1st Verse

Alone tonight

In this attic room

Lit by candle light

Your breath is cold

Your face a mask

But soon the time is right

1st Bridge

Your eyes are open

You’re welcoming the night

Seals are broken no words are spoken

1st Chorus

Dark

So Dark

When The Book of Shadows breaks apart

And opens up the gateway to your heart

Slow

So slow

The time will pass

But rest assured

You’re here at last

But where you’ll go

No-one will ever know

No-one can know

2nd Verse

Steady hands

Don’t hesitate

Paint the mirrors black

Burn the candles one by one

There’s no turning back

2nd Bridge

With eyes wide open

You stare into the night

Seals now broken the words were spoken

2nd Chorus

Dark

So Dark

When The Book of Shadows breaks apart

And opens up the gateway to your heart

Slow

So slow

The time will pass

But rest assured

You’re here at last

But where you’ll go

No one will ever know

No one can know

C-Part

It’s all here…

(In the Book of Shadows)

It’s so clear….

(In the Book of Shadows)

Last Chorus

Dark

So Dark

When a thousand spells attack your heart

They’ve come unleashed unsettled from the past

Slow

So slow

The time will pass

But rest assured

You’re here at last

But where you’ll go

No-one will ever know

No-one can know

Outro

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Show me just how bright you are

Shine your light, you little star

Ban the darkness from afar

END SONG

Chapter 15 (Epilogue)

With that, I opened my eyes, which seemed to take an eternity.

Slowly I got up from my chair. I needed fresh air.

‘Go to Underground City, dear boy. There you will find the heart of the dark energies.

All human disgust is at work there. It’s The Watchers playground. It’s where they keep their enslaved human subjects happy and content.’

It’s in the heart of our abandoned city. You can’t miss the signs.

Be careful, whatever you do and remember not to touch anything.’

Mrs Sullivan opened her door and I left.

I stepped out into the night. A light rain had started to sprinkle.

‘Underground City here I come…’ I thought lighting up a cigarette.

I exhaled and started walking…

Following the plastic sign that read UC, I walked down the deserted street and came upon what looked like a tunnel entrance.

I could hear the loud music and crowd noise in the distance as I entered the tunnel.

There was a line of people in front of me.
