Lurking Fear - Lady of Usher

Riding through desolate country
I found myself in front of the mansion
I looked upon the grim walls before me
In my heart grew a sense of depression
My host spoke to me with shine in his eyes
RODERICK USHER: “In this wretched madness, my friend, I shall die!”

I saw her slowly passing by
I saw her slowly disappear

Deep down under – A fire burning day by day
Deep down under – Her life was wasted away

One night he told me the lady had died
We brought her down into the vault
In her face a lingering smile
We screwed the lid and secured the door
Late in the night of the seventh day
He entered my room and told me - RODERICK USHER: “You’ve seen it?”

RODERICK USHER: “I hear her rising from the grave
I hear her footsteps on the stairs”

Deep down under – She struggles in the dark
Deep down under – Can you hear the beating heart?

RODERICK USHER: “Oh I have heard it, so many hours, so many days
I dared not speak, what we have done, we buried her alive!
Buried alive
Soon she'll be here, where I can flee? She’s without the door!”
With a moaning cry the white lady fell, embraced they died

From that chamber I fled away
While fell the House of Usher

Deep down under – She struggles in the dark
Deep down under – Can you hear the beating heart?
