There they rise, built on pain and misery,

Power house looming high, quite a sight to see.

Echoes of the past, screams of yesterday,

Watch Doom pass, too close, all die in its way.

Family standing tall,

Devils Evil calls;

Spread his word to all,

Or cursed you shall fall.



Madness marches forth in sin;

Nightmares come-again begin-

Worship, the blood flows for the glory of His name.

Usher, none who so called can ever be the same.

Denied destiny, non-submission by two,

False witness against what heir should do.

Now it has come to release,

End the blood line, time souls rest in peace.



HOUSE OF USHER

Lives on in stone.

HOUSE OF USHER

Its Evil secrets unknown.

HOUSE OF USHER

Won't fall till its rule

IS COMPLETE.



Penance for vicious crimes taunt and destroy the mind.

Senses burn inside on fire-a victim of time-

Too many weaknesses, the force is too strong.

It's a losing battle; none escape punishment of the wrong

Help, outsider tries.

Cracks can't break family ties.

Realizing the truth from the lies,

The curse fades but never dies.



Final screams, one is dead, the last is hunted.

No one will be left with dreams which are haunted.

Watch, the Devils house crumbles down.

To this day no trace can be found.

The stranger stands,

Alone looks out across the land;

The tale must be told

So none here after, the new age

Must never repeat the old.



HOUSE OF USHER

Its memory lingers alone.

HOUSE OF USHER

Its Evil secrets known.

HOUSE OF USHER

It’s moral

IS COMPLETE.
(Based upon: House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe;

Usher's Passage by Robert R. McCammon)
