They say this mansion’s haunted
But I didn’t believe
I put on my head, took my gun
And waited for the eve
As I walk up to the door
I doubt if this plan is good
Have to see no more,
Now I know they’re telling truth
At first the house was silent
Through the narrow hallway –
Step by step, creek by creek
I still hope I’m alone here
And I hope not to find what I seek
At first the house was silent
Then I caught movement on the staircase
My first shot slammed the walls,
Blood splattered the tapestry,
But whatever it was, it escaped in a haze
On the dusty sill of kitchen I saw it -
Severed head of my brother Delbert
With a knife in his forhead morted
Now I know I’m gonna see the Old Lady
They say this mansion’s haunted
But I didn’t believe
I put on my head, took my gun
And waited for the eve
As I walk up to the door
I doubt if this plan is good
Have to see no more,
Now I know they’re telling truth
Now I’m bound to cleanse this horrid
Place and burn it all
Unseen eyes yet scowl at me
Through every keyhole
I went off mocking rumours,
And smoking cigarette
If I don’t come before midnight,
Let all know I am dead.
They say this mansion’s haunted
But I didn’t believe.
