01. The Dead

Heaven or hell
Heaven or hell

Where are we now?
What is this place?
Don't you remember little brother?
We died we're dead
But what are they gonna do to me?
Am I going to hell?
I don't know, but that's what they say
I will try to find you another soul

Listen? do you hear that organ play?
I must go to where the organ plays
I must go but I can never stay
Now to this house I go

Don't let anyone see your bloody dress

02. Never Ending Hill

Time is never ever standing still, except on never ending hill
From here you can see devil lake
The velvet sunset is never too late

Never ending hill is where I live, the old oak tree is standing still
Can you hear the birds singing in the trees?
Can you hear the wind shaking all the leaves?

Take a look at the sky
Golden clouds are moving right by my eyes
Black cat Magic is down by the lake
Chasing butterflies that can't get away

Now the sun is slowly going down
I can hear... devil lake is quiet now
Magic, magic come home
Say goodbye to your butterfly 'cause night time is coming our way

Time is never ever standing still, except on never ending hill.
From here you can see devil lake
The velvet sunset is never too late

Take a look at the sky
Golden clouds are moving right by my eyes
Black cat Magic is down by the lake
Chasing butterflies that can't get away

Ah? Darkness coming
Ah? Sun is drowning, drowning in devil lake
Ah? Magic come in
Ah? Light is fading, oh yeah its getting late

03. Is Anybody Here?

Oh the night is here
It's hot tonight
Look into the shadows, oh don't you see
Minute by minute they're being born around me
I need a little light

In the darkness my eyes can't see
And I got a feeling that someone's watching me

It's hot tonight
Listen? To the darkness, can you hear it breathe?
I can feel it all around me
I need a little light

In the darkness my eyes can't see
And I got a feeling that someone's watching me

Is anybody there? Hiding in the shadows
Is anybody there? Hiding, looking in from the dark

Help me? Help me, what is that I hear?
Help me, there it is again help me, is anybody there?
Help me, must be in my head help me
'Cause there is only me in here and then my magic cat

Is anybody there?
Hiding in the shadows
Is anybody there?
Hiding, looking in from the dark

Is anybody there?
Is anybody here?
It's hot tonight
Listen to the darkness, can you hear it breathe?
I can feel it all around m
I need a little light

Is anybody here?
Help me ? Help me

04. Black Of Night

I need light, I need light to find my way around this house
I'm turning on the chandelier
Nice bright light for me to see

Little footsteps coming from the hallway
Oh no the lights are flickering
Oh no the lights are out

In the black of night, oh it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh the moon is full

Ha-ha? In the black of night, oh it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh the moon is full

My black cat Magic
Mesmerized by something in the hallway
Who's to say what's living in the darkness?
Who is to say if a black cat can sense it?

I need light, I need light to find my way around this house
Oh there's a candle
Just a little light
So I can see again

Little footsteps coming from the hallway
Auu? Auu? Something hit me on the head
Auu? Auu? There it is again

In the black of night, oh it's so hard to see
In the black of night, I see the moon
In the black of night, oh the moon is full
In the black of night, oh it's so hard to see

05. Mirror, Mirror

My feelings are burning with fear
I know someone's in here, I just can't see

I silently follow the sound
Little footsteps are moving in the hall
With the candle still in my hand
I take a look at the mirror on the wall

I cannot see myself
I don't even see the hallway that I'm in
I see a girl in a bloody dress
Standing in the cellar down below

I cannot see myself
I don't even see the hallway that I'm in
I see a girl in a bloody dress
Standing in the cellar down below

Mirror mirror, mirror in the hall
Ah-Ah? Mirror mirror
Ah-Ah? The mirror on the wall
No

Why are you here?
What are you looking for in this house? is it me?
Why are your hands so full of blood?
Oh it's in your hair too? good God
I cannot tell in the colour of night
If she is dressed in red or bloody white? oh the night
Little girl your hair is such a mess
Little girl what are those marks on your neck? Are you dead?

