House On Cemetery Hill
Lyrics
Moving Day
(boy)
We are moving to a new house in a new town
and daddy says I get my own room now
My sisters crying for her old friends and her old school
but mamma says she's gonna come around
(chorus)
It's moving day
we're moving to a new house
out on the edge of town
and I can hardly wait
Moving day
I can't believe it's finally here
we've all been waiting for so long
to move into our new house
The yard is awesome With a big tree and a tire swing
lots of room and out in the fresh air
But the dogs acting crazy He's barking and wont stop
He's growling and whining but there is nothing there
It's moving day
we're moving to a new house
out on the edge of town
and I can hardly wait
Moving day
I can't believe it's finally here
we've all been waiting for so long
to moving into our new house
(2 X)
Our new house is next to a cemetery
In The Dark
In the dark
I hear voices
Faint and hollow
but coming closer
they whisper to me
In the Dark
eyes are watching
red and evil
and they keep showing me
terrible things
In the dark
there's a hunger
It's getting stronger
an ancient evil
dying to be free
I plug my ears
I close my eyes
I pull the pillow up over my face
Please just go away
I tried to fight
I tried to hide
But the more I fought, the harder I tried
The more they came
(witch)
Come child let me show you
The world I come from
Come child and I will tell you
The story of what happened to me
1693
In the year 1693
The year my father died
I was only 15 years old
I'd never known a man
Our mayor was a very bad man
and he wanted my familys land
but I stood up to him
and I said no - no no
That night a knock upon my door
he brought soldiers
they came in and threw me on the floor
tied my hands behind me
They drug me off to jail
and threw me in a cell
I fought back and screamed
but they took turns
having thier way with me.
(judge)
You stand before the court
accused of conspiring with the devil
For practicing the evil art of witchcraft
and bringing malicious curses upon this town.
How do you plead?
(witch)
A witch? thats crazy, Im innocent,
They're tying to steal my father's land.
They put me in jail and they're doing terrible things.
Please you have to let me go
(Judge)
You do NOT tell this court what to do.
Now if baseless lies are your only defense, I have no other alternative
then to find you...
guilty!
Take this witch away
A New Horror
On the floor in the dark
Locked in a cell
In my lowest moment
of weakness and dispair
He came....
I said no, Leave me alone
Go away, I said no
His beautiful face
with glowing red eyes
He whispered sweet and blasphemous lies
I knew it was wrong
and he prayed on my fears
but he said all I wanted to hear
He promised me life
He promised me wealth
He promised me...
(Devil)
Revenge
I said yes, I want it all
I said yes, Ill give you my soul
I said yes, I wanted revenge
I said yes, but I was a fool
Suite Revenge
When I woke up the cell door was open
I looked around and the guards were sleeping
I wanted revenge for what he had done
So I took their dagger and I slit their throats
and made my way to the mayors house
I crept inside and into his bedroom
Then I stabbed his heart and watched him die
I wanted revenge for what he had done
But his wife woke up and she started screaming
so I stabbed her too just to shut her up
shut up! shut up! shut up!
Resolution
Outside in the moonlight
It seemed like a dream
I woke from my trance and could not believe
With blood on my hands
They'll be after me
The whole town will know What have I done.
I just start running blind
I can't let them find me
'll get myself lost in the deep woods
With torches and pitchforks
They're right behind me
I can feel thier hate and hear them curse me
Then finally I'm found
After running for three days
They bind my hands and drag me away
Tied to a cross - whipped like a dog
Begging for mercy
They burned me alive - but i didn't die
My body was taken from me
I'm trapped in this place - I can not escape
Held down by the devil's black embrace
Hell is coming
Get Out Of My Head
(boy)
Lying in my bedroom, voices fill my head
The voices from beyond the grave
The voices of the dead
Whispers in the blackness, of true blasphemy
the wicked cries, the endless lies
are poisoning my dreams
(devil)
Anything you desire will be yours for the asking
money or glory, or power over all man
Renounce your god and be at my command
We will rule this world if you'll just
take my hand
(boy)
Lying in the darkness, madness all around
I can’t think, I can’t speak
Not a single sound
Whispers in the blackness, of true blasphemy
the endless cries, the wicked lies
are poisoning my dreams
(devil)
Just accept the serpents kiss, I can give you anything
Power or money or glory seen by all man
I can give you the freedom to ride the 4 winds
I can even show you the black
gates of babylon
If you deny me there will be no return
even in death your grave shall burn
if you deny me you'll know no peace
sleep with the devil there is no reprieve
(boy)
Get out of my head
(devil)
No peace
(boy)
go away
(devil)
No love
(boy)
leave me alone
(devil)
no life
no end, just take my hand
(boy)
get out of my head
