Out from the asylum
Welcome home
The invisible guest
Tea
Mother's getting weaker
Bye, bye Missy
A broken spell
The accusation chair
"Them"
Twilight symphony
Comming home
Phone call
The invisible guest
Bye, bye Missy
Out from the asylum
Look, the old bitch is back
  Yeah,finally we'll get some company again 
  The attic room has been locked up for far too long
  Just like the old bitch herself 
  She's on time though
  Why that silly wheelchair? 
  Oh she's pretending as always
  But she does make a good cup of tea. 
  "Oh My God she's here.
  Missy, listen to what Mother says:
  Now You be good to Grandma
  And remember she's been away on a long vacation.
That goes for You too King. And stop playing that thing.
Answer the door"

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

The invisible guest
Late that night I awoke from My sleep
Hearing unknown voices laughing insane 
Grandma' was one, Oh it's coming
From the room next to mine 
It's Grandma' room . . . the invisible guests 
As I stood there alone in the dark
Peeking through the keyhole
I couldn't believe My eyes 
I'd never seen anything like it
Only Grandma' was inside the room 
Speaking to no one . . . the invisible guests 
Cups were rising in thin air
And then emptied on the floor 
Suddenly the door was open and Grandma' said 
"Do come in My little friend" 
Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs 
If they could see me in Grandmother's chair 
Grandmother said "look Me deep in the eyes 
You will forget what You saw here tonight" 
"I will let You in on the secret of this house 
The secret of Amon . . . that's what we call this house 
Now I want you to go back to sleep
Now go back to sleep My dear" 
The invisible guests 
Cups were rising in thin air
And then emptied on the floor 
Suddenly the door was open and Grandma' said 
"Now you must go back to sleep" 
"Go to sleep". . ."Go to sleep". . . 
"Go to sleep". . . 
Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs 
If they could see me in Grandmother's chair

Tea
On the following friday as I turned out the light
Grandma' came and knocked at My door 
"Wake up King, wake up My dear 
I am gonna show You about the house of Amon" 
It is time for tea, it is time again 
"Even Your mother is present
We made her sleep in My rocking chair" 
At first I felt really scared but there was no reason to 
As I saw the knife sneaking out from Grandmother's dress 
Then it cut a tiny wound in My mother's little hand 
It is time for tea, it is time again 
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 
Hearing "THEIR" stories and feeling "THEIR" warmth
We laughed with tears in our eyes 
From the first cup of tea, to the last drop of blood 
Nothing seemed to matter at all anymore 
My Mother? She didn't exist to me, 
Oh I felt so heavenly 
It is time for tea, it is time again

Mother's getting weaker
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 
I think I heard My sister begging me to stay 
She gave me the phone, so I could call someone for help 
I simply let go of her hand, then I cut the wire 
Missy was crying as I left them both behind 
And Mother's getting weaker, Missy shouted at My back 
"I hate You"

Bye, bye Missy
Tea 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 
Missy was screaming 
"What have You done, what have you done to My Ma",
crying louder now 
"We better get rid of her, She's too young anyway"
It was Grandma' who spoke 
"Bye, bye Missy, be gone forever 
The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen will do" 
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma' wrinkled hands 
"Oh No, let me be, Oh No Please No 
Grandma' Please 
Aagh Grandma' You're hurting me. 
Don't touch me or I'll break it, I've got the tea pot
I'll do it anyway" 
I saw liquid spreading, the bloody tea all over the floor 
Now I heard "THEIR" voices, some kind of demon growls 
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE 
"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

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 
The spell was broken, I really felt the change 
As my mind and body became one again 
The moon was alive with its silvery eye 
Staring right into My evil heart I went back to see
If My Grandma' was still there 
Waiting for me in the attic... Oh I hate that bitch
				
top

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 ourselves 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" 
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

"Them"
[Instrumental]

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 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 
I haven't seen My Mother
Since they took me away 
And Dr. Landau wouldn't tell me 
He wouldn't tell me anything 
Oh I'm back on the outside 
Time has caught up with me
And I must leave for the old house 
Yes I must leave now 
Grandma'... I'm coming 
I'm coming home now 
I'm coming home now
				
top

Comming home
"Grandma'?" 
"I knew it was You at the door,
I saw you from the window.
Now come inside My dear.
It's good to see You again,
despite what You did to MY throat.
"THEY" are waiting upstairs. 
Come. Missy is there too.
She's sitting on Grandpa's lap.
I bet You're dying for a cup of tea."

Phone call
"Hello, King." 
"Who . . . who's this?" 
"It's your grandmother." 
". . . but . . .you're dead . . ." 
"In a way, yes. Now listen . . .
Are you still there?" 
"I . . . I'm still here, Grandma . . . yes . . ." 
"Come to the old house tonight.
There're quite a few people here
Who'd love to see you . . ." 
"Stop it! Bitch! It's starting all over again . . . ."
