SPARE THIS LIFE

(Diamond/Diamond)

“I, O’Brian of the Black Horsemen, forbid this sacrilege

You all know that this Demon Child has Abigail’s spirit

Inside

But what you don’t know is

That she is the reincarnation of my stillborn half-sister

Her spirit is not EVIL, nor is it GOOD

All it wants, is to make things right again

So spare this life, through which revenge can be mine

And Abigail can find her final peace

I, O’Brian, have spoken

Let it be done”

THE STORM

(Diamond/Diamond)

18 was yesterday today she was

A woman in every single way

Abigail was walking in the forest where

The darkness, it seems to be alive

It was hours ago that she left her home

The chapel in which Black Horsemen saved and raised her soul

And now in the darkest night a storm was born

And Abigail, she did not know…she was its prey

Solo: Andy

In the storm itself a monster came alive

Chasing Abigail, lightning from the sky

Ah…then her face turned white

Never did she see the EYE that cried

Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain...rain…rain

Turning red

“Oh no”… “Let me go back to my home”… “Oh no”… “Oh…”

solo: Mike

God he looked away the night the storm it came

And Abigail was drawn into the rain

Rain…was pulling on her hair

To where there is a mansion…THE LAIR

Lurking in the dark when lightning struck again

The mansion showed itself…in silhouette

Solo: Mike

Ah…rusty iron gates

This is where the Little One she waits

Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain…rain…rain

Turning red

“Oh no”… “Let me go back to my home”… “Oh no”… “Oh…”

Seeing the Little One…knowing that she was a ghost…

Abigail wondering why she was

Mummified…a lantern in her hand

And in the light she saw a name: Count de La Fey

MANSION IN SORROW

(LaRocque/Diamond)

Mansion in Sorrow, mansion in the dark

Maybe tomorrow the Devil’s mark

The gates were locked from the inside

And Abigail was sure to die

Then Little One went straight through her body

And the gates, they opened wide

And Little One went up the stairs to the old oak door

Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark

Maybe tomorrow the Devil’s mark

Solo: Mike

Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark

Maybe tomorrow the Devil’s mark

Lightning was striking the trees all around

Abigail still in shock, awoken by the sound

Run better run, run better run after Little One

Run better run, run after Little One

But Little One had gone, gone to the beyond

Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark

Solo: Andy

Suddenly the door was open, “Where have you been my dear?

I’m Brandon Henry and I serve the master here”

Through a maze of gloomy hallways and candles black

Safe from the storm she followed the man with the shaven head

They went in…to a room…that was like a shrine

Jewelry and dresses too…in cabinets made of glass

Portraits on the walls, 18 in all

A strong scent of old perfume, and then there was THE HAIR

Long…black…lifeless hair

MIRIAM

(Diamond/Diamond)

Curtains of black were inside the room

Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes

There was nothing bright in this entire mansion…no, no

Except for the candlelight…the light…and the fire that burned real slow

Oh Miriam…why did you have to go and die?

Curtains of black were inside the room

Abigail was not alone, there was someone else in here too

“Come closer dear”, said the shadow in the wheelchair

“Stand by the fireplace, so I can better see your face”

Oh Miriam…why did you have to go and die?

Solo: Mike

The shadow could not believe, the likeness in her face

It looked as if his Miriam had come back from the grave

“I am Count de La Fey, and you are?”

“Abigail”, she whispered and shivered to the bone

“Can I?”, he said “Can I…can I call you Miriam”?

“Miriam…or Abigail is fine

You can even call me Lucy for it is just a name”

He struggled out of the wheelchair

Since his fall many years ago

Now he could only walk by a cane, what a shame

Solo: Andy

“Don’t move! Stay where you are”, and then he was right behind her

Touching her long black hair, he was breathing much harder now

Then he grabbed her head

In pain she screamed as he

Yanked out a lock of that beautiful hair, oh dear oh dear oh dear

He quickly struggled across the floor to a smaller cabinet

Behind glass doors it said : “To My beloved Dear”

It was then he started to compare, and she saw the other HAIR

In his twisted mind, she was back, but why?

“I must retire my dear in order to prepare

You should do the same, tomorrow an heir”

LITTLE ONE

(Diamond/Diamond)

“Mommy…mommy…mommy…mommy”

Solo: Mike

Later that night in her room, Abigail was drifting of to sleep

All of what she had seen today, was hard to believe

Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain

Yeah the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy

And that’s a shame

Abigail was quickly on her feet

Down the stairs and into the dark, Abigail was following the sound

And there she was: THE CHILD

It was clearly a ghost…the ghost from the gate in the storm

“Little girl, tell me who you are”

“I am your spirit twin from years ago, I’m LITTLE ONE”

That brought back memories of Abigail when turning six

Sneaking out of bed, like she always did

Solo: Andy

Hiding in the dark, listening to the men

Tell their stories from way back then

She remembered the story of Jonathan

And they’d been talking about the Little One

Solo: Mike

Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain

Yeah the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy

And that’s a shame

Abigail she knew she had to stay

Saving Little One and breaking the chain…breaking the chain

SLIPPERY STAIRS

(LaRocque/Diamond)

Solo: Andy

“Wake up Abigail,” midday, Henry was at her door

The Count would not rise ‘til the afternoon and lunch was for two

So they talked about Miriam and then Abigail said:

“What about Little One?”

