I warned my imaginary friend not to come out again

Daddy’s getting edgy. Mommy doesn’t sleep at night

But he doesn’t listen to me. He’s got an evil brain

He waits for his moment and then turns off all the lights

He’s got a plan for tonight when the full moon comes out

It isn’t far away. The plan will be executed anytime soon

I can already hear Mommy and Daddy shout

Oh wait, there. There’s the full moon

‘Twas last year on this very day

Giant rats flooded the streets

It seemed they found a place to play

As they tore the town to bits

Found in every nook and corner

Of houses, stores and bus

The town was pretty soon taken over

With no piper to save us

And when the damage was complete

A loss of thousand lives or more

The rats they knelt at my feet

I took them to the shore

On our way I thought of a man

The piper of Hamelin

And my mind hatched a plan

To kill them would be a sin

To a chemical lab we detoured

An army I did grow

A hundred towns we secured

It all started a year ago

I read a news the other day

About an empty town

All the folks they stay away

For a ghost comes around

…

I also read about a family

Happy and tightly-knit

All of them died mysteriously

They blame it on a spirit

…

I heard a horror story

Yesterday on the radio

A sweet girl named Dorie

Vanished in the middle of her show

…

I don’t know what to make of it

‘Tis a tremendous shame

They’re calling me all sorts of things

They really could use my name

I used to play with a little doll

With a little doll I used to play

They took away my little doll

I took them all away

At a time when babies weep
And men are dead and women; asleep
Silence creeps and darkness nears
A mystical voice touches my ears
A soft humming voice that never grows too big
But pounds my mind to cause intrigue
I know not where the secret lies
I’ve searched the land and the open skies
Moments later, the sound is gone
So’s my sleep without a yawn
Gone to play and cause divide
Haunt now people on the other side

I have visions of a starry night and a flight of golden stairs that lead me to it

The chimes and the times are my prison

The winds they blow

The clouds they snow

And I am climbing with no reason

A familiar voice in my head calls out to me asking me not to quit

…

A dead cave I come across which leads me to the darkness of a darker soul

The queens and a slave open the cave

Silence deafens

Golden weapons

And I am riding along the wave

The echoes of a familiar voice inside my head is consumed by a hole

…

Where am I now?

Where do I go?

Am I trapped in this for eternity? Lost beyond recovery?

Is this a nightmare?

Am I all alone?

Someone please wake me up. I don’t want to stay asleep

Would you take my hand?

Join me in this realm?

We will find a door

Amidst the darkness
