The Asylum

There atop the hill
Glowing in the moonlight
Darkened hallways, lurking in the gloom
You are being watched every step of the way
Haunted room to room...

In The lunatic asylum
Something is still there
In the lunatic asylum
Someone waits and stares...

Madness exuding from the walls
Voices in your head
Catch a glimpse of someone standing
Someone long since dead...

The agony and misery echoes in the air
Electric shock, lobotomies, the locals will not speak
Of what went on here, once upon a time
The laughter and the screams
Whispers in the dark...

The phantom car patrolling
Driving in the mist
An apparition from the past
Without a driver seen...

Walls constrict and suffocate
Closing on your mind
Delirium's embrace
Escape the blighted place...

In The lunatic asylum
Something is still there
In the lunatic asylum
Someone waits and stares...
