    FUNERAL

    We are gathered here tonight to lay to rest Abigail La Fey Whom we no know was first born dead of the 7th day of July 1777 Abigail must be nailed to her coffin with 7 silver spikes 1 through each, arm, hand, and knee, and let the last of 7 dedrawn through her mouth So that she may never rise and cause evil again - Who will be the first? - - 1 O'Brain of the Black Horseman -

    Solo: M.D.

    ARRIVAL

    - That must be it! - Solo: M.D.

    Through the summer rain of 1845, the coach is finally arrived To the valley where the cross roads meet below, and where all darkness seems to grow People blame it on the hill, the hill where no one dares to go The mansion where no one dares to go

    The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see Seven horseman in the night, Miriam Natias and Jonathan La Fey Saw the magic in their eyes, they were in for a surprise The darkness would soon be complete A horseman came forth from the dark

    Solo: A.L.R.

    - We know you're come to inherite what's your the mansion Take our advice and go back in this night If you refuse 18 will became 9 ... 18 is 9 ... 18 is 9 -

    Solo: M.D.

    Jonathan laughed and said: - Get out of my way. I don't believe a word you say - The 7 horseman disappeared into the night - Some day you'll need our help, my friend! - I think poor Jonathan was scared 18 is actually 9, it stuck in his mind

    Solo: A.L.R.

    A MANSION IN DARKNESS

    Theme: A.L.R.

    Riding up the alley in the rain No light to show the way How could this ever be their home Through the darkness you could only see Against shadow which was to be A house where evil ruled at night

    And the shadows at the gate It seemed to be alive Yeah, the shadows at the gate Alive ...

    Everything inside was left untouched Except for what the rats had got And the dust of time that showed it's mark Armed with candle light and open eyes Through the dark they fought their way Till every room was life again

    And the house began to breath It seemed to be alive Yeah, the house began to breath Alive ...

    Theme & Solo: A.L.R.

    As the candle light began to fade And Jonathan said: - Let's go to bed - The fireplace houd ceased to burn Both were fast a sleep before the dawn Dreaming, dreaming And they did not know about shadow

    Yeah, the shadow on the wall It's really come alive Yeah, the shadow on the wall Surprise!

    Solo: M.D. Theme & Solo: A.L.R.

    THE FAMILY GHOST

    The darkness came closer to home On the following night And Miriam slept like a rock When Jonathan face went white The bedroom was ice cold But the kize was burning still The blinding light The family ghost Had rising again Oh, the ghost

    - Don't be scared, don't be scared, my friend I am Count De La Fey Let me take you to the crypt down below Where Abigail rests She never would understand No come let us go It's time to know ... -

    Solo: M.D. - A.L.R.

    - Beware of the slippery stairs You could easily fall And break your neck Hand me that torch and I will lead the way To the secret in the dark, secret in the dark The look into the vault - Oh, the vault The sarcophagus ... of a child - Abigail has been here For years and years Smell born ... born The spirit of Abigail is inside your wife And there is only one way You can stop the rebirth of Evil in self You must take her life now ...

    THE 7th DAY OF JULY 1777

    Accoustic guitar A.L.R.

    Count De La Fey uncovered his cheating wife Nine month of loving and sharing Oh, it was a bastard child Now could he have been so blind? - No! Bastard Baby Will in her it what's mine - Another one of her affairs Had left him in despair So he pushed her down the stairs - To die! - No! - she cried In 7th day 1777, of the 7th day of July

    The coutness broke her neck And the Embryo came out dead Then he burned his beloved wife And the Embryo he gave a name - Abigail, you must rest in shame, rest in shame

    Solo: A.L.R.

    Obsessed With a strange idea He wanted to mummity The gize for future to find ... And he did

    Solo: M.D.

    So he pushed her down the stairs - To die! - No! - she cried In 7th Day 1777, of the 7th day of July

    OMENS

    Nobody's inside the church but the bell is ringing For no reason the flowers are dying Deadly Omens, Deadly Omens

    Inside the mansion the air is unbearable A rotten smell In the dining room the table is set for 3 Deadly Omens, Deadly Omens

    solo: M.D. - A.L.R.

    - Miriam, come here and see what I've found, it's moving And empty cradle swaying in the air I did not bring it in here, did you? - - Oh, no, no, no! - Deadly Omens, Deadly Omens

    THE POSSESSION

    On the very next morning When the mist was eating way by sun Miriam grew hour by hour And Jonathan be cried He knew the ghost had been telling the truth So this was 9 The pregnancy would not last over night Oh, she started singing Of lullaby, rocking the cradle again And then she said: - I'm having your baby my love - Love? But it wasn't be love, oh, no! She was possessed ... And he know

    Solo: M.D.

