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 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
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 tree
Can you hear the wind shaking all the leaves
Whoa, 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 nighttime 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
Whoa, 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
Darkness coming
Sun is drowning
Drowning in Devil Lake
Magic come in
Light is fading
Oh yeah its getting 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
Back To The Top
Is Anybody Here?
Oh the night is here
It's hard tonight looking to the shadows
Don't you see
Minute by minute they being more 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 hard tonight listen to the darkness
Can you hear it breath
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 hard tonight listen to the darkness
Can you hear it breath
I can feel it all around me
I need a little light
Is anybody here?
Help me...help me!

Black Of Night
I need light!
I need light to find my way around this house
I'm turning on the...?
Nice right 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
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 sleeping in the
darkness
Who is to say What black cats can sensing?
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 a thing
Little footsteps coming from the hallway
Auh auh...something hit me on the head
Auh auh...there it is again
In the black of night
Oh it's too 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

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
Back To The Top
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 be down there, not tonight
Evil is in the air, tonight
I shouldn’t be down there, not tonight
I can’t believe I made it out of there

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.
Back To The Top
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
[Solo : Mike � Andy]
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
[Solo : Mike]
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
[Chorus: repeat till end]
[Solo : Andy]

Floating Heads
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
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
Back To The Top
Cold As Ice
Cold and wet, I’m sitting on my bed… Ah
Colder and older
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 older
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 showing… 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 older
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 showing… 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

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 breathe? 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’re driving me insane
So little time… So little light… So little time… Light
“Phhhh… No more light”

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… Tick… Tock
Back To The Top
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 THIS house”
