With a handful
Of human heartstrings
A dead man plays the bass

Double spinal cords
To create drumsticks
And a heartbeat is held

44 finger bones
create keys
Of a piano

Last a shrieking
Is heard while
The Dead Man Band plays

" Run , girl , run !
Before your
Life is done

Scream, darling , scream
Notice this
Isn't a dream* " .

Darkness, Shadows, Fright’ning screams
Red eyes haunt you in your dreams
With serpent coils and spider crawls
Clouded skies and banshee calls

Cold chills running down your spine
Something’s counting down your time
Monsters wait to draw your blood
Don’t listen for that sick’ning thud

With every turn you hear a howl
Eerie, freaky, creepy, growl
Apparitions all around
Voices groaning underground

Death and phantoms at your neck
Pirates on a grim ship wreck
Something’s coming down the hall
With fangs and claws and dying squall

Darkness, shadows, is this real
All this fear and dread I feel
I must wake up and see the sun
Or this nightmare won’t be done

Let's stay like this for a minute longer
Lets forget everything
Let me stay close to you
Let me hear you heart beat
Every beat if your loving heart
Gives me hope

Let me stay
Let me smell your sweet aroma
Let we dream here
Let me kiss your soft lips
Let me feel the wrath of your skin
Don't let go, not now

Let's stay like this for a minute longer
Wait! Where are you going?
Don't go
Let me love you one last time

Dreams are a puzzle of our thoughts throughout the day,
Of what our eyes didn't see,
Of what out minds didn't say,
We bid them no thought,
We don't see the value of what they might be,
But that they all seem to bear,
The thoughts we don't see
But are most surely there
They show you what we didn't see
But our minds understood
They're ours to discover if we only but look

The pendulum swings
back                          forth
                  and
forth                          back
                  and
I cant change it, nor can you,
So take a step back,
This life is all, not just you and I,
This place is more than just one mans crime,
Its everything, everyone and
Without me,
It'll still swing, just, fine...
