I'm riding through the night, a friend has called me   I see the moonless sky, the stars shine bright   The house before me, fog hangs over   I'm standing there alone in the dark      I ring the bell   He opens the door   He looks like death   No shadow on the floor      It seems life's gone out of his body   And madness has now taken control      Pale and grey   A weird mind   His sister is dead   And I'm so blind      Deep in the house   She's lying there   This bird of happiness   With long black hair      [Chorus:]   Silent screams out of the distance   It seems the walls would talk to me   Whispering voices out of the grave   It seems the house can't set me free      Horror running through my veins   As I see my friend going insane      Pale and grey   He's standing there   Scratching and moaning,   Disturbing the air      He knows that he buried his sister alive   But as he sees her he knows that he'll die      [Chorus:]   Silent screams out of the distance   It seems the walls would talk to me   Whispering voices out of the grave   It seems the house can't set me free      And it's burning...
