Out From The Asylum
Look,the old bitch is back - yeah, finally we'll got some company again the attic room has been locked up for too long - just like the old bitch herself - she's on time thought - 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 an 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
(solo:Pete) 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's 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? (solo:Andy) Grandma' what was it like to be on that holiday site "Oh it is 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 to My friend
The Invisible Guests
(solo:Pete solo:Andy) 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 (solo:Pete) As I stood there alone in the dark Peeking through the keyhole, couldn't believe My eyes 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 My little friend" (solo:Pete) Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs If they could see me in Grandmother's chair (solo:Andy) 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 My dear" The invisible guests (solo:Andy solo:Pete solo:Andy solo:Pet Cups were rising in thin air and then emptied on the floor Suddenly the door was open and Grandma' said: Now I want you to go back to sleep My dear" "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 up at My door "Wake up King,wake up My dear I am gonna show you about the house of Amon" It's time for tea,it's 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's time for tea,it's time again (solo:Pete) 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 What I saw and what I heard made me want stay and learn I really hope this dream will never end
it's hard to describe the kind of feeling that went on My mind A paradise (solo:Pete solo:Andy) 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's time for tea,it's 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, filling 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 (solo:Andy solo:Pete solo:Andy) I think I heard My sister begging me to stay She gave me phone, so I could call someone for help I simply let go of her hand, the 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 nightdown Swaying up the stairs,up the stairs, it seemed so unreal I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM" again, the invisible friends A little later at the middle of tea we came close to ecstasy "THEY" were telling tales from beyond when Grandma's 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 to young anyway",it was Grandma' who spoke "Bye,bye Missy,be gone forever The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen will do" (solo:Andy solo:Pete) 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 of 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 devil's growls DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE (solo:Pete solo:Andy) "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' 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 feel 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 through the cellar door Up the stairs to the kitchen... Then I passed out (solo:Andy) 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 (solo:Pete) The spell was broken, I really left the change As my mind and body became one again
The moon was alive with it's silvery eye Staring night 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
The Accusation Chair
I kind of know 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 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" (solo:Andy solo:Pete) Nowhere to hide,Grandma' had died Alone in the night Ant "THEY" were waiting for me, waiting inside Hoping that I would come back in But I just run 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
Acoustic Guitar:Andy La Rogue
Twilight Symphony
Morning came and so did they, flying questions form the police I'm waiting here in an ambulance for Dr.Landau To return and tell me why they're talking me so far away "I did what I did and I glad I did,
'cos I could have been the... I could have been the next in line" Nobody found a trace of Missy I'd be the last to tell them anyway Now 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 open neck Blood still running from My open mouth
I knew they would blame it, they would blame it all on me Now 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 anyway now, the boy has lost his mind" Oh no no (solo:Andy) I never seen My Mother since they took me away And Dr.Landau wouldn't tell me He wouldn't tell me anything Oh I am back on the outside (solo:Pete) Time was 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
Coming Home
"Grandma'?" "I know 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 Grandma's lap. I bet You're dying for a cup of tea."
