"Look, the old ***** is back!"
"Yeah, finally we'll get some company again. The attic room has been locked up for far too long."
"Just like the old ***** herself."
"She's on time, though. Why that silly wheelchair?"
"Oh, she's pretending as always."
"But she does make a good cup of tea."
"Oh my god, she's here! Missy, listen to what Mother says: Now you be good to Grandma, and remember she's been away on a long vacation. That goes for you too, King. And stop playing that thing! Answer the door!"
~~ Welcome Home ~~
GRANDMA!
Welcome Home!
You have been gone
For far too long
Is this a dream?
Are you really back?
Let me help you out of the chair
G-G-Grandma...
Let me touch you, let me feel...
Ahhh!
GRANDMA!
Take a look!
What do you think of the house
And the silvery moon?
We're going to repaint
The front door soon!
Let me help you out of the chair
G-G-Grandma...
Let me touch you, let me feel...
Ahhh!
Wait 'til you see your room up in the attic!
Prepared just like you said
Without a bed!
You will find your rocking chair
And the teapot that Missy found!
Let me help you out of the chair
G-G-Grandma...
There is someone waiting for you
Now, come along....
Missy and Mother
They are dying to meet you
How strange...
She's spoken no word...
I wonder Grandma...
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
Grandma, what was it like
To be on that holiday site?
"Oh, it could have been worse, but with 'THEM' by my side
In the twilight 'THEY' sang all the old lullabies."
Grandma, who are 'THEY'?
"Never mind, you dirty little brat!"
"
Let us go inside...
Something's on 'THEIR' mind...
'THEY' are still alive...
Can you feel 'THEIR' eyes?
Now that you are stuck with me, you better be my friend!"
~~ The Invisible Guests ~~
Late that night, I awoke from my sleep
Hearing unknown voices, laughing insane!
Grandma was one - oh it's coming from the room next to mine!
It's Grandma's room
The invisible guests...
As I stood there alone in the dark
Peeking through the keyhole, couldn't believe my eyes
I'd never seen anything like it
Only Grandma was inside the room!
Speaking to no one
The invisible guests...
Cups were rising in thin air
And then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
And Grandma said
"Do come in, my little friend!"
Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's chair
Grandmother said, "Look me deep in the eyes!
You will forget what you saw here tonight."
"I will let you in on the secret of this house
The secret of Amon... that's what we call this house.
Now I want you to go back to sleep.
Now go back to sleep, my dear."
The invisible guests...
Cups were rising in thin air
And then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
And Grandma said
"Now you must go back to sleep."
"Go to sleep...
Go to sleep...
Go to sleep..."
Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs
If they could see my in Grandmother's chair!
~~ Tea ~~
On the following Friday as I turned out my light
Grandma came and knocked at my door
"Wake up, King. Wake up, my dear.
I am going to show you about the house of Amon."
It is time for tea...
It is time again...
"Even your mother is present!
We made her sleep in my rocking chair."
At first I felt really scared, but there was no reason to
As I saw the knife sneaking out from Grandmother's dress
Then it cut a tiny wound in my mother's little hand...
It is time for tea...
It is time again...
Blood was running into the tea pot
Then I heard 'THEM' laugh
"
A bit of this in a cup of tea
Is what it takes to set 'THEM' free!
You will hear 'THEM' telling stories from far beyond the earth!"
What I saw and what I heard made me want to stay and learn...
I really hope this dream will never end
It's hard to describe the kind of feeling that went on in my mind
A paradise!
Hearing 'THEIR' stories and feeling 'THEIR' warmth
We laughed with tears in our eyes
From the first cup of tea, to the last drop of blood
Nothing seemed to matter at all anymore
My mother? She didn't exist to me!
Oh, I felt to heavenly!
It is time for tea...
It is time again...
~~ Mother's Getting Weaker ~~
Tonight would be the last night that we had our tea
That bloody tea, which sent us into ecstacy
Yesterday Mother complained, feeling dizzy, all in pain
Mother's getting weaker, looking paler day by day
As morning came, she could not make it out of bed
And Grandma's spell was getting straight into her head
Not a single word, she didn't seem to be alive
Getting weaker, looking paler day by day
Then Missy came in and she led me by the hand
I didn't want to go, oh but I should have known
Mother was barely conscious, why should I care?
Just looking forward to the next ordeal
I think I hear my sister begging me to stay
She gave me the phone, so I could call someone for help
I simply let go of her hand, then I cut the wire!
Missy was crying as I left them both behind
And Mother's getting weaker
Missy shouted at my back
"I HATE YOU!"
