(ABOUT THIS TRACK)

"I could not help thinking of the wild ritual of this work, and of its probable influence upon the hypochondriac, when, one evening, having informed me abruptly that the lady Madeline was no more, he stated his intention of preserving her corpse for a fortnight, (previously to its final interment,) in one of the numerous vaults within the main walls of the building.

The worldly reason, however, assigned for this singular proceeding, was one which I did not feel at liberty to dispute. The brother had been led to his resolution (so he told me) by consideration of the unusual character of the malady of the deceased, of certain obtrusive and eager inquiries on the part of her medical men, and of the remote and exposed situation of the burial-ground of the family.

I will not deny that when I called to mind the sinister countenance of the person whom I met upon the stair case, on the day of my arrival at the house, I had no desire to oppose what I regarded as at best but a harmless, and by no means an unnatural, precaution."

lyrics

(LYRICS)

The sound of the silence is deafening.
The occultist library before me.
Suddenly, the chamber door was thrust wide open.
"I've come too far to let her go, now there's nothing left to lose."

"My beloved has died here this night.
Her decease leaves me as the sole living heir.
Don't let the doctors find her this time.
How dare they defile her body now!
Come with me to her bedroom, quickly!
We shall preserve her a fortnight.
There's a vault below us.
We will keep her there until I am ready."

"Can't you see it's killing me?
Hearing her voice inside my head...
Forever, I'm severed
Into these pieces left behind..."

"Madeline died here this night.
Her decease leaves me as the only one left.
Don't let the doctors find her this time.
They might want to exhume her precious flesh!
Her body smells just like I remember,
Not a trace of putrefying stench.
There's a vault below us.
We will keep her there until I am ready."

"Can't you see it's killing me?
Hearing her voice inside my head...
Forever, I'm severed
Into these pieces left behind..."

(Picking up these shattered shards, of the one that held my heart.
Nothing left of the family line, no more pieces left behind.
Picking up these shattered shards, of the one that held my heart.
Nothing left of the family line, no more pieces left behind.)

Her body lay there in the room.
In her coffin, she rests inside.
This mournful sight is sickening.
Roderick was left behind.
Her body lay there in the room. (My bloodline, my bloodline!)
In her coffin, she rests inside. (My bloodline, my bloodline!)
This mournful sight is sickening. (My bloodline, my bloodline!)
Roderick was left behind. (My bloodline, my bloodline!)

A madman, a nightmare... ("It's like a never-ending nightmare!")
A madman, a vampire... ("It's like a never-ending nightmare!")
A madman, a vampire, ("It's like a never-ending nightmare!")
A nightmare, a madman... ("My darling Madeline, I miss you!")
A nightmare, a madman... ("My darling Madeline, I miss you!")
A nightmare, a madman... ("It's like a never-ending nightmare!")
"A nightmare! I miss you! My nightmare!
I miss you! My nightmare!
I miss you! My nightmare!"
