lyrics
What's behind the walls of this room?
A flood of tears – the widows weep
Worn prayers resound in liturgy
A dirge fills up the catacombs
It's cold underground and they are not alone
All life lays still below the warm

But the only thing I fear is the blood; the blood of others.”
And another soul entombed
Death;s bell ring out a note of gloom
Open casket open door
By curiosity now the widow is drawn
closer and closer and closer
Frozen eyes stare at the dead
