From my haunted dream I do slowly awake   Lyin' still in my dark room that now seems to suffocate   My hands are sheet grippin' as the nightmare got me trippin'   Need to get outta bed cause I feel my life slippin'   An eerie wind lifts causin' my house to shift   As my open closet seems like a gate to hell's pit   Vision of a woman's death remains from my dream   As an echo haunts my mind of her ghostly screams   From forgotten realms filled with shadow things   Where death becomes born and nightmares bring   Those things that slowly creep in the night as we sleep   Otherwordly beings who seep from the shadow deep   Everyone has seen what could never be explained   But they file it deep in their mind as merely insane   Wether you choose to believe me or don't believe   Our 3rd dimension remains only one known reality      (Chorus)   Won't you step up through the gate   Will you face up to your fate   Don't you hear the ghostly calls   Transcending from beyond our walls   Won't you enter the shadow land   And walk upon the emerald sand   Have you seen what I have seen   Or do you choose to be naive      Off highway 80 there exists a haunted place   There an old sanitarium on a hill sits and wastes   Thousand horribly died there over the course of time   It's where the terminally ill were sentenced to die   Now many abandon buildings do stand askew   Surrounded by deep woods where ghostly sounds spew   We went there me and my friends on a dare   To survive one night as we were encased in fear   I seen things then that I could never explain   Had vision of a bloody hall mixed with pain   Seen a door open and close of its own accord   Felt the temperature drop down low in the sick ward   We took photos everywhere within its old walls   What was later developed caused my skin to crawl   There in the photos floating beside our heads   Were the ghostly orbs or the tormented dead      (Chorus)   Won't you step up through the gate   Will you face up to your fate   Don't you hear the ghostly calls   Transcending from beyond our walls   Won't you enter the shadow land   And walk upon the emerald sand   Have you seen what I have seen   Or do you choose to be naive      There exists a barren road known to bring the fear   It lies deep in the woods with no town or city near   Where monks will attack any who tests their fate   With their vow of silence they're known to whistle to communicate   It's always been my nature to explore the unknown   It was on Devil's Night when we walked the road   The trees above constantly swayed in the eerie wind   As they blocked out moonlight with no give   The dirt road twisted as we saw many strange things   Then we turned a corner as the silence did bring   A whistling sound which began repeating all around   Some far away and others close by kinda loud   Our blood then froze on that desolate road   We then continued in fear and saw a sinister abode   A monk monastery as wicked as could ever be   Far from the road vast dark and full of mystery   We explored by hoppin' back and forth over barb-wire   When suddenly the air was filled with gunfire   We ran for our lives as I saw where a clearing lied   There stood a dozen monks shooting at us side by side
