LYRICS
"Fatal Portrait"
The Candle
From "The Book of Jonah"
"7 Years Have Gone, It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
The Candle Must Be Burn Again, And Pain
Must Follow the Unholy Flame
So Burn...Burn...Burn
And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"
Here I AM Blinded Again By That Flame
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth, What Shall I Do
Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why
The Jonah...The Jonah
In Twisted Key She Speaks A Word To Me And Then I See
Her Face Falling Apart
The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded
 

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
 

Charon
Welcome My Friend, My Name Is Charon
Please Take My Hand, I Know The Secret Land
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
Waste No Time, Soon The Night Will Break Away
That Boy Can Wait, There's Only Room For One
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
I Am Your Death
We Must Leave Now, My Boat Is Waiting
On The Other Shore Is The Land Of The Dead
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
 

Lurking In The Dark
When Nightfall Comes Around And The Light Of Day Is Gone
The Dark Closes In As The Last Candle Burns Out
It's Time To Send Off Your Mind On A Trip
Into The Land Of Dreams And Mist
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark
Heavy Breathing But Nobody's There
If That's What You Think You'd Better Beware
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark, Watching You
How Does It Feel To Be Alone In The Dark
How Do You Know They Won't Do Any Harm
They Can See You But You're Oh So Blind
Maybe It Only Appears In Your Mind
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark, You'll See
 

Halloween
Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Begun
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Halloween...Halloween...
 

Haunted
Stay Away, Molly's Soul Keeps Returning
Every Night To The Attic Shrine
Never Alone, Living Dolls Out Of Nowhere
Crying Out: "Mommy Why"
The House Is Forver Haunted
Nothing You Can Do
Molly Is Living There With Her Dolls
And They Are ALive...Wait And See
Stay Away, Mrs. Jane, Molly's Mother
Slowly Went...Insane
The House Is Forver Haunted
Nothing You Can Do
Molly Is Living There With Her Dolls
And They Are Alive...Wait And See
"Mommy...Mommy..."
I'll Destroy You
 

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

" Abigail "
Funeral
"We are gathered here tonight,
to lay to rest Abigail la Fey,
whom we now know was first born dead
on the seventh day of July, 1777.
Abigail must be nailed to her coffin with seven silver spikes,
one through each arm, hand, and knee,
and let the last of the seven be drawn through her mouth
so that she may never arise and cause evil again.
Who will be the first?"
"I, O'Brian of the Black Horsemen...."
 

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....

" Them "
To whom it may concern
I am scared to death. 9 years ago they finally let me out, and I
was just beginning to feel better. I am not Myself any longer.
I guess You could not even recognize My face if You saw Me
now.
That phone call 2 hours ago has torn Me apart. It was Grandma.
She invited Me back to the old house. I do not want to go back,
but I must. Maybe You will understand My fear if I tell
You what happened during My childhood.
18 years ago I was living with My mother and
My sister Missy in Grandma's old house. I had
been told that Grandma was away on a long vacation,
and that she would soon return. She did.
I have later found out that she was actually being released
from that same asylum. "She's insane", they said, when she
kept on babbling about "THEM". I still cannot make up
My mind about who really did separate Grandpa's head
from his shoulders. You see, "THEY" were always so
nice to Me.
Anyway, time is short and I must leave for the old
house. So here is what happened 18 years ago. And
in case we never see each other again, at least You
will know why.
I bet we are going to have tea.
K.D. 3-12-87
 

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 . . . ."

" Conspiracy "
To whom it may concern.
   I am scared to death. 9 years ago they finally let me out, and I
was just beginning to feel better. I am not Myself any longer.
I guess You could not even recognize My face if You saw Me
now.
That phone call 2 hours ago has torn Me apart. It was Grandma.
She invited Me back to the old house. I do not want to go back,
but I must. Maybe You will understand My fear if I tell
You what happened during My childhood.
   18 years ago I was living with My mother and
My sister Missy in Grandma's old house. I had
been told that Grandma was away on a long vacation,
and that she would soon return. She did.

My mind about who really did separate Grandpa's head
from his shoulders. You see, "THEY" were always so

   Anyway, time is short and I must leave for the old
house. So here is what happened 18 years ago. And
in case we never see each other again, at least You
will know why.
   I bet we are going to have tea.

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 Eye "
 
EYE OF THE WITCH
It's so cold inside on this summer's night
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
I am no more the same, that special night has come again
Losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
Another glass of wine to heat the blood of mine
And as I look inside the necklace called "The Eye"
I'm going back in time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
 

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

" The Spider's Lullabye"
From The Other Side
I don't know if I'm dead or alive
All I know is I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
Someone down there is saving my life
I see a tear being shed by THE EYE
Oh, drifting much higher... Oh, into the light
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
I see the strangest faces
Faces that I've never seen before
They see through empty spaces
Spaces that do not exist no more
I swear by the moon and the devil
I'll be their guardian if they will be mine
There's a demon with red glowing eyes
He's invading the body that was mine
Oh, Is there still time... Oh, Time to return
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
I guess I wasn't ready yet
'cause someone there is calling me back from the dead
Demon, demon, are you there
Demon, demon, leave my lair
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
WAKE UP!!!
 

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............

" The Graveyard "
 
THE GRAVEYARD
Where am I? What am I doing here?
In this God forsaken graveyard
Yeah...that's what I'm doing...I remember now
This is my new home
And they will never find me here............
 
 

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
I I I I and you are gonna play then
I I I I and you you you you
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

" Voodoo "
Louisiana Darkness
Sarah Lafayette is sleeping, her husband is awake
This summer’s night is too hot
Feels like his majesty was here
Can you hear the voodoo drums
They’re howling at the moon
Voodoo..voodoo..voodoo
 

"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
