On the hill the dark house looms, softly calling me

Drawing me ever nearer, something for me to see?

Lurid voices call me, cannot resist and fight

Walk the wide staircase, day turns into night

The locked door opens, like magic, as if by my touch

The darkness greets me as if it were always such

The book is opened my name appears

I know I am welcome...here

Up the stairs and to my room, my things have all been placed

Courtesy of destiny, arrangements made by fate

Into the ballroom the partisans dance

Waltz induced by death’s romance

The music stops, the dancers turn

Join death’s dance I will learn

It takes two to tango

The mirror casts no reflections, glass stares back at me

Fool of dark deception, a laugh blows through the trees

Death for entertainment can’t you see

The fates have all been laughing at me

The masks have all been lifted, the charade’s at its end

Along with the others I realize now that I’m...dead