Mirror mirror, mirror in the hall
Ah-Ah? Mirror mirror
Ah-Ah? The mirror on the wall
My feelings are burning with fear
I know someone's in here, the girl is near

Now I can see the bloody smear on the wall
I see the crucifix hanging upside down
Another look at the mirror on the wall

I cannot see myself
I don't even see the hallway that I'm in
I see a girl in a bloody dress
Standing in the cellar down below

Mirror, mirror? Mirror in the hall
Ah-Ah? Mirror mirror
Ah-Ah? The mirror on the wall

Through the mirror on the wall
Blood is dripping on my floor

06. The Cellar

Why do I feel this way?
Deep in my mind I know that I should stay away
Anyway I go, down below
Down to the cellar where the little girl just might show

The dark is so much darker here
The candlelight can't break the sensation of fear
I see a trail of blood
Leading down into the dark where no one should go

I shouldn't be down here, not tonight
Evil is in the air, tonight
I shouldn't be down here, not tonight
Everything is closing in on me

Here I am, in the dark, there's no return
Then in a halo of light? I see a shape, I know it's her, Ohh
So many black little wings meet me as I enter the cellar
So many black little wings, black little wings on my face
Oh no no no, I cannot see, I cannot see what's going on
I hear her breathe, I hear her wheeze
And then she points her little finger right at me

Mine mine mine mine, give me your soul please
Mine mine mine mine
Stay away from me

Mine mine mine mine, give me your soul please
Mine mine mine mine
Oh no no no

I, I've got the get away
Her piercing eyes will burn deep into my mind
I slowly turn around
I can feel her closing in, and then I'm falling down

The dark is so much darker than before
The candle in my hand doesn't burn anymore
I think I'm losing my mind
As I'm barely crawling out, out of this place
I shouldn't b down there, not tonight
I can't believe I made it out of there

07. Pictures In Red

In the hallway
On the floor

I hear voices in the darkness
I'm so tired? I feel dead
Go to sleep and I, I will tell you
I will tell you why I'm here
Am I dreaming or am I still awake?
I see pictures of a little girl
Pictures in red

08. Give Me Your Soul

Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead
I think I know that little girl, I wonder where I've seen her before
In a cellar down below, I see the little girl playing with a boy
They're having fun

In comes Daddy
He's in a rage
Screaming and yelling
He's not very nice
Cold as ice, an axe in his hand
Oh no, looks like he's going insane
Pictures in red
Pictures in red
The axe is coming down into his head
Pictures in red
Pictures in red
The little boy is dead

Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead
It must be a dream
It must be a dream from below, oh
Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead

13 judges on a bench, the little boy is screaming: "No, it's a mistake"
A suicide is what you are, the judges say
"You're going down, you're going down to hell"

Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead
It must be a dream
It must be a dream from below, oh
Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead

I think I know that little girl, I wonder where I've seen her before
In a cellar down below, I see the little girl dressed in blood
And the blood is not her own

Looks like he's going insane again
Pictures in red, pictures in red
Daddy's hands are squeezing her neck
Pictures in red, little girl is dead
And daddy's got a hole in his head

09. The Floating Head

I'm in the hallway on the floor, I cannot stand the dark no more
Oh I'm lighting candles everywhere
I try to keep the darkness out of here

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

Now I'm on the second floor, I cannot stand the dark no more
Still I'm lighting candles everywhere
I try to stay awake out of fear

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

Or what is real
For the pictures in red, they are still in my head
How can I believe in all of the things I see
When there's a floating head outside watching me

The floating head has disappeared, I got to get some water in my face
I turn towards the mirror on the wall
The little sink is filling up, the water's cold

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

Or what is real
For behind me is the wrinkled head of a woman who's dead
No body, just the head, strong hands around my neck
Forcing me under water, I'm drowning
Ah? Ah? Ah? I got to breathe
Ah? Ah? Ah? Got to break free

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel?