    - I will get what is night fully mine! -

    Solo: A.L.R.

    Speaking with different tongues Miriam was eaten alive from inside Again she said: - I'm having your baby - my love - Love? But it wasn't be love, oh, no! She was possessed ... possessed

    ABIGAIL

    - Abigail, I know you're in control of her brain Abigail, and I know that you're to one that's Speaking through her, Abigail Miriam, can you hear me - - I am alive inside your wife Miriams dead, I am her head

    Solo: M.D.

    - Abigail, don't you think I know what you're done Abigail I'll get a priest. He will know How to get her soul back -

    Solo: M.D.

    - Oh, Jonathan, this is Miriam Our time is out Remember the stairs, it's only way -

    Solo: M.D. - A.L.R.

    - Abigail, nothing I can do but give in, Abigail, follow me to the crypt Abigail, you ought to the reborn where you dead Abigail -

    - Jonathan, I agree ... Yes, I do I am alive inside your wife Miriams dead, I am her head Soon I'll be free! -

    BLACK HORSEMAN

    Solo: M.D.

    So three they stood at the top of the stairs Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared Gazing in to the dark, Jonathan saw the stairs For second he turned his back And she was there like a ghost She pushed him hard and dean 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 the 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 horseman would arrive before the dawn Servants of the count when Abigail was born the first time

    Solo: A.L.R.

    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 - That's the end of another lullaby Time has come for me to stay Goodnight

    Solo: M.D.

    Out from asylum

    IT IS TIME FOR TEA, IT IS TIME AGAIN

    o

    BLOOD WAS RUNNING INTO THE TEA POT, THEN I HEARD "THEM" LAUGH "A BIT OF THIS IN A CUP OF TEA, IS WHAT IT TAKES TO SET "THEM" FREE YOU WILL HEAR "THEM" TELLING STORIES FROM FAR BEYOND THIS EARTH" WHAT I SAW AND WHAT I HEARD MADE ME WANT TO STAY AND LEARN

    I REALLY HOPE THIS DREAM WILL NEVER END, IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE THE KIND OF FEELING THAT WENT ON IN MY MIND A PARADISE

    o -

    TONIGHT WOULD BE THE LAST NIGHT THAT WE HAD OUR TEA THAT BLOODY TEA, WHICH SENT US INTO ECSTASY YESTERDAY MOTHER COMPLAINED, FEELING DIZZY, ALL IN PAIN

    MOTHER'S GETTING WEAKER, LOOKING PALER DAY BY DAY

    AS MORNING CAME, SHE COULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF BED AND GRANDMA'S SPELL WAS GETTING STRAIGHT INTO HER HEAD NOT A SINGLE WORD, SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ALIVE

    GETTING WEAKER, LOOKING PALER DAY BY DAY

    THEN MISSY CAME IN AND SHE LED ME BY THE HAND I DIDN'T WANT TO GO, OH BUT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MOTHER WAS BARELY CONSCIOUS, WHY SHOULD I CARE JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ORDEAL

    - o -

    BYE, BYE MISSY

    TIME TIME MONDAY NIGHT, I WAS WAITING PASSING TIME THEN FROM THE HALLWAY, I SAW MOTHER IN HER NIGHTGOWN SWAYING UP THE STAIRS, UP THE STAIRS, IT SEEMED SO UNREAL I KNEW GRANDMA' HAD SENT "THEM" AGAIN, THE INVISIBLE FRIENDS

    A LITTLE LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF TEA WE CAME CLOSE TO ECSTASY "THEY" WERE TELLING TALES FROM BEYOND WHEN GRANDMA' ROSE

    SHE OPENED THE DOOR, AND THERE WAS MISSY SEEING MOTHER IN GRANDMOTHER'S CHAIR, SHE WENT INTO TEARS

    o -

    "THEY" DROPPED "THEIR" TEA CUPS, GRANDMA' STOOD STILL FORCED BY INVISIBLE HANDS, MISSY WENT DOWN THE STAIRS AS I WAVED HER GOODBYE, MISSY WAS SOBBING AWAY

    WILL I EVER SEE HER AGAIN, BYE BYE MISSY, DON'T BE AFRAID

    o

    A BROKEN SPELL

    I STUMBLED OUT OF GRANDMA'S ROOM, DOWN THE STAIRS AND OUT OF THE HOUSE ONCE OUTSIDE I FELT MY MIND BEGIN TO FIGHT A BATTLE FOR CONTROL

