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

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
The heretic beset by dread says
“This I cannot accept for the thing I sorely fear
Is the blood; the blood of others.”

So I ask you. What's behind the walls of this room?
Think about it while you still have the chance to
