Missy I miss you so, oh little sister. I wish you'd come back to me and sit by my side, we'd laugh and we'd play again if only you'll try. You know "They" would show the way from the other side, rise from your grave little sister. Rise, rise, rise my friends, rise! Spirits rising from their grave, burning shadows in the dead of night. Icy fingers all over my hand try to make me understand. "Finally we have returned, all of us!" Missy is that you, come closer! Spirits rising from their grave, everywhere that ghostly stare. Icy fingers all over my hand lead Ame back to where she stands. "They" are back to share my life, "They" are back! Missy come, come with me, there are things I must know. How did you get here and where is the door to the other side? "Beyond the graves lies the gate, the gate that leads to the dead. We have to leave before the dawn if not by the sun we will burn". Spirits rising from their grave, soon the dawn will chase the dark away. Icy fingers all over my hand lead me back to where "They" stand. Am I glad you have returned, all of you? Do you remember when Grandmother said she heard "Them" sing? I've heard "Them" too and I really wish I could hear "Them" again. "In your mind you'll hear "Them" Asing every night at the graves. We have to leave before the dawn if not by the sun we will burn, now sing!" Show your powers onto me!

I can not sleep at night. That's what the day is for anyway. As the clock strikes midnight I hear "Them" dancing at the graves. Singing to my mind, killing the pain. Sleepless nights. Sleepless nights. I can not sleep at night. That's what the day is for anyway. As the clock strikes midnight, only "They" can let us meet. Even though she's dead now, I gotta see her again. Sleepless nights. Sleepless nights. I can not sleep at night. I will do anything to see Missy again. "Then let us make you an eternal deal, you will attend to the graves. You'll give us the house back and keep in mind that we only come here at night". So we made the deal under the starry night and "Amon" belongs to "Them" now. I feel the dawn coming my way. As the sun breaks up the dark I can't hear "Them" dance no more. There's no voices, killing the pain.

Yesterday I spent an hour. A full hour in therapy. My favourite Doctor Landau. My God, I hate his breath. He asked me questions, that kind of fool deserves a lie. I gave him answers, the kind of answers Doctors like. Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies. I told him all my nightmares Were dead and gone. "These days I sleep like a baby and there never ever was a "Them". He asked me questions, that kind of fool deserves a lie. I gave him answers, the kind of answers Doctors like. The Doctor looked at my eyes. "No trace of insanity. Maybe the time is right now to have a visit from the family. I'm thinking of your Mother. What does my little patient say?". I should have taken his stethoscope and then forced it down his throat. My Mother was at stake, so I behaved. That night I cleaned the entire house, for everything but the memories. No dust, no tea, ah stupid me. I even took the axe away. The sun is up and it's time for bed. I'm so tired, I can't wait no more.
It must be summer, the sky is clear. The garden is so beautiful. All the flowers and all the trees make me feel like they're inside of me. I'm holding my sister's hand while we're playing in the sand. It's all but a dream. My bed is moving, I can not see a thing. I am in total darkness, someone is calling. I can feel the chill, it's all around me. I know it's not a dream. No, no, no. Someone is in my room, standing at the end of my bed. Must be a visit from the dead. Must be a visit from the dead. Now I see her figure, it's just a little child. There's no reflection, she's in the mirror. Could it really be, has she returned, my little sister? "King beware, something bad is coming your way. King beware". Must be a visit from the dead. Must be a visit from the dead. Missy will you tell me! You know we don't have no secrets. "Just beware". Must be a visit from the dead. Must be a visit from the dead. You've got to to tell me Missy! Come on now, spit out, girl. "I will send you a dream. I will send you a dream. I will send you a dream. I will send you a dream. I will send you a dream. I will send you a dream".

My Mother is entering my dream now. She's wearing a wedding dress. Something's wrong with the way she walks the aisle. I think it's her legs. Suddenly there is someone else beside her, that man I recognize. The Doctor intends to marry Mother, it's got to be stopped. Now what have I done? My Mother's on the floor and the Doctor's gone. Everything is wrong and as I keep the axe, I wonder what's to come. I'm caught within a dream there's no way out. I can't escape. If only I could see the light of day. I might escape the dream. The wedding dream. Oh, the dream. Now everything turns to darkness. Deep within I feel like I'm going blind. There is a light at the end of this starless nightmare. Someone's calling, guiding me back inside the dream, no. Get away from him Mother! You better stop kissing, 'cause he's an enemy. Take a look at his hand, he's got the key to my house. The Doctor is the devil! I'm caught within a dream there's no way out. I can't escape. If only I could see the light of day. I might escape the dream. The wedding dream. Oh, the dream. Dream. The wedding dream. Oh, the dream. Now everything turns to darkness. Deep within I feel like I'm going blind. There is a light at the end of this starless nightmare. Someone's screaming: "Help me please" and it's me. At sunrise I woke up in a sweat. The nightmare was gone. The dream I was sent is fading slowly. I do not understand.

Today my Mother will return to my house and all the things I've done. I've done to make her feel at home again. Oh, it's all part of an act. She can stay as long as I keep the pact. There's someone ringing at my front door bell. I see my Mother there standing with the man I wanna send to hell. "Oh King, see who came along". Ma, you don't understand, it's all part of the deal. There's no way I can let him inside. You see "Amon" belongs to "Them". "You go ahead and have a talk with the boy my dear. You better bring this along, something might go wrong inside". Come on Mother let me show you the house. Come on Mother there's a lot to discuss. "Oh King, please let him in". Ma, you don't understand, it's all part of the deal. There's no way I can let him inside. You see "Amon" belongs to "Them". Now let me tell you what I've seen in the house lately. I've seen your daughter here, coming and going when the dark is near. You must never ever tell anyone what I've told. I have hear "Them" singing too. Hey Mother what's that for? Oh I feel the needle piercing my skin and I'm falling, yes I'm falling down.

This track is instrumental.
A little later in the day, Mother and the Doctor went away. They left me lying on the floor. Heading for the local church, not a trace of guilt in their eyes. The Reverend Sammael, he is the venom of God himself and so easy to convert. Conspiracy, I'm being victimized again. Knocking at the preacher's door, none of them were ever here before. Sammael, God in his eyes, leads them into the silent room. Oh such a holy gloom. "Priest, do you remember King, the loony one? The one who killed his Grandma' up on the hill?". "Yes I do". Conspiracy. "Now he's back, the loony one". Talking to the preacher for a while, the Doctor turned him into a child. Sammael, God in his eyes, swallowed everything the Doctor said. Oh in the gloom of the night. "From what you tell me we can not save him. It could be Satan himself or some evil demon. Let us not waste any time, the demon might twist our minds. We must go and do what must be done". Conspiracy! Conspiracy, I am being victimized again. Victimized! So they left the church, conspiracy of the cursed. Through the dark and the rain, the priest was mildly insane. A crucifix in his hand. Oh, no! "Soon the house belongs to us my dear and King will be gone forever, isn't it just heaven?".

[Doctor:] "Who's gonna set fire to the coffin?". [Priest:] "I think you and your wife to be should do it together, while I keep the demon inside with my crucifix". [Doctor:] "So it's into the coffin, use the torch and then we put the remains into his sister's grave, right?". [Priest:] "Yes, let it be done".

Whenever the dark is near, I will return from the grave to haunt you, godforsaken whore.
