House Of God

Solo: Andy 


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 


Solo: Glen 


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 
And then the sound... 
Jesus Christ,what have they done to you? 


Solo: Glen 


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
