“Them”
Album - 1988 - Debaser id 21481

Look, the old bitch 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 bitch 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

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' room... the invisible guests

Guitar solo: Pete

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"

Guitar solo: Pete

Missy and Mother were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's chair

Guitar solo: Andy

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 me in Grandmother's chair

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 ecstasy
"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'
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 BROKE 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

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"

Guitar solo: Andy, Guitar solo: Pete

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

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
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight

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
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight

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
