2 voices in my head
Haunt me night and day
One tells tales of horror
The other of decay
…
2 voices in my head
Do not let me sleep
They show me the consequences
Of the secrets that I keep
…
2 voices in my head
Torture my mind
One acts very selfish
The other acts unkind
…
2 voices in my head
Have found a home to stay
They’ll be with me forever
I know they won’t betray
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
She subscribed me to eternal darkness
My heart knows a silent place
‘Tis lonely and devoid of light
There I find my peace and space
…
Twenty three floors but no staircase
Not a living being in sight
My heart knows a silent place
…
The thoughts are left for me to chase
The birds sing so quiet
There I find my peace and space
…
Devil presents his fruitless case
No God to match his might
My heart knows a silent place
…
No single memory to erase
Windows, they whisper all night
There I find my peace and space
…
I wear a mask and hide my face
The roofs, they leak of fright
My heart knows a silent place
There I find my peace and space
Let me in, let me in
War’s about to begin
The hour cometh
The army’s marchin’
…
Let me in, let me in
I have done no single sin
Open up the gates now
Let me see what’s there within
…
Let me in, let me in
Hear me shoutin’ and screamin’
Save me from this torture
They want to burn my skin
…
Let me in, let me in
I’ve served my kith and kin
Read all of your scriptures
Come out and examine
…
Let me in, let me in
Every minute, I’m growing thin
I’m getting frail and tired
My body is achin’
…
Let me in, let me in
I deserve a place therein
I’d like to eat your fruits
And play the violin
…
Let me in, let me in
What am I missin’?
Eddie Price got in there
So did Catherine
…
Let me in, let me in
Silence is deafenin’
Bring out your arguments
Let’s see who finally wins
…
Let me in, let me in
I have done no single sin
Open up the gates now
Let me in, let me in
…
Let me in, let me in
War’s about to begin
The hour cometh
The army’s marchin’
Sometimes, it gets so lonely in the night
Without you to hold and show me the light
I promise you I would be all right
If you would be my queen, I’d be your knight
…
Sometimes, I get so upset and I don’t know why
I’m not myself no matter how hard I try
Not being with you is a good reason to die
If you were with me, I promise I won’t cry
…
I always feel so happy when I am with you
For all my little wishes seem to come true
There is nothing more that I would like to do
If you would love me, I’d love you too
I’ve seen historical monuments
I’ve seen the rainbow skies
But nothing is as beautiful
As the magic in your eyes
…
I’ve heard songs of love
From the morning birds
But nothing is music to me
Like the sound of your words
…
I’ve experienced God and his angels
A baby’s smile I’ve known
But nothing is as pure to me
As the heart that you own
