4. From the Other Side
5. Voodoo







1. Moonlight

In the moonight
I see children searching for their souls
In the moonlight, can you hear them howling on the wind
Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We know you are there"
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine
In the moonlight, not a bird is singing lullabyes
In the moonlight, I hear a church bell ring its evil song
Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We know you are there"
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine
In the moonlight............. In the moonlight..................
Night after night, I see them passing by
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine
In the moonight
I see children searching for their souls
In the moonlight
I hear screams of pain from a thousand years ago
Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home
Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home
To their home
In the moonlight.............. In the moonlight..................




2. LOA House

1932, North of Baton Rouge
Louisiana nights are darker than before
Along the Mississippi, that is where it is
The old colonial house, a mansion if you will
White as snow, the mansion still seems to have its glow
And when the moon is full and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
Jean Le Noir, the first to own this house
He was a voodoo priest, a Houngan so they say
The voodoo cemetery, that is where he is
Died at the hand of an evil Bocor’s will
They say..., he's been walking the house ever since that day
And when the moon is full and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
solos: Andy-Herb
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
7 days ago... the Lafayetted moved in
Sarah is with child and David is the man
This is no Abigail, this child will survive
And Grandfather dear, why did they bring him here?
White as snow, that is all he sees, oh he's been blind for years
solo: Andy
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
And when the moon is full and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
And again...and again...and again... and again...




3. Black Hill Sanitarium

I have been in here for way too long
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will
I have seen the sickness of all mankind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here
Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
I am going down, deep into the black of my mind
I've had enough
Therapy in little rooms, I'm lying down in my cocoon
Nothing here could end too soon, I'm lying down
Oh God, I hate those men in white
Oh, those men in white, sticking needles in my mind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes
This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here
Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears




4. From the Other Side

I don't know if I'm dead or alive
All I know is I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
Someone down there is saving my life
I see a tear being shed by THE EYE
Oh, drifting much higher... Oh, into the light
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
I see the strangest faces
Faces that I've never seen before
They see through empty spaces
Spaces that do not exist no more
I swear by the moon and the devil
I'll be their guardian if they will be mine
There's a demon with red glowing eyes
He's invading the body that was mine
Oh, Is there still time... Oh, Time to return
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
I guess I wasn't ready yet
'cause someone there is calling me back from the dead
Demon, demon, are you there
Demon, demon, leave my lair
From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
WAKE UP!!!




5. Voodoo

Saturday evening
A narrow path runs along the river
From the burial ground you might see it
Leading to a temple of secrets
Where they meet once a week..to dance and feast
Lula is dancing to the voodoo drums
Twisting, turning, round and round
She is ready to receive the LOA
She is ready for the God
This one is Damballah
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
oodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Total emptiness inside
As Damballah gets ready for her ride
Casting out from Lula's head
One of two souls that seems to be dead
Travelling deep in a trance
Lula's legs are getting weak
The LOA has seized its horse"...sssssss
solo: Dime
Lula is not the one that's speaking now
Lula is not the one that's lying down
Drink, drink girl, drink the chicken's blood
Drink, drink girl, drink and feed the God
lf this is all you think they do, oh you better think again
'Cause there is so much more to voodoo, oh than meets the eye
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Human hair on waxen dolls, pins through their knees
Pins through their little heads, and through their bellies
Ahh they're coming to get you, they're coming for you
Ahh they're coming to get you, they're coming for you now
solo: Andy
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo... Voodoo...
