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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 !!! |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

The storm was gone, but dark clouds still hung around
The perfect setting for things to come, late afternoon She was still in bed after her visit to the crypt Someone was calling Henry's name Or was it only in her dream? A dream of breaking glass, glass cutting into flesh Rain turning red, blood running for the dead [Solo: Andy] Again she heard a name... it was louder, but the same Jonathan was fighting his way out of bed [J:] "Where is Brandon Henry and why is he late?" [A:] "He didn't feel very well today So I sent him back to bed and there he'll stay But I, my dear, will cater to your needs For you I will be the hand, the hand that feeds" Abigail obsessed with her revenge Her old spirit was back It made her remember her dream of broken glass "Use it in your scheme, the broken glass" [Solo: Mike] Broken glass crushed into sugar glace Making dinner for Jonathan, Abigail was having fun Would it be romantic dinner or slaughter of the lamb? Would broken glass be cutting deep, deep into the flesh of a man? Dinner was enjoyed by candlelight And Jonathan was wearing his Funeral suit, it put him in the right mood Whatever it took, he would do [Outro solos: Andy] He was in love... he was in love again He was in love... he was in love again But Abigail would soon feed his love away Feed his love away "Dinner is served" |

"Mommy... mommy... mommy... mommy"
[Solo: Mike] Later that Night in her Room,Abigail was drifting off to sleep. All of what she had seen Today, was hard to believe. Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain Then the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy And that's a shame Abigail was quickly on her feet Down the stairs and into the dark, Abigail was following the sound And there she was: THE CHILD It was clearly a ghost... the ghost from the gate in the storm "Little girl, tell me who you are?" "I am your spirit twin from years ago, I'm LITTLE ONE" That brought back memories of Abigail when turning six Sneaking out of bed, like she always did [Solo: Andy] Hiding in the dark, listening to the men Tell their stories from way back then She remembered the story of Jonathan And they'd been talking about the Little One [Solo: Mike] Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain Then the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy And that's a shame Abigail she knew she had to stay Saving Little One and breaking the chain... breaking the chain |

Mansion in Sorrow, mansion in the dark
Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark The gates were locked from the inside And Abigail was sure to die Then Little One went straight through her body And the gates, they opened wide And Little One went up the stairs to the old oak door Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark Lightning was striking the trees all around Abigail still in shock, awoken by the sound Run better run, run better run after Little One Run better run, run after Little One But Little One had gone, gone to the beyond Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark Suddenly the door was open, "Where have you been my dear? I'm Brandon Henry and I serve the master here" Through a maze of gloomy hallways and candles black Safe from the storm she followed the man with the shaved head They went in... in to a room... that was like a shrine Jewelry and dresses too... in cabinets made of glass Portraits on the walls, 18 in all A strong scent of old perfume, and then there was THE HAIR Long... black... lifeless hair |

Curtain of black were inside the room
Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes There was nothing bright in the entire mansion, no..no Except for the candlelight...the light...and the fire that burned real slow Oh Miriam...why did you have to go and die? Curtains of black were inside the room Abigail was not alone, there was someone else in here too Come closer my dear said the shadow in the wheelchair Stand by the fireplace so I can better see your face Oh Miriam...why did you have to go and die? The shadow could not believe the likeness in her face It looked as if Miriam had come back from the grave I am Count De La Fey and you are Abigail she whispered and she shivered to the bone Can I.. he said Can I call you Miriam? Miriam or Abigail is fine You can even call me Lucy for it is just a name He struggled out of the wheelchair Since his fall many years ago Now he could only walk by a cane, what a shame Don't move, stay where you are and then he was right behind her Touching her long black hair, he was breathing much harder now Then he grabbed her head In pain she screamed as he Yanked out a lock of that beautiful hair, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear He quickly struggled across the floor to another cabinet Behind the glass doors it said: To My Beloved Dear It was then he started to compare, and she saw the other hair In his twisted mind she was back but why? I must retire my dear in order to prepare You should do the same, tomorrow an heir |

