compels
you
The power..... the power .....
Cross Of Baron Samedi
Tuesday evening
One single hour, is like a working
day
Father Malone is getting tired
Darkness... has come again
The Demons seem to be resting
Sarah is looking just like Hell
There ain't much left of her
to save now
Meanwhile in Salem's quarters
There's a shadow that moves
Into a room full of secrets
of life
lnto a room only few have survived
There is a cross upon the wall
The cross of Baron Samedi
The shadow is taking the cross
away
The shadow is Lula, the girl
that no one ever sees
l see her shadow with that cross
of mine
l see her shadow slipping into
the night
The cross of Baron Samedi will
set us free
The cross of Baron Samedi, just
wait and see
solo: Herb
The cross of Baron Samedi is
full of nails
The cross of Baron Sarmedi could
split your head
Take it to Sarah... Take it
to Sarah...Sarah
Darkness... she’s up again
Sarah is standing in front of
Father Malone
Sleeping..the Father's on a
chair
Sarah is saying: "Father, I’m
about to sin"
Then one to the Father's head
The cross is coming down so
hard
Screaming, bleeding, Malone
goes down
Again and..again and..his blood
is all around
solo: Andy
In comes Grandpa: "Stop it Sarah
stop"
l don't know why, but Sarah
dropped the cross
Two hours later everyone was
here
Police and ambulance, wiping
up the tears
solo: Herb
Samedi...Samedi...Samedi
If They Only Knew
Tuesday night-Monday morning
I heard a policeman say to Grandpa:
"There once was a Salem, the
caretaker of the "LOA" house
But he died years ago.
As a matter of fact, he's buried
right here on your land".
lf they only knew.
Aftermath
The "LOA" house and the old
voodoo burial ground
Are still standing in all their
glory.
The Lafayettes left the hospital
and Louisiana
And went to ... l don't care.
Malone survived. He’s
a scared old man now,
By the way, my name is Salem.
You cannot say, that everybody's
happy,
But you can say, that everybody
is now
Safe from each other.
At least l thought so, until
a few days ago
When I heard of some mother
By the name of Sarah
Lafayette
Who's newborn baby was speaking
in the strangest tongue
Backwards.
A miracle?
Some expert had uttered the
word:
VOODOO
