Down below the sealine surf

Below the sea and turf

There is a place the sun won't shine

    This place where the stars can't shine.

       Where stars can't divine.

I have seen this place unholy

A place that is so melancholy 

In this place rests nothing holy

    In this place where stars can't shine

       Stars can't divine.

To step unknowing down in there

As I did one yester-year

I can only assure the fear

    To the valiant heart a tear

       The most valiant heart a tear

This place loathsome must reside

Demons or Hades deep inside

Lucifer himself may rest inside

    This place where stars can't shine

        Stars can't divine

I beseech you please don't doubt

How my dark tale came about

From the highest roof I'd shout

Just to keep the wayward out

    Out of this place of mine

        Where stars can't shine

I will ever stand my guard here

Evermore I will stand in fear

That valiant heart won't shed a tear

    I'll stand in fear

       For you my dear

Now to you my friend I pray 

Please just go, be on your way

Live to see another day

Go from this place sun's light won't shine

    Where stars can't divine

        This place where stars can't shine.

Shhhh can you hear what I hear?

Deep beneath the floor beats a heart

Freezes my own with deathly fear

When I lay in my bed

I hear it move from room to room

It´s like an evil drum inside my head

At times it thumps in rhythm with the clock

I count the beats

Tick tock tick tock tick tock

Thud thud like footsteps coming to get me

I hide beneath the covers

Scared of what I might see

Its constant nagging ripping at my mind

When the sun rises it doesn´t go away

Like my shadow it follows me day to day

Someone come tear up the floor

Pull out the nails pull up the boards

Ends this torturous sound for evermore