You could see the fire burn, you could see the colours turn
From black to no return The night began to cry, rain from the sky As the mansion died Oh no... it died... oh no... it died Deep down below, fire would not go The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries I wonder what is wrong It's so damp... and cold... in here, could this be the home of fear There's something in the dark, that should be left alone As if it had a grave of it's own (Solo: Mike) There's a body on the floor, I hope there is no more I think I'm stepping in blood Too dark for me to see, a dark you only feel Dark that always must be I see a child... now I'm blind... where did she go? Oh no Deep down below, fire would not go The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries Where did she go? She must have slipped into the dark again Not too far away, I see a light And there is Little One, standing by the wall The lantern in her hand is lighting up the coffin on the stand Oh... I used to know your sister, your eternal spirit twin Oh but Abigail was way too busy with revenge And now you're stuck in here on your own A lonely soul who'll never ever find a home Oh No She cannot find her mommy, cause mommy's in the floor And she doesn't even know... who her mother really is... oh no (Solo |

Jonathan is dead
And Abigail is watching his wheelchair burn The flames lick the wooden floor Spreading to the curtains, and then the draperies on the wall Higher and higher they go "I am the fire... I'm eating everything I'll bring this mansion down, through me they all must come" Spirits flying through the air Spirits crossing over to the other side To rest in peace and never die again And to be with long gone friends The ghosts of those who lived here in the past They will use the flames to leave this EVIL house Abigail is watching the spirits and the flames Dancing hand in hand around her long black dress Oh around and around they go, until they touch Abigail is on fire (Solo: Mike) Spirits flying through the air Spirits crossing over to the other side To rest in peace and never die again And to be with long gone friends (Solo: Andy) There is no pain as Abigail is eaten by the flames Her body starts to fade, emptiness is growing inside Slowly she's leaving her body behind And the spirits are right by her side (Solo: Andy) Oh no here she goes, her spirit is in the air The others guide her to the flames where they all will disappear Spirits flying through the air Spirits crossing over to the other side To rest in peace and never die again And to be with long gone friends (Theme: Andy |

The moon is outside but it can't get in
Almost dead from his nightly sin Jonathan is deep asleep, a perfect time... to visit the heep Down the halllway to the lair, down down the slippery stairs Abigail is in the crypt, a lantern in her hand The secret of the crypt A coffing made for a child, wondering who is inside Oh Abigail... and off comes the lid The smell is sick Mummified infront on its side A name was cut deep in the lid with a knife And it said: Abigail [Solo: Andy] A silvery necklace was round the mummy's neck It had wings and was sharpened round the edge "What are you doing here", Henry had come in unseen Abigail pulled on the necklace and the little mummy's head Was separated clean from it's tiny neck Then up up up, up into his throat Twisting and turning it, oh she couldn't stop Brandon Henry was going down in a pool of blood He was on the ground [Solo: Mike] There's an eerie glow in the crypt down below Mummified infant on its side "Gotta go... gotta run... I'll be back for you Little One" In the crypt Abigail's twin is searching for a home Abigail's twin is searching for her Mom But Mommy's in the floor and it's made of stone Her mommy's in the floor and she doesn't know Oh she doesn't know, she doesn't know Will she ever know......... |

18 was yesterday today she was
A woman in every single way Abigail was wathing in the forest where The darkness, it seems to be alive It was hours ago that she left her home The chapel in which Black Horsemen saved and raised her soul And now in the darkest night a storm was born And Abigail, she did not know... she was its prey [Solo: Andy] In the storm itself a monster came alive Chasing Abigail, lightning from the sky Ah... then her face turned white Never did she see the EYE, that cried Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain... rain... rain Turning red "Oh no" ... "Let me go back to my home" ... "Oh no" ... "Oh..." [Solo: Mike] God he looked away the night the storm it came And Abigail was drawn into the rain Rain... was pulling on her hair To where there is a mansion... THE LAIR Lurking in the dark when lightning struck again The mansion showed itself... in silhouette [Solo: Mike] Ah... rusty iron gates This is where the Little One she waits Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain... rain... rain... Turning red "Oh no" ... "Let me go back to my home" ... "Oh no" ... "Oh" Seeing the little one... knowing that she was a ghost... Abigail wondering why she was Mummified... a lantern in her hand And in the light she saw a name: Cound de La Fey |
