4. The Funeral
5. Plea of Insanity
1. Haunted House
Look into the path
As it leads to the unknown
Weeping willows hallow
You feel you're almost home
Stranger In the town
Yet You've been here before
Trapped in the prison
Still you come to me
You're Asking these questions
Of the unknown origin
Terrifying mansion
Burning in the path
Come inside, take a look around
Come inside, take a look around
This poltergeist enchantment
Has you wrapped up in a Scream
You're broken in this terror
Your Faded burning hell
Come inside, take a look around
Come inside, take a look around
2. Written on the Walls
On the night the darkness fell
Across the naked land
A demon force was summoned up
From the bowels of hell
The stench of death grew thick that night
We knew it was the end
We run to find a place to hid
The land was raped and bare
The wind it blows a eerie cold
A fog that never lifts
Their tears will flood the land tonight
And the thunder's drowned by screams
As I lay here
Freezing veins of ice
What will be for me
What will be the price
Is it what they say
Is it written on the walls
Why can't we stop
This shattered worlds' fate
Why didn't we try at all
Armageddon town life is gone
We knew it was the way
Written down so long ago
Implanted in our minds
Our fathers told us of this hell
They read it on the walls
It's written on the walls
It's written on the walls
The frightened children know not why
And no one will explain
We've brought it all upon ourselves
An ending to this world
Forgiveness for your soul you pray
But it's written on the walls
3. Life and Death
I came into this world
A screaming infant
Forced entry into this life
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me
As I grow the pain sustains
Deep inside my soul
Visions come and visions go
But hate will never leave me
Life and death never again
I shall not return
Soul sucking pious man
I shall not return
The reflection, an aging soul
My body's old and cracked
Death soon will be with me
Coldness, inactive pain
Soul sucked at the speed of light
Trapped in someone else
No please not again
Evil reincarnated
The cycle's spun once more
Soul sucked at the speed of light
4. The Funeral
5. Plea of Insanity
