Once upon a time as in Ancient history High upon a hill in a shroud Of mystery Loomed the abbey as we Journeyed through the night And wended our way Towards the light As we entered through the Gates We heard the silent calls There was something evil That lurked within these Walls As I relive my days in this Godforsaken place All that appears before me Now...is her face Another man died today like The ones before With blackened tongue and Blackened finger Within the labyrinth behind The bolted door Lies the answer to our Mystery Heed the book that kills - It holds an evil power Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower For laughter kills the fear Within The abbey of synn We found the secret path That led us here to you Give us the deadly book of Laughter Too many men have died for A teaching of the few Open up your heart reveal The mystery Heed the book that kills - It holds an evil power Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower For laughter kills the fear Within The abbey of synn And then she came 2 me Like a creature from the Dawn Enchanting as the moon - Radiant as the sun She took the boy in me and Gave me back the man With a force I could not Withstand The seer burned the abbey Down and perished in the fire We couldn't save the book The flames were rising Higher So many died in vain for an Ancient discipline Laughter kills the fear within The abbey of synn Heed the book that kills - It holds an evil power Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower For laughter kills the fear Within The abbey of synn
