The Shell-Crypt - Saturnine Silence

Captured here within a quiet tomb, yet not surrounded by the dead Covered in a shroud of misery, whispers hover in our midst Ragged few have shared this consequence, but the choice was ours in a way Full of hope, yet still despondent, will light ever come again? Shout, unfortunate warden, the time for chains is ended Crawl out from this cage, feel warmth upon your face, as you step into the sun This tender breeze, meant only for the free, which you'll not be for long, your time is done Dark passageways never end, only glimpses caught between the Bars of our cell, moving forward yet never terminating anywhere Bound to the crypt Darkness fills my soul and skin Bound, I fall from sin Blackened spirit, past within The time for chains is ended Crawl out from this cage, feel warmth upon your face, as you step into the sun This tender breeze, meant only for the free, which you'll not be for long, your time is done

I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise (He did the mash) He did the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (He did the mash) It caught on in a flash (He did the mash) He did the monster mash From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To get a jolt from my electrodes (They did the mash) They did the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (They did the mash) It caught on in a flash (They did the mash) They did the monster mash The zombies were having fun (tennis shoe, wa hoo) The party had just begun (tennis shoe, wa hoo) The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five' (They played the mash) They played the monster mash (The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash (They played the mash) It caught on in a flash (They played the mash) They played the monster mash Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing He opened the lid and shook his fist and said "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? (It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash (The monster mash) And it's a graveyard smash (It's now the mash) It's caught on in a flash (It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land For you, the living, this mash was meant too When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you (Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash (The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash (Then you can mash) You'll catch on in a flash (Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) Easy Igor, you impetuous young boy (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash) (Wa hoo, monster mash)
