The Graveyard

Where am I? what am I doing here in this godforsaken graveyard? Yeah, that's what I'm doing, I remember now. This is my new home and they will never find me here.

I have been in here for way too long, 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, 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 are 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 and 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! Those men in white sticking needles in my mind, 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 are 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.

Just after midnight they are bringing me my pills, just after midnight lights are out at Black Hill. But they don't know me, they don't know me at all, tonight pills will be chills will be kills. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore. If I don't take my medication they will all be here but I think I fooled them, I think I'm in the clear. Nursie doesn't know this is her last night and she even brought the key that's gonna set me free. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore. Tonight I'm taking her instead, my hands are so much stronger than her isty-bitsy little head. Empty eyes are staring at the wall, I cannot hear her breathing anymore. I'm looking for the key in her hand, that bluish little hand. Running through the empty halls of this forgotten place, unlocking doors that never opens. But now I've got the key, the key to freedom, I'm unlocking doors that never should be opened. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night. Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore. 6,6,6 miles I've been running through the woods. 6,6,6 miles and now before me, the cemetery gates. I climb the gate between life and death, I walk upon the moonlit graves. I'm home!

I'm in a cold and lonely tomb, surrounded by darkness in my newfound home. I'm not alone anymore, alone anymore. I'm looking back at yesterday, I do remember my escape and what I had to do. Have to do, don't you see, don't you see? Heads on the wall, I'm looking at heads on the wall, dead yet alive. Heads on the wall, I'm looking at heads on the wall, heads! Did you know if you die in a graveyard, the soul can't escape if you lose your head? But it lives on in the brain, in your brain don't you see, don't you see? Heads on the wall, I'm looking at heads on the wall, dead yet alive. Heads on the wall, I'm looking at heads on the wall. Last night when I climbed the cemetery gate, I saw a man digging in the ground. Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger! Jeremiah had worked here for years, already had one foot in the grave. And with my help we got in the other, I can't believe he wasn't stronger. Mary the hooker was coming to church to let the reverend fill up her purse. And Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in Hell, no one must find out, no one must tell. Heads on the wall, I'm looking at their heads on the wall, dead yet alive. Heads on the wall and they're staring at me and me and me. No one comes and leaves again, I've got to make sure no one knows where I am. Especially "that" man, I remember, I can't get rid of those voices.

I've been watching Lucy all week and I've been watching her at school. I know her schedule, I know it well, and I know exactly when she's leaving. Oh Lucy take my hand, how can I make you understand? I'm not a stranger, I am a friend, I'm gonna take you home to daddy later. Such beautiful eyes you have and such beautiful hair. You must be at least seven years of age. m I right now? As if I really care! Because you're his daughter, his little daughter, the one I'm supposed to have hurt. But I could never, I could never, I could never hurt a little girl like you. Oh Lucy take my hand, how can I make you understand? I'm not a stranger, I am a friend, I'm gonna take you home to daddy later. Such beautiful eyes you have and such beautiful hair. You must be at least seven years of age. But who cares 'cause you're coming with me now! Come on little girl, why are you making such a fuss? Come on little girl, come on it is time! I've got real dolls on my wall, I made them myself! You can play with them and play with them and play with them until your Daddy comes to get you. Oh Lucy take my hand, how can I make you understand? I'm not a stranger, I am a friend, I'm gonna take you home to Daddy later. I and you will soon be home now, I and you are gonna play then. I and you, we, we're gonna have some fun. Sweet graveyard here we come...

Lucy, you stay here, the tomb is warm. Why don't you play with the dolls, the dolls on the wall? I am not the guy I used to be, not since he put me away. I left half my brain behind back in that crazy place. Does that mean that I am insane, does that really mean that I am to blame? No! Is it true what they say, little girls don't cry? Is it true what they say, Lucy look at me! I am not the guy I used to be, not since he put me away. I left half my brain behind back in that crazy place. Does that mean that I am insane, does that really mean that I am to blame? No! Into the night I go and you can't follow me. Into the night I go and you can't follow me. I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your Hell. I will be your misery and I wish you well in Hell. I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs. I'm digging graves below that crazy moon. I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your Hell. I will be your misery and I wish you well in Hell. McKenzie, how could you think I'd forget? All graves done, I'm so clever, seven headstones in all saying "Lucy Forever". I am not the guy I used to be, not since he put me away. I left half my brain behind back in that crazy place. Does that mean that I am insane, does that really mean that I am to blame? No! Into the night I go and you can't follow me. Into the night I go and you can't follow me. I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your Hell. I will be your misery and I wish you well in Hell. I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs. I'm digging graves below that crazy moon. Into the night I go and you can't follow me. Into the night I go and you can't follow me...

Yesterday as I finished the last of the seven graves, I went to call McKenzie. I woke him up in the middle of the night, you should have heard me, surprise! Revenge is sweet. Up and awake McKenzie knew that I was still alive, I have to tell you he is the Mayor of this godforsaken town, he's Lucy's father, the man that brought me down. He is such a sick little man, he's so much sicker than me and I am! Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates. Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead. Revenge is sweet, revenge is sweet, I know that you agree. Call me sick in the head but I would never lie to you I worked for the man. Mayor McKenzie is an old perverted swine, I caught him one night molesting his own little child. Who do you think they all believed? He is such a sick little man, he's so much sicker than me and I am! Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates. Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead. McKenzie did you hear me? No Lucy, she is fine! She's sleeping in her coffin, can't wait to meet your face again. He is such a sick little man, he's so much sicker than me and I am. Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates. Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead.

