House of God

Upon the cross he did not die, they tortured him but he survived. Smuggled across the open sea to southern France tranquility. There he married Magdalene and founded another dynasty. A church was built upon a hill to serve all of the Gods at will.

I'd been riding hard most of the night wooded ravines on a mountain side, my horse was getting tired and so was I. Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled, the trees were so much higher than they were meant to be. In what is known as the Devil's Hide I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above, oh no I could feel the trees have eyes. The trees have eyes! I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before but now it seemed so different, the road was no more. I was lost so I stopped and looked around and I had this eerie feeling that I was being watched. In what is known as the Devil's Hide I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above, oh no I could feel the trees have eyes. The trees have eyes, watching me! The trees have eyes, watching me. Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon, eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around. So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones, one wolf grown to a dozen and here I was alone. Yellow eyes, they were everywhere. Yellow eyes as I prepared to die. Then suddenly there she was in a halo of light, then suddenly there she was, silvery black and white. The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine, never ever had I seen in a wolf such a beautiful beast. In what is known as the Devil's Hide I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above, oh no I could feel the trees have eyes.

And the morning slowly came, my life about to end, then the wind would change, all but one had left. The angelic wolf had stayed, without a word she said: "Follow me, follow the wolf!" So I followed the wolf up the wooded mountain side, close to the top she suddenly stopped. Sun to the east, man and beast, just two silhouettes in a landscape never to forget. Like dark decaying teeth I saw the village beneath and few and distant roads, all leading away from here. Nobody in the streets, decay! I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her until the end. The wolf had turned around, facing higher ground and there it was, the house of God, in awe I looked as time had stopped Follow me! I had never seen a church like this before, "This Place is terrible" inscribed above the door. Like dark decaying teeth I saw the church within, a few distant thoughts inviting me in to sin. Nobody in the church, decay! Shrouded in a gloomy light as if my final night. I wonder if God was ever here or did he turn away in fear? Did he turn away in fear?

Once inside everything would change before my eyes, no more decay. Glorious beauty had taken its place but in horror I watched as the wolf began its skin to shed, I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next. To the floor it fell the crucifix! The wolf was no more a beast instead a lady only dreams can create, creeping deep into the heart I never had. "I'll love you forever, never leave!" It was love at first sight, in true love there is no wrong or right. I didn't care from where she came, just her name: Angel. Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone? Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God I found true love. Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God I found true love. "I'll love you forever, never leave!" Plenty of food and wine, so we laughed and we dined. We made love in the holiest of places, all the passion, it made us crazy. "I'll love you forever, never leave". To the floor it fell the crucifix! The wolf was no more a beast instead a lady only dreams can create, creeping deep into the heart I never had. I didn't care from where she came, just her name: Angel. Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone? Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God I found true love. Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God I found true love. Angel, where are you now?

There he was, that little man sitting by the altar. Black Devil, carved in stone so dark and cold. Black Devil help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on. It was the early morning of the seventh day, I had been making love to Angel in every single way. The sun was peeking through a window high above, that's when I saw her kiss the little Devil on his head. Black Devil if you could only speak, Black Devil what do you see when you're looking at me? There he was, that little man, fingers spread like claws. Black Devil, I wonder what it is he knows. Black Devil help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on. Black Devil, if you could only speak, Black Devil what do you see when you're looking at me? When I look around this church on holy ground, there are things within that should have never been. Why two pulpits in a place like this, one facing to the east and the other to the west. One of the guilded canopies have gargoyles in the sun and on the other canopy I see demons having fun. Black Devil if you could only speak, Black Devil what do you see when you're looking at me? Black Devil always near, why don't you want me here? I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know. Black Devil, what's going on?

Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees and black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on. Inside the confessional Angel and I are playing games, I'm acting the priest and she is the sinner of all my dreams. Dreams turn into a nightmare, a sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without a trace. "Nothing, nothing is forever", she said. "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear. A year ago I signed a sacred pact and if you love me so will you!" Then she told me of the pact, her tears were not an act and they were not alone. All my dreams shattered to the bone, I fell to my knees in prayer but this is Hell. The pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out unless within a year someone else will sign it in blood. Someone to take your place to guard this evil church, another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf in for the kill. "Nothing, nothing is forever", she said. "So many things are wrong in here and so many times I've lived in fear. A year ago I signed a sacred pact!" If I sign it now Angel will be free to go, she must leave without her memory, no more a wolf but as a lady. If I don't then in seven days she will die before my very eyes, either way I'll never see her again. If I sign then I must stay and only leave as a wolf for prey. "Nothing, nothing is forever", she said. "So many things are wrong in here and so many times I've lived in fear. A year ago I signed a sacred pact!" Now I'm signing it for you!

So many tears in my eyes, I have to look away, how can I say the word that never should be said. I lay my broken heart to rest and so I set you free, I wish you only the best even if it's not with me. Fly away, beautiful Angel fly away to better things. Beautiful Angel fly away to better things, fly away.

