Welcome home
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

Sleepless nights
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 . . .

Eye of the witch
It's so cold inside on this summer night
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time

It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch

Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
I am no more the same, that special night has come
losing track of time

It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE
Another glass of wine to heat blood mine
And as I look inside the necklace called "The Eye"
I'm going back in time

It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
Guitar solo ANDY

Halloween
Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Began
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die
[Solo: Mike]
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
[Solo: Andy]
Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

Halloween...Halloween...

Melissa
[SOLO: MICHAEL]

I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles

Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light

She was a witch
Why did they take you away?

[SOLO: HANK]

Melissa, you were the queen of the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest must die
He must die in the name of Hell

[SOLO: MICHAEL]

Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?

Nothing is left outside at the stake
They're taken her away from me

Come to the sabbath
Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
First we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken

Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Lead the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen...now come
Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...

[SOLO: H.SHERMANN]

If you say heaven I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one

Funeral
"We are gathered here tonight,
to lay to rest Abigail LaFey,
whom we now know
was first born dead
on 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 the 7 be drawn through her mouth
so that she may never rise and cause evil again

Who will be the first?"

"I O'Brian of the Black Horsemen."

Arrival
LEAD INTRO: Mike
"That must be it"

THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.

Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived
To the valley where the crossroads 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

The coach had stopped and from the window you could see
7 horsemen in the night
Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey
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: Andy.

"We know You've come to inherit what's Yours... The Mansion
Take our advise and go back on this night
If you refuse 18 will become 9... Oh No"
Oh 18 is 9

THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.

Jonathan laughed and said "Get out of My way"
"I don't believe a word You say"
The 7 horsemen disapeared into the night
and said "Someday You'll need our help my friend"

I think poor Jonathan was scared

18 is actually 9... It stuck in his mind

SOLO: Andy.

A mansion in darkness
THEME: Andy.

Riding up the alley in the rain
No lights to show the way
How could this ever be their home
Through the darkness You could only see
A giant shadow wich was to be
A house where evil ruled at night

And the shadows at the gate, they 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 its mark
Armed with candlelight and open eyes
Through the dark they fought their way
'Til every room was lit again... Again

And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive
Yeah the house began to breathe, Alive

THEME AND SOLO: Andy.

As the candlelight began to fade
And Jonathan said "Let's go to bed"
The fireplace had ceased to burn... Burn
Both were fast asleep before the dawn, Dreaming... Dreaming
And they did not know about the shadow

Yeah the shadow on the wall, it really came alive
Yeah the shadow on the wall, Sunrise!

SOLO: Mike.
THEME AND SOLO: Andy.

The family ghost
SOLO: Andy.

The darkness came closer to home on the following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when Jonathan's face went white

The bedroom was ice cold
But the fire was burning still
The blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again... The Ghost

"Don't be scared, Don't be scared now My Friend
I am Count de LaFey
Let me take You to the crypt down below
Where Abigail rests"

"Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go... It's time to know"

SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy

"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
Take a look into the vault, the Vault
The sarcophagus... of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years
stillborn", Born... Born... Born

"The spirit of Abigail is inside Your Wife
and there's only one way You can stop the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"

The 7th day of july 1777
ACC. GUITAR: Andy.

Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating Wife
9 months of loving and sharing
Oh it was a bastard child
How could he have been so blind

"No bastard baby
will inherit 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 1777, on the 7th Day of July

The Countess broke her neck and the embryo came out dead
The he burned his beloved Wife
and the embryo he gave a name
"Abigail You must rest in shame" Rest in shame

SOLO: Andy

Obsessed
With a strange idea
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find... and he did

SOLO: Mike.

So he pushed her down the stairs
To die... "No" She cried
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July

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

Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens

Inside the mansion the air is unbearable, a rotten smell
In the dinning room the table is set for 3

Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens

SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy

"Miriam come here and see what I've found, it's moving
An empty cradle swaying in the air
I did not bring it in here, now did You?"

"No, no, no"

Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens

The possession
On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten away by the sun
Miriam grew hour by hour and
Jonathan he cried
He knew the ghost had been telling the truth
So this was 9
The pregnancy would not last overnight

Oh she started singing
A lullaby, rocking the cradle again
And then she said
"I'm having Your baby my love... love"
But it wasn't love, Oh no
She was possessed... and he knew

SOLO: Mike

"I will get what is rightfully mine"

SOLO: Andy

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 love, Oh no
She was possessed... possessed
				
top

Abigail
"Abigail, I know You're in control of her brain, Abigail
And I know that You're the one that's speaking through her, Abigail
Miriam can You hear me"

"I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam's dead, I am her head... "

SOLO: Mike

"Abigail, don't You think I know what You've done, Abigail
I'll get a priest, he will know
How to get her soul back"

THEME: Mike

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

SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy

"Abigail, nothing I can do but give in, Abigail"

"Jonathan, I agree... Yes I do"

"I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam's dead, I am her head... soon I'll be free!!!"
				
top

Black horsemen
SOLO: Mike

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