~~ Bye, Bye, Missy ~~
Tea time, Monday night
I was waiting, passing time
Then from the hallway
I saw Mother in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the stairs, it seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma had sent 'THEM' again, the invisible friends
A little later in the middle of tea
We came close to ecstacy
'THEY' were telling tales from beyond
When Grandma rose
She opened the door
And there was Missy
Seeing Mother in Grandmother's chair
She went into tears!
Missy was screaming
"What have you done? What have you done to my Ma?!"
Crying louder now!
"We better get rid of her, she's too young anyway..."
It was Grandma who spoke!
"
Bye, bye, Missy, be gone forever.
The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen will do!"
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma's wrinkled hands
"Oh no, let me be, oh no please no, Grandma, please!
Aagh! Grandma, you're hurting me!
Don't touch me or I'll break it!
I've got the tea pot - I'll do it anyway!"
I saw liquid spreading, the bloody tea all over the floor
Now I heard 'THEIR' voices, some kind of demon growls
DIE - SHE BROKEN AMON - AMON - DIE
'THEY' dropped 'THEIR' tea cups
Grandma stood still, forced by invisible hands
Missy went down the stairs
As I waved her goodbye, Missy was sobbing away...
Will I ever see her again?
Bye, bye, Missy...
Don't be afraid.
~~ A Broken Spell ~~
I stumbled out of Grandma's room
Down the stairs and out of the house
Once outside I felt my mind
Begin to fight a battle for control
With the tea pot broken, I kind of realized
That 'THEIR' power was less here
Here on the outside
I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the window to the cellar
Things were moving down there
'THEY' were searching for something
And 'THEY' really found it
The big axe was flying!
Flying out through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out.
The next thing I remember seeing
Was the smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke was actually... Oh No!
All there was left of Missy and her dress
Poor little girl...
The spell was broken, and I really felt the change
As my mind and body became one again
The moon was alive with its silvery eye
Staring right in my evil heart
I went back to see if my grandma was still there
Waiting for me in the attic...
OH I HATE THAT *****!
~~ The Accusation Chair ~~
I kind of knew that she would be waiting for me in her room
With a sick smile, she told me not to be a fool
Her eyes went hard, staring right into my brain
But I convinced her that I was feeling real fine
Oh, I was lying...
Seeing the look in her eyes
Clearing my mind was important
She believed everything I said
And then she asked me if I would help to bring her outside
Oh, I was lucky...
"Let us stay for a while," she said
"Bathing ourselves in the moonlight..."
So there she was, unprotected by 'THEM'
I grabbed her cane, and tore it out of her hand
"No way, you're not going to escape!"
"Now that I've got you... here you will pay for your deeds!
Your sick mind has come to an end now!"
"
Stop it!"
Nowhere to hide, Grandma had died
Alone in the night
And 'THEY' were waiting for me
Waiting inside
Hoping that I would come back in
But I just ran away
Into the woods, as far as I could
I saw 'THEIR' eyes
And then I fainted again, going insane
Dreaming that I was one of 'THEM'
I hear 'THEIR' voices all the time...
~~ "Them" ~~
"King... Come out to us...
King... Remember the tea...
We are stronger than you...
You must return..."
~~ Twilight Symphony ~~
Morning came, and so did they
Flying questions from the police
I'm waiting here in an ambulance
For Dr. Landau to return and tell me
Why they're taking me so far away
"
I did what I did, and I'm glad I did!
'Cos I could have been the...
I could have been the next in line!"
Nobody found a trace of Missy
I'd be the last to tell them anyway
How could I ever, ever explain?
Now I hear them again, singing
Twilight... SYMPHONY!
Twilight... OH!
I hear them again, singing
Twilight... SYMPHONY!
Twilight... OH!
Grandma was dead with an open neck
Blood still running from my open mouth
I knew they would blame it, they would blame it all on me!
How could I ever, ever explain?
Now I hear them again, singing
Twilight... SYMPHONY!
Twilight... OH!
I hear them again, singing
Twilight... SYMPHONY!
Twilight... OH!
Dr. Landau returned, and I told him the story
"
Are you mad or just insane?"
I tried anyway...
"
You can take him away now
The boy has lost his mind!"
Oh, no, no...
I haven't seen my mother since they took me away
And Dr. Landau wouldn't tell me
He wouldn't tell me anything
Oh, I'm back on the outside!
Time has caught up with me
And I must leave for the old house
Yes, I must leave now
Grandma... I'm coming
I'm coming home now!
I'm coming home now!
~~ Coming Home ~~
"
Grandma?"
"I knew it was you at the door... I saw you from the window.
Now come inside, my dear. It's good to see you again... despite what you did to my throat... 'THEY' are waiting upsairs.
Come, Missy is there too.
She's sitting on Grandpa's lap.
I bet you're dying for a cup of tea...."