Henry froze: “Oh, you mean our ghost?”

“Downstairs on the lowest floor

That’s where you will find THE DOOR
Beyond which there are slippery stairs

Leading down to the crypt

And Little One sleeps there during the day

But at night she’ll rise, searching for her Mom

Don’t you ever go there at night, it’s a sinister place

There’s so much pain, so much death, so much nothingness”

Solo: Andy

When night time came on the second day and dinner it was done

Jonathan’s headache it was gone

“Miriam please take my hand”, then his mood really changed

“Time is right to produce an heir”

Solo: Mike

Playing along with his eerie game she followed him up the stairs

Up to a room where love they would share

To a room that smelled as if Miriam was still in there

Solo: Mike

Jonathan was a hideous sight

So Abigail she killed the candlelight

What was to come, should have never been done

She was blocking her mind from his awful thing

In her mind his moaning became

Nothing but falling on slippery stairs

Falling and crying, crawling and dying

At the end of the stairs

Her eyes turned black in disgust

Hating him more with every thrust

And then it was over before it began

He was done…oh what a man

The only time he would call her MINE

THE CRYPT

(Diamond/Diamond)

The moon is outside but it can’t get in

Almost dead from his nightly sin

Jonathan is deep asleep, a perfect time…to visit the keep

Down the hallway to the lair, down down the slippery stairs

Abigail is in the crypt, a lantern in her hand

The secret of the crypt

A coffin made for a child, wondering who is inside

Oh Abigail…and off comes the lid

The smell of sick

Mummified infant on its side

A name was cut deep in the lid with a knife

And it said: Abigail

Solo: Andy

A silvery necklace was round the mummy’s neck

It had wings and was sharpened round the edge

“What are you doing here”, Henry had come in unseen

Abigail pulled on the necklace and the little mummy’s head

Was separated clean from it’s tiny neck

Then up up up, up into his throat

Twisting and turning it, ah she couldn’t stop

Brandon Henry was going down in a pool of blood

He was on the ground

Solo: Mike

There’s an eerie glow in the crypt down below

Mummified infant on its side

“Gotta go…gotta run…I’ll be back for you Little One”

In the crypt Abigail’s twin is searching for a home

Abigail’s twin is searching for her Mom

But Mommy’s in the floor and it’s made of stone

Her mommy’s in the floor and she doesn’t know

Oh she doesn’t know, she doesn’t know

Will she ever know………

BROKEN GLASS

(Diamond/Diamond)

The storm was gone, but dark clouds still hung around

The perfect setting for things to come, late afternoon

She was still in bed after her visit to the crypt

Someone was calling Henry’s name

Or was it only in her dream?

A dream of breaking glass, glass cutting into flesh

Rain turning red, blood running for the dead

Solo: Andy

Again she heard a name…it was louder, but the same

Jonathan was fighting his way out of bed

J: “Where is Brandon Henry and why is he late?”

A: “He didn’t feel very well today

So I sent him back to bed and there he’ll stay

But I, my dear, will cater to your needs

For you I will be the hand, the hand that feeds”

Abigail obsessed with her revenge

Her old spirit was back

It made her remember her dream of broken glass

“Use it in your scheme, the broken glass”

Solo: Mike

Broken glass crushed into sugar glace

Making dinner for Jonathan, Abigail was having fun

Would it be romantic dinner or slaughter of the lamb?

Would broken glass be cutting deep, deep into the flesh of a man?

Dinner was enjoyed by candlelight

And Jonathan was wearing his

Funeral suit, it put him in the right mood

Whatever it took, he would do

Outro solos: Andy

He was in love…he was in love again

He was in love…he was in love again

But Abigail would soon feed his love away

Feed his love away

“Dinner is served”

MORE THAN PAIN
(Diamond/Diamond)

In the dark she was so beautiful and white

Abigail was glowing like a diamond in the night

J: “I love you Miriam

…Oh my God…my stomach

…That hurts…there it is again…oh what pain

It’s like someone’s cutting me with a knife

…This is more than pain”

A: “Ah ha ha, I put broken glass in your dinner dear

It’s only getting worse from here

Time has come to say hello to fear

No more hiding from the sun, count the minutes as they run

Run away with life itself”

J: “What’s wrong with you Miriam?

