(Music and lyrics by Kind Diamond)
I don¹t know if I¹m dead or alive All I know is I¹m running out of time Oh, I¹m leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me From the other side, looking down It¹s 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 it¹s me From the other side, looking down It¹s the devil I see Solo : La Rocque I see the strangest faces Faces that I¹ve never seen before They see through empty spaces Spaces that do not exist no more I swear by the moon and the devil I¹ll be their guardian if they will be mine There¹s a demon with red glowing eyes He¹s invading the body that was mine Oh, Is there still time ... Oh, Time to return From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me From the other side, looking down it¹s the devil I see I guess I wasn¹t ready yet Rcause someone there is calling me back from the dead Demon, demon, are you there Demon, demon, leave my lair Solo : La Rocque From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me From the other side, looking down it¹s the devil I see WAKE UP !!! |

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 |

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 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 I will be there...this afternoon But beware...of the Daytime Moon" 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 got to Go, call for an ambulance before the others know" Then he went back to Sarah's room |

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 night, No more unpleasant sight 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 doctores were awaiting him No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight 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, Eastman is his 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 night, No more unpleasant sight We can recreate paradise And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing |

Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down
No one to share with, no one to care with The only light in my life Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind As I'm sitting through the night I'm so cold and dark inside Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed I am no longer living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen Must we have the other side, just to feel alive? Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine I try to remember, all that once was mine I don't know what tomorrow will bring But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine? How come I suffer in mine? The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day That's when I left this sick old world behind Oh how love can make you blind |

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 shadow that moves Into a room full of secrets of life Into 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 I see her shadow with that cross mine I 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 The cross of Baron Samedi is full of nails The cross of Baron Samedi 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 In comes Grandpa: "Stop it Sarah stop" I don't know why, but Sarah dropped the cross Two hours later everyone was here Police and ambulance, wiping up the tears Samedi... Samedi... Samedi |

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 |

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 sin Eggs for three and a little tea Mixed with the graveyard dirt...from yesterday Anybody cating 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 Die, die, both of you...are gonna die, die...die" 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 Die, die, both of you... are gonna die, die...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" 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 Die... Sarah die, Sarah die Die, die... Sarah die, Sarah die |

Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul
Cryptic messages written on the floor Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die I see shadows walking straight and tall I don't know how they move, dancing on the walls Presence of fear, a presence so near I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die? I see a light, I push some bones aside Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow Could this be a doorway to another world? Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind? The virgin mary is standing tall A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall Her face is peeling from all the years gone by Is it just a statue, or is it what I'm looking for? I break her face and see another one instead The mummy's face appears as the bandages they fall Dried out face with hate upon me gaze How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns From the empty sockets where it's eyes should be An entity of light is pouring out towards me And then the sound... jesus christ,what have they done to you? I'm running for my life, I'm running from the night But it's so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much Satan help me, help me god Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear Cold winds from far beyond the dark Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die? I know I'm here to die |

(Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond)
My family just couldn¹t wait, I should have seen it coming What a nice conspiracy, what a nice surprise But now it¹s all too late I am six feet under, It¹s 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 They¹re standing all around my grave Six feet under, I¹m in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, It¹s so very hard to breathe Solo : La Rocque Six feet under, I¹m in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, It¹s so very hard to breathe My hands are turning blue while my nails are turning to Red Solo : Simonsen Looking up into faces of greed I¹m sweating cold and white with fear Sinister smiles ... upon their lips One of them is waving me goodbye I am six feet under, It¹s 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, I¹m in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, It¹s so very hard to breathe My face is turning blue while my eyes are turning to Red |

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 it's 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...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 |

I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side
My horse was getting tired... and so was i Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled The trees were so much higher than they were meant to In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before But now it seemed so different, the road was no more I was lost, I stopped and looked around I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it wasn not that crazy moon above Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes Watching me The trees have eyes, watching me Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones One wolf grown to a dozen, and here I was alone Yellow eyes... they were everywhere... yellow eyes... as I prepared to Die Suddenly there she was, in a halo of light Suddenly there she was, silvery black and white The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above Oh no,,, I could feel the trees have eyes |
