In the house were fifteen stairs,
Walkways for the dead,
In each hall were twenty chairs,
A ghost in every bed.
~
Madness lived within the walls,
Silence its only friend,
Horrors hung along the halls,
Wickedness lurked at their end.
~
The paths converge, the halls divide,
The house begins to crack,
And none can find a place to hide,
As all the world turns black.
~
The moon shines on the scattered ruins,
The dead souls now have fled,
And all that’s left of the once-proud rooms
Is the fading stench of the dead.
~
And the ravens gather to feast
Filling their stomachs with flesh
From the lonely corpse of the beast,
This house that finally may rest.
~
But now on the hill you see
A specter of ill will
A horror that never could be,
The house is standing still.