I’m hurting, please help me”

A: “Ah ha ha ha, NO NO, you’re gonna die

This is so much more than pain, feel the Devil’s rain

No more hiding from the sun, count the minutes as they run

Run away with life itself”

J: “I can’t believe you’re doing this…to me

…My God…I’m bleeding through my mouth…

…What was that?…Oh No”

THE WHEELCHAIR

(Diamond/Diamond)

A: “What you did to my mother, trying to kill me inside of her

Miriam she died alright, but I’m still alive

I was the sister of your father’s in another life

The father you never knew, who saved me years ago

And now I’m looking at his son

A man and his wheelchair, living in the past

No room for life, only the dark

Solo: Andy

I was so close to the end…I will never forget the coffin and nails

But little Abigail is back again

So young and beautiful, while you are living in the past

A past so dark, there is no room for life itself

And all I see when I’m looking at you

Is where EVIL always LIVED and ruled

You almost killed me…and now you must pay

A man and his wheelchair, living in the past

No room for life, only the dark

Do you even know who the Hell it is

You are keeping in the crypt?…Do you?”

Fear and twisted hate, then the feeling of being betrayed

Overwhelmed him…

A: “That child is part of ME”

Solo: Mike

He had to get up, get up and out of the wheelchair

But without his cane, Oh he didn’t stand a chance

The cane was in her hand, she used it to push him back

Push him in the chest, she was ready for attack

Then a quick blow to his wrist, four five across his back

One last one hit him on the neck

A: “I can’t believe you’re still alive

My God”, she screamed, “I’ll teach you how to die

This should light up your worthless little life

Open up your eyes”

Then she lit the torch

His eyes were burning pain, she wanted to hear him scream

And this was not a dream

Abigail was out of control

She was laughing at his every scream

This was no more the clean revenge it should have been

Abigail was feeling like the ruler of Hell

The joy of causing pain

The wheelchair was really on fire

In the middle of dying, Jonathan’s charred body was

Falling down

SPIRITS
(LaRocque/Diamond)

Jonathan is dead

And Abigail is watching his wheelchair burn

The flames lick the wooden floor

Spreading to the curtains, and then the draperies on the walls

Higher and higher they go

“I am the fire…I’m eating everything

I’ll bring this mansion down, through me they all must come”

Spirits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

The ghosts of those who lived here in the past

They will use the flames to leave this EVIL house

Abigail is watching the spirits and the flames

Dancing hand in hand around her long black dress

Oh around and around they go, until they touch

Abigail is on fire

Solo: Mike

Sprits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

Solo: Andy

There is no pain as Abigail is eaten by the flames

Her body starts to fade, emptiness is growing inside

Slowly she’s leaving her body behind

And the spirits are right by her side

Solo: Andy

Oh no here she goes, her spirit is in the air

The others guide her to the flames where they all will disappear

Spirits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

Theme: Andy & Kol

But Abigail forgot one thing:

“Her own little twin”

MOMMY
(Diamond/Diamond)

You could see the fire burn, you could see the colours turn

From black to no return

The night began to cry, rain from the sky

As the mansion died

Oh no…it died…oh no…it died

Deep down below, fire would not go

The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

I wonder what is wrong

It’s so damp…and cold…in here, could this be the home of fear

There’s something in the dark, that should be left alone

As if it had a grave of it’s own

Solo: Mike

There’s a body on the floor, I hope there is no more

I think I’m stepping in blood

Too dark for me to see, a dark you only feel

A dark that always must be

I see a child…now I’m blind…where did she go? Oh no

Deep down below, fire would not go

The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

Where did she go? She must have slipped into the dark again

Not too far away, I see a light

And there is Little One, standing by the wall

The lantern in her hand is lighting up the coffin on the stand

Oh…

I used to know your sister, your eternal spirit twin

Oh but Abigail was way too busy with revenge

And now you’re stuck in here on your own

A lonely soul who’ll never ever find a home

Oh No

She cannot find her mommy, cause mommy’s in the floor

And she doesn’t even know…who her mother really is… oh no

Solo & outro solos: Andy

Only I and a few others know who her mother really is

The Countess…The Countess…The Countess

“Mommy…Mommy…”

Oh she cannot find her mommy

“Mommy…Mommy…”

Cause she’s buried in the floor

But it’s NOT your mommy you’re looking for

IT’S YOURSELF!!!

SORRY DEAR

(Diamond)

“I wanna go home…it’s so cold down here

I don’t like the dark

Where are you Mommy?

Mommiii…

Will I ever see you again?

Please come back and take me away from here”

“Sorry Dear”