    WITH THE TEA POT BROKEN I KIND OF REALIZED THAT "THEIR" POWER WAS LESS HERE, HERE ON THE OUTSIDE

    I FELL TO MY KNEES IN HAZINESS AND I LOOKED IN THROUGH THE WINDOW TO THE CELLAR

    THINGS WERE MOVING DOWN THERE, "THEY" WERE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING AND "THEY" REALLY FOUND IT, THE BIG AXE WAS FLYING

    FLYING OUT THROUGH THE CELLAR DOOR UP THE STAIRS TO THE KITCHEN ... THEN I PASSED OUT

    -

    THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER SEEING WAS THE SMOKE COMING FROM THE CHIMNEY I SOON REALIZED THE SMOKE I SAW WAS ACTUALLY ... OH NO! ALL THERE WAS LEFT OF MISSY AND HER DRESS, POOR LITTLE GIRL

    o

    THE SPELL WAS ROKEN, I REALLY FELT THE CHANGE AS MY MIND AND BODY BECAME ONE AGAIN

    THE MOON WAS ALIVE WITH IT'S SILVERY EYE STARING RIGHT INTO MY EVIL HEART

    I WENT BACK TO SEE IF MY GRANDMA' WAS STILL HERE WAITING FOR ME IN THE ATTIC ... OH I HATE THAT BITCH

    THE ACCUSATION CHAIR

    I KIND OF KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE WAITING FOR ME IN HER ROOM WITH A SICK SMILE SHE TOLD ME NOT TO BE A FOOL HER EYES WENT HARD, STARING RIGHT INTO MY BRAIN BUT I CONVINCED HER THAT I WAS FEELING REAL FINE

    OH, I WAS LYING ... SEEING THE LOOK IN HER EYES CLEARING MY MIND WAS IMPORTANT

    SHE BELIEVED EVERYTHING I SAID AND THEN SHE ASKED ME IF I WOULD HELP TO BRING HER OUTSIDE

    OH, I WAS LUCKY ... "LET US STAY FOR A WHILE" SHE SAID "BATHING OURSELVER IN THE MOONLIGHT"

    SO THERE SHE WAS, UNPROTECTED BY "THEM" I GRABBED HER CANE, AND TORE IT OUT OF HER HAND "NO WAY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ESCAPE"

    "NOW THAT I'VE GOT YOU ... HERE YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR DEEDS YOUR SICK MIND HAS COME TO AN END NOW"

    "STOP IT"

    - o

    NOWHERE TO HIDE, GRANDMA' HAD DIED ALONE IN THE NIGHT AND "THEY" WERE WAITING FOR ME, WAITING INSIDE HOPING THAT I WOULD COME BACK IN BUT I JUST RAN AWAY INTO THE WOODS, AS FAR AS I COULD I SAW "THEIR" EYES AND THEN I FAINTED AGAIN, GOING INSANE DREAMING THAT I WAS ONE OF "THEM" ... I HEAR "THEIR" VOICES ALL THE TIME

    TWILIGHT SYMPHONY

    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

    -

Hear the Spider's Lullaby It's really sad for Harry, He finds a spider scary Even the smallest species will make him feel uneasy Oh, they live in every corner Oh, and here comes another There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it! Soon to be another creamy spot As he woke up this morning, there was a spider crawling He felt a big suprise before it caught his eyes Oh, it was between his face Oh, and his pillow case There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it! Soon to be another creamy spot Here comes another one... Hahahahahahaha He's got to find a doctor, a very special doctor Someone who can cure his mind Someone who knows Harry's kind Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby Those creepy crawly creatures With all thier hairy features Hoping to catch a fly Singing it's deadly lullaby Oh... Oh, NO... There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!

Spider's everywhere Spiders feeding the dead to thier young Spiders here... Spider's everywhere Spiders using the dead for thier home Spiders... they're growing like rats from the plague Spiders... there's so many more everyday Summer is coming to an end And the celler in the morgue is a nest now One thousand poisonous creatures Eight thousand poisonous legs!

    Tuesday night-Monday morning I heard a policeman say to Grandpa: "There once was a Salem, the caretaker of the "LOA" house But he died years ago. As a matter of fact, he's buried right here on your land". lf they only knew.

    Aftermath

    The "LOA" house and the old voodoo burial ground Are still standing in all their glory. The Lafayettes left the hospital and Louisiana And went to ... l don't care. Malone survived. He's a scared old man now, By the way, my name is Salem. You cannot say, that everybody's happy, But you can say, that everybody is now Safe from each other. At least l thought so, until a few days ago When I heard of some mother By the name of Sarah Lafayette Who's newborn baby was speaking in the strangest tongue Backwards. A miracle? Some expert had uttered the word: VOODOO
