1. Halloween (John Carpenter cover)
2. Ada (Behind the Red Door)
Lost behind the red door
in the flooded basement
awakened by the sound of her
creeping across wet pavement
coming closer, slowly towards me
but she just disappears
is she trapped within these walls...
forever weeping in fear?
Ada! Is that you whispering?
...so softly, the words make no sense
Ada! Feel you breathing against my skin,
I am frozen by your presence.
Within these freezing shadows
she cries for no one to hear
she waits, curled underneath the stairs
I can feel her falling tears.
Looking down, i sense her gaze
staring back, up through the cracks
she can not sleep, her blood it seeps
up through the concrete black.
Ada! Is that you whispering?
...so softly, the words make no sense
Ada! I feel you breathing against my skin,
I am frozen by your presence.
I will be with you...
I can feel you near...
I will join you soon...
Prisoner of demonic greed
why wont they let you sleep?
is this Hell? is this your punishment?
forever... wandering.
Knock three times. Knock three times...
Knock three times if you can hear me...
Knock three times if you can see me...
Knock three times if you are present...
Knock three times if you can feel me...
Knock three times if you are shadow...
Knock three times if you can tell...
Knock three times if this is heaven...
Knock three times if this is hell...
3. The Figurehead (Cure cover)
Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
4. Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath cover)
What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn 'round quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh no!
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watch those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!
Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
Yes people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!
5. Suspiria (Goblin cover)
