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

So there they stood at the top of the stairs
Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star
For a second he turned his back
And she was there like a ghost
She 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
The 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 7 Horsemen would arrive before the dawn
Servants of the count, when Abigail was born the first time

[SOLO: Andy]

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

[SOLO: Mike]

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.

Help... help... can anybody help me now?
Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive
I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all I have
I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
Help... help... can anybody help me now?
Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall
I see misery take another hold of me
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me
Be it God or Satan, whoever you are
You're hiding in the shadows
You cursed me with the Devil's mark
I'm hanging to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me
Help... help... I'm slowly going mad
Help... help... emptiness is all I have
I smash the mirrors... the mirrors on the wall
I have to smash them all before they crush my soul
Help... blood... I'm bleeding now, Help... I'm bleeding bad
I'm bleeding on the floor
Help... help...
I can't take this anymore

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...

Instrumental

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, they're 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, there're 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 Lullaby is all they can sing
As they inject thier poison into my brain
Oh yeah, they're calling my name

Dreams in the night, they're 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, they're 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...

[Diamond/ Diamond]

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...Still hanging on this wall

I'm thinking back in time
To when there was still a life
Free of misery
Oh...But it was never to be

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...And still you're haunting me

I'm thinking back in time
To the cellar in the darkest night
All the misery
All...The blood I had to see

Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...
They're ready for the show
Now the blood must flow
They're waiting above
Oh Noooo!

Let the show begin

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

For 13 days.. we have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again, we're learning to stretch our skin

Every time THEY bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelves
Every time we feel the sting
Every time we feel the Blood going in

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
The Blood THEY use must come from our own
Living just an hour, then we fade again

"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness

Every night Victoria and I
We spend what's left of the Blood in our systems
Sitting on opposite shelves
Talking with our eyes, trying to remember
It is all that we've got

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
We're living through our memories
And it's worth it...

"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness
The Puppet Master is hear again

[solo: Andy]

[P.M.:] "Tonight you will dance for me Puppet Girl
Tonight.. no strings attached"

"But I can't, never did I dance, oh I don't have a chance"

[P.M.:] "Dance"

"I take a step, oh I try my best
I stumble into the shelves with all the jars"
6...6 of them coming down
Broken glass and Puppet life is on the floor

"In the Darkness we live out lives"
[P.M.:] "Send her far away, far away from here"
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
[P.M.:] "To the other theater.. tomorrow morning she must be gone
Send her to Berlin...send that

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

Upon the Cross he did not die, they tortured him, but he survived
Smuggled across the open sea, to Southern France, tranquility
There he married Magdalene, and founded another dynasty
A church was built upon a hill, to serve all of the gods at will

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

[SOLO: Herb]

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!

[SOLO: Andy]

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

[Solo: Mike]
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
[Solo: Mike]
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
[Solo: Andy - Solo: Mike]
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