And again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down, no one to share with, no one to care with. The only light in my life comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind. As I'm sitting through the night, I'm so cold and dark inside. Angel, your memory will haunt me until the day I die. Just a shadow, a shadow of a man, I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man. Eyes of statues standing along the nave, they seem to follow my every move. Every tear I shed! I am no longer of the living but I am still not dead. I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen. Must we have the other side just to feel alive? I wonder what would be, had we not created me. Just a shadow, a shadow of a man, I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man. Eyes of statues standing along the nave, they seem to follow my every move. They drive me insane! Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine. I try to remember all that once was mine. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but if life is so divine how come I suffer so in mine? How come I suffer in mine? Eyes of statues standing along the nave, They seem to follow my every move. They drive me insane! I am no longer of the living but I am still not dead. I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen. I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate up until the other day. That's when I left this sick old world behind. Oh how love can make you blind!

Help, help, can anybody help me now? Help, help, my mind is lying on the ground. I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive, I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same. I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all I have, I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same. Help, help, can anybody help me now? Help, help, my mind is lying on the ground. In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall, I see misery take another hold of me. I'm hanging on to a memory, I'm hanging on to myself. The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour, never to be free. Crsed for eternity! I'm hanging on to a memory, I'm hanging on to me. Be it God or Satan, whoever you are you're hiding in the shadowsand you cursed me with the Devil's mark. I'm hanging to a memory and I'm hanging on to myself. The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour. Never to be free, cursed for eternity, I'm hanging on to a memory, I'm hanging on to me. Help, help, I'm slowly going mad. Help, help, emptiness is all I have. I smash the mirrors, the mirrors on the wall. I have to smash them all before they crush my soul. Help, blood, I'm bleeding now, help, I'm bleeding bad, I'm bleeding on the floor, help, help, I can't take this anymore.

What was that sound? I slowly turn around, something moved, a void of darkness in the floor, where the altar stood. I move a little closer 'cause I cannot see from where I stand. Blood still running down my arm from all the cuts in my hands. I must enter the unholy cell, I must enter a passage to Hell. Someone is ringing the bell but there is only me, there is no one else. I think I hear a voice from deep within the hole. I wonder who could be in there, the strong smell of old. I must enter the unholy cell and I must enter a passage to Hell. I can barely see the stairs below, stairs on which I know my feet must go.

Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul. Cryptic messages written on the floor. Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore. Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes. Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die. I see shadows walking straight and tall. I don't know how they move, dancing on the walls. Presence of fear, a presence so near. I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark. Human bones in little chambers, all along the narrow halls. Catacomb, death over life. Catacomb, am I here to die? I see a light, I push some bones aside. Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow. Could this be a doorway to another world or darkness, playing tricks with my little mind? The virgin Mary is standing tall. A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall. Her face is peeling from all the years gone by. Is it just a statue or is it what I'm looking for? I break her face and see another one instead. The mummy's face appears as the bandages they fall. Dried out face with hate upon me gaze. How grotesque the mummy wears a crown of thorns. From the empty sockets where its eyes should be, an entity of light is pouring out towards me. Then the sound, Jesus Christ, what have they done to you? I'm running for my life, I'm running from the night. But it's so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much. Satan help me, help me God. Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear. Cold winds from far beyond the dark chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck. Human bones in little chambers, all along the narrow halls. Catacomb, death over life. Catacomb, am I here to die? I know I'm here to die!

I'm back in the church, night has taken over. I'm breathing hard in the dark. Through the hole in the floor, I hear the winds from the catacomb. Here it comes, out of the hole, a magnificent light blinding the entire church. Contorted faces and bodies too, powerful entity floating high above. I was no more scared of dying, but I was terrified of knowing the truth. I don't want to, but I have to, I have to know who you are. "You have entered where no human must go. You have seen the lie, the lie about the cross. I am many, we are one, the highest. You'll never know why We kept him here, the one who did not die on the cross. Could it be we kept him away from God? So that he may never walk, never walk the earth again? Or could it be that we've kept him safe from you? So you may never try to do again what you did back then. I guess it all depends on who you are I guess it all depends on who you really are. God and Satan are just puppets on our strings. Creating conflicts in your little human minds, keeping us alive. It doesn't matter who or what you think we are. It only matters that you know We are God, the Devil, good and evil. We're all that and so much more. Live this life the best you can and leave the rest to us". But I can't, I won't be one that feeds an unknown God. Show to mankind that you really exist and then explain to us the meaning of chaos. Give us reason to persist, to go on living through this Hell on earth. All I want is peace of mind from all you non existing Gods. I bet that not even you will ever understand the truth. Because you are nothing but a puppet on even a higher string. Your unholy eyes, I wanna sew them shut. Oh, you meaningless little God and so I choose death over you. Up, up the grey cold stairs, up into the tower of Hell. With a rope in my hand, I'm searching for the unknown land. Father of the Universe. Father, here I come, this place is terrible.