Or what is real

10. Cold As Ice

Cold and wet, I'm sitting on my bed? Ah

Colder and colder
The candles burning in my room are getting weaker
Darker and darker
The shadows dancing on the wall are growing taller

Cold as ice, this room is cold as ice, and growing colder

Colder and colder
My skin is slowly turning blue, I'm frozen over
Darker and darker
The Dark is slowly creeping in, It's taking over

Cold as ice, this room is cold as ice, and so am I

My breath is slowing? and yet, it's summertime
The dark is moving
It's as if the shadows have a life of their own
As if the shadows have a life of their own

Cold as ice, I'm cold as ice, cold as ice, so cold

Colder and colder
The spirits waiting in my room are growing stronger
Darker and darker
The dark is like an open door, inviting them into your home

Cold as ice, this room is cold as ice, and so am I?

My breath is slowing? and yet, it's summertime
The dark is moving
It's as if? The shadows have a life of their own
As if the shadows have a life of their own

Cold as ice, I'm cold as ice, cold as ice, so cold
Uhhh? Cold as ice
Uhhh? So cold

11. Shapes Of Black

I'm dressed in black, with my stick and hat
So this is the end, where it all will begin

Shapes of black on the floor
Shapes of black behind every door

They keep sucking on the light until
There is no more light to find in here
Hello reality, goodbye to my sanity

Shapes of black on my bed
Shapes of black all around my head

Shhhhhh? They are here
Can you hear them breath?
Listen

There's a spider on the wall
Watching shadows as they crawl
Is the darkness the only way, for the other side to enter our life?

Ah Ah Ah, I see them
Ah Ah Ah, I feel them
Ah Ah Ah, I see them
Ah Ah Ah, I feel them

Closer and closer
Human shapes made from the dark
I see a black moth, fighting for its life
In the flame of the last candle that I have

Shhhhhh? One of them is really close? Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?

Shapes of black on my bed
Shapes of black all around my head

Shapes of black, they try to kill my flame
Shapes of black, Ah they are driving me insane

So little time
So little light
So little time
Light
Phhhh? No more light

12. The Girl In The Bloody Dress

The girl in the bloody dress, appearing right before my eyes
The girl in the bloody dress, crossing over from the other side

I see the moon in the black of night
I see her dirty face, oh
The little girl in the bloody dress, closer, and closer

I feel her eyes in my soul
Looking around seeing all I have done
All I have done with my life

The girl in the bloody dress, I know why she's here tonight
The girl in the bloody dress, looking for
Something deep inside my mind

I see the moon in the black of night
I see her dirty face, oh
The little girl in the bloody dress, closer, and closer

I feel her eyes in my soul
Looking around seeing all that I have done
All I have done? with my life

Do not be afraid there won't be any
pain, I? Need your soul
No no no, my soul is full, of sin

The girl in the bloody dress, she's hiding her hands in the dark
The girl in the bloody dress, carrying the devil's mark

I see the moon in the black of night
I see her dirty face, oh
The little girl in the bloody dress, closer, and closer

I feel her hands on my own
Holding them down, they are so full of blood
Her brother's blood
And my soul is no good at all, you got to move on now
You gotta move on before the dawn is here

I feel her hands on my own
Holding them down, they are so full of blood
Her brother's blood .. Red

I know I let my brother down, to hell, he must go
No no no? You still have time

13. Moving On

Oh, you gotta move on now
I can see, I can feel, the tears in your eyes
The tears that you cry, you gotta move on now
Let me wipe those tears from your eyes

If I could only take his place? On the other side
I can see, I can feel, the tears in his eyes
The tears that he cries
We need each other
In the darkest of night? he's all I have

Time is running out, to find another soul
Time is running out, to find another soul

You gotta move on now, You gotta move on now
And find another house before the dawn is coming in
Moving on, moving on, oh yeah
Before the dawn is coming in, find a soul that's free of sin
I'm trying, crying
I'm trying, I don't know if I can
You gotta move on now, You gotta move on now
And find another house before the dawn is coming in
Find a soul that's free on sin

Time is running out, I'm moving on
Time is running out, I'm moving on

On the other side
I can see, I can feel, the tears in his eyes
The tears that he cries
We need each other
In the darkest of night
I'm moving on to this house
