Mystery and Fear Lyrics


The last thing I remember

Was the beauty of her face

Pictures from another time

Just a notion of embrace

The ghostly touch of innocence

Reflected in her eyes

The secret that she holds for me

Is buried under lies

and fear...

it's all here

No one cared what happened in that night

And how or why the young girl died

Reveal the secrets of the past to me

I must find out to set her free

I came into a store

Saw the picture of a young girl

On the wall

Who is she, what is her name

I wanted to know more

And asked a man

But he did not say a thing

Reveal the secrets of the past to me

Who is the girl on the photography

I went out of that store

Met an older woman who

Took me to her house

We talked a while, then she asked:

"You want to know more?"

And she told me everything that she knew:

Men in the dark

A fire burned bright

Terrific laughter

Echoes at night

An innocent girl

She was so young

Judged by the crowd

The mob was too strong

Screams an despair

Flames burning high

Scapegoat for all

"The witch has to die"

Still I awake

Night after night

And remember

All I hear is terrifying

You were near when she was dying

Why did you not give her a hand

Please help me to understand

How could I

I did try

I was alone and could not help

Help me, save me

Save me from the flames

Reveal the secrets of the past to me

What lies beyond this mystery

Mystery and fear - The answers are now clear

Vanished in the past - Memories do last
