I. Eleanor:
All her life~ A lone silhouette
Amid the Leering ~ Faceless crowd
Ignoring words ~ Fear filled hate
Even the children curse her name
The Lady Vanadder is crazy, so they say
She belongs to them ~ She belongs to the home
Confused by their words and hateful stares
She’s never done anyone harm
How many times has she heard
She’s one of them ~ She’s one with the home
Confronting her father
He tells what he has known for all these years
He’s afraid for his dear ~ His dear girl Eleanor
Oh my girl ~ Forgive me
Running out the door
To her secret place to pray
The forbidden deep dark wood
Her haven from the hate
Drawn to a light in the distance
As twilight darkens the sky
There stood the man called Crimm
Her childhood boogieman ~ RUN
II.CRIMM:
Waiting with lifeless eyes he glares
His head turns slowly with an evil wicked grin
Looking into his eyes she cries
He knows her and she knows him
He’s the demon of her dreams
His lips in a curl he calls out her name
Turning to run her mind plays the rhyme
Of the man called Crimm and his rotting old home
Screaming down the primrose path
The childhood chant plays over in her mind
Again and again echoes the rhyme
Did Crimm call her name or was it the home
The childhood chant grows louder and louder
And louder
III. Lights In The Window:
Lights in the window ~ Stay away
Crimm is on his way
You better run ~ You better hide
Don’t let him hear you cry ~ He’ll eat your soul alive
Crimm played no whim
Neat and tidy his home ~ To the mentally insane
Treated they were ~ No doubt
And buried the dead ~ The pleasantly sane
Beware this man
His kindness took a turn when he opened an urn
He let loose the original evil
It ate the souls of the insane
Dementedly turning on Crimm
Twisting his body and mind
Becoming part of the home
He’s now a slave to the home
Now he’s one with the home
~solo~
Lights in the window ~ Stay away
Don’t let him hear you cry ~ He’ll eat your soul alive
IV.CRIMM
Walking the cobblestones as you’ve done before
One thought on your mind
Bring her home
You lurk in the shadows and you wait
As the light in the window breaks
The voice calls
Chorus
Stealing into the house
Her father squares up to you
Too bad for him ~ Dispatched like a toy
You open her door
You finally see Great Granddaughters eyes
You see the purest of souls
Why are you having second thoughts
Do the bidding the home demands
Bring her home
V. Eleanor
A young life ~ Picturesque
The home found its way easily
Honest heart ~ Purest soul
A pound of flesh the home needs
The lady Vanadder is crazy so they say
She’s one ~ She’s one with the home
Visions of all the hateful stares
Her family’s legacy
How many times has she heard
She talks ~ She talks to the home
Every day it’s the same
She just turns and sheds her tears
When she hears ~
Eleanor ~ Welcome Home
Every home has its secrets
Every home has its heart
Every hour is eternity
When it’s truly dark
And when the twilight rides
You see the nevermore
All the things you fear are clear
When it comes to your door
