Songs  Title：a  mansion  in  darkness

Riding  up  the  alley  in  the  rain

No  lights  to  show  the  way

How  could  this  ever  be  their  home

Through  the  darkness  you  could  only  see

A  giant  shadow  wich  was  to  be

A  house  where  evil  ruled  at  night

And  the  shadows  at  the  gate,  they  seemed  to  be  alive

Yeah  the  shadows  at  the  gate,  alive

Everything  inside  was  left  untouched

Except  for  what  the  rats  had  got

And  the  dust  of  time  that  showed  its  mark

Armed  with  candlelight  and  open  eyes

Through  the  dark  they  fought  their  way

til  every  room  was  again  lit  again

And  the  house  began  to  breathe,  it  seemed  to  be  alive

Yeah  the  house  began  to  breathe,  alive

the  As  candlelight  began  to  fade

And  jonathan  said  lets  go  to  bed

The  fireplace  had  ceased  to  burn  burn

Both  were  fast  asleep  before  the  dawn,  dreaming  dreaming

And  they  did  not  know  about  the  shadow

Yeah  the  shadow  on  the  wall,  it  really  came  alive

Yeah  the  shadow  on  the  wall,  sunrise!
