The dead
Never ending hill
Is anybody here?
Black of night
Mirror mirror
The cellar
Pictures in red
Give me your soul
The floating head
Cold as ice
Shapes of black
The girl in the bloody dress
Moving on
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

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

[Solo : Mike]

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

[Solo : Andy]

Ah  Darkness coming
Ah  Sun is drowning, drowning in Devil Lake.
Ah  Magic come in
Ah  Light is fading, oh yeah its getting late.

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

[Solo : Andy]

 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

[Solo : Mike]

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

[Solo: Mike]

Is anybody here?    Help me   Help me

Black of night
[Solo theme : Andy]

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

[Solo : Andy   Mike   Andy   Mike]

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?

[Solo theme : Andy]

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

[Solo : Andy   Mike]

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

[Solo : Mike]

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?

[Solo : Andy]

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

[Solo : Andy]

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
				
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

[Solo : Andy]

 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

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
				
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]

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

[Solo : Mike]

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

[Solo : Andy]

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can t control how I feel 

 Or what is real

[Chorus]

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

[Solo : Andy   Mike]

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

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

[Solo : Mike]

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

[Solo : Andy]

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

[Solo : Andy]

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

[Solo : Mike]

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