Lucy, it's time for bed now and you need your rest, so lie down in your coffin dear and sleep tight. I'll wake you when daddy's here, alright? No, no don't, don't cry little girl! Little girl from head to toe, deep into the ground you go down. Down... Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground. Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around. Oh, the worms... Is that your daddy, your daddy? Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground. Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around. Oh, the worms... Is that your daddy, your daddy? As I'm waiting by the cemetery gates for her father to show. Something's pounding at my head, it's like I can still hear her screaming. Oh Lucy, I'm doing all this for you. Oh Lucy, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to but you've got to... Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground. Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around. Oh, the worms... Is that your daddy, your daddy? So you came at last, let me see your heart. Let me see your face, you son of a bitch. I see a baby crying, I see a little tear. Oh yeah I know you're trying but you can't stop the fear. Daddy! If you ever want to see your little girl again you better do as I say. Dear Mr. Mayor, welcome to my humble tomb, come inside, you know you have to!

Oh Daddy, I'm so alone. Oh Daddy, come home. Oh Daddy, I've missed you so. Oh Daddy, tell me what to do. Daddy don't look at me like that. I didn't do it. He did, it was him! I could never, I could never. I wasn't even there. Daddy tell me what to do. Daddy, no don't, no. Oh, Daddy, you're fading away. Oh, Daddy, Daddy please stay. Oh, you're fading away. Oh, Daddy, Daddy please stay. You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie. Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep. What am I to do, with you? You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie. Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep. What am I to do, with you? Sit down you creep, you degenerate sheep. You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie.

The only light inside this tomb is coming from so high above us. Watching through a tiny window, the moon is looking on. Down on your knees, down if you please While I blindfold your eyes. The two of us are gonna play a little game. I think that I will call it: "Trick or treat". Let us go hide and seek. Follow me into the night. Where the sun don't shine but the moon is bright. Lucy is sleeping in one of seven graves. Now you decide, which ones are trick or treat. Trick or treat, let us go hide and seek. I can only let you fail this twice. The third time you must be right. Lucy is sleeping in one of seven graves. Now you decide, which ones are trick or treat. You better start digging, she could be dying while we speak. You better start digging before the worms have their feast. How does it feel to be digging for someone you love? How does it feel to be digging for love? Oh no, no, no, you failed again. That's not Lucy, that's someone else you've got. You blindfolded creep. I'm beginning to get the feel that you're digging your own grave. Lucy is sleeping in one of seven graves. Now you decide, which ones are trick or treat. You better start digging, she could be dying while we speak. You better start digging before the worms have their feast. The only light inside this graveyard is coming from so high above us. Watching from the blackened sky, the moon is looking on. Down on your knees, dig if you please, while I blindfold your brain. One blow to the back of the head and he is face down, down in Lucy's grave. Lucy is sleeping in one of seven graves. Her Daddy won, but I am winning now. I'm dragging him back, back to the tomb. I'm dragging him back and I'm tying him down.

As I look him deep in the eyes, I see only darkness. I must have knocked him out, good! I kind of like that, I must go. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Here we go again my friend, deep into my twisted brain. I think I'm losing it again. I'm digging for Lucy dear. I've had it up to here. Lucy, Lucy I am here. Lucy, Lucy don't you fear. I will get you out of there, so you can breathe again. You can't sleep forever, dear. Lucy, come to Daddy. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Up, up, up from the grave. Here we go again my friend, deep into my twisted brain. I think I'm losing it again. Tell me what you see! Tell me how it makes you feel, when I sing so nicely to you Lucy?

Back in the tomb, Lucy is sitting on the floor. I am, I am standing by the door. The door to freedom, the door that I shut so close. As I take another look at my mind, I seem to think the sun has arrived. No! McKenzie, you better realize, now it's just you and I! Back against the wall, McKenzie's on the stone cold floor. Hands tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor. The door to freedom, the door that I shut so close. As I take another look at my mind, I seem to think the sun has arrived. This court is now in session. You stand accused of child abuse, of stealing innocence and freedom too. I am the only judge, I am the only jury. I am your lawyer too, so tell me what to do. What's it gonna be? Are you guilty or are you guilty? Yes, you just go ahead and cry! Back against the wall, McKenzie's on the stone cold floor. Hands tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor. The door to freedom, the door that I shut so close. As I take another look at my mind, I seem to think the sun has arrived. Oh No, there is no sun here. There's only darkness! I, the Jury and the Judge. Find you guilty of stealing the innocence of a child. Therefore we sentence you to die slowly, die. Die, die, die, die, die, die, die!

I leave it up me, girl. You tell me when and I'll act. By the first light of dawn, Daddy will be on his way. By the first light of dawn, no more Daddy, I say. I leave it up to me girl. You tell me when and I'll make him disappear. I can feel the sun will soon be here. Get away from that string my dear. What do you think you're doing Lucy? Too late, I should have seen it coming my way. Glass from the broken window, so high above. Heading straight for my neck. By the first light of dawn, my body lost its head. By the first light of dawn. Oh God, I'm dead. I feel my soul is creeping up into my brain. I guess I would be scared, if I weren't already dead. But my blackened heart has told me, no one really cares anyway. Lucy, what are you doing now? Do not set him free girl. Lucy, what are you doing now? You better take a listen to my head! Did you hear what it said? The view is so very strange, so strange from here. Facing the floor is hard, when you're nothing but a ball. How could the mayor win and I become one of "Them"? I'm just a head on the floor. My body is over there, but I am still right here. Lucy, come back to me. Lucy, you cannot leave me like this. Lucy, I hear your little feet coming my way. Pick me up and let us head for home. But not a word to Daddy. So she puts my head in her backpack. Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever. Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever. Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever. Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever!
