The Belasco House

[Lyrics by Greenwolf] [Based on the 1973 movie The Legend Of Hell House and the novel Hell House by Richard Matheson] [Piano and violin intro] [violin solo] [Gothic guitars and synths] [Verse 1] A dark and foreboding Mansion Former residence of Emeric Belasco A perverted millionaire and alleged murderer Who disappeared shortly after a massacre [Gothic violin] [Verse 2] Physicist Doctor Lionel Barrett accompanied by his wife Edith Arrive to begin an investigation Into the supposed haunting of the mansion [Pre-chorus] Believing ghosts don't exist That hauntings are a result of our subconscious psyche He believes... He can prove his theory right [Gothic guitar riff] [Verse 3] Florence, a renown medium arrives next And picks up on the foreboding atmosphere And Fischer is the last of the visitors Only survivor from the last group who came here [Violin Solo] [Verse 4] Inside the manor Florence comments On several presences and feelings of sorrow But Lionel he scoffs at Florence His machine will prove her wrong tomorrow [Pre-chorus] Believing ghosts don't exist That hauntings are a result of our subconscious psyche He believes... He can prove his theory right [Chorus] In the Belasssssco House Tragedy will strike.. againnnn In the Belasssssco House His evil will rise.. againnnn [Gothic guitar solo] [Verse 5] They gather to carry out a seance And medium Florence manifests ectoplasm But Barrett believes Florence is the cause And not communication from beyond the chasm [Violin Solo] [Verse 6] That night Florence is visited in her room By a troubled and volatile spirit She believes it to be Daniel Belasco Just another hidden secret of Emeric [Short gothic guitar solo] [Chorus] In the Belasssssco House Tragedy will strike.. againnnn In the Belasssssco House His evil will rise.. againnnn [Slow instrumental with piano and violin] [Complex guitar solo] [Gothic guitar solo] [melodic guitar solo] [Verse 7] Barrett scoffs at her mention of Daniel A fiction created by her imagination And falls victim to poltergeist activity Bruised, he is helped to his feet by Edith and points his finger at Florence Believes it to be her subconscious psychic ability [Verse 8] Determined to prove her wrong Barrett begins setting up his machine To rid the house of it's psychic energy The discovery of Daniel Belasco His remains found behind a false wall Does nothing to dissuade him from his theory [Chorus] In the Belasssssco House Tragedy will strike.. againnnn In the Belasssssco House His evil will rise.. againnnn [Violin solo] [Gothic guitar solo] [Complex guitar solo] [Melodic guitar solo with spooky synth backing] [gothic guitar riff with organs] [Change to faster tempo] [Verse 9] Florence is visited by Daniel in the evening Begging and pleading for help Eventually giving in to his persistence Losing herself to him He forces her to smash the machine [Verse 10] She attacks Fischer when he stops her But she is then restrained She is taken to her room to rest And Barrett keeps guard But when he leaves she sneaks out unseen [Gothic guitar solo] [violin solo] [Gothic guitar riff and organ] [Verse 11] Daniel... At least that's who she believes him to be The chapel... To show her what he wants her to see Presence... Stronger than anywhere else in the house His will... Compels Florence to kill herself [Bridge] But in her final seconds Realises the truth much too late [Verse 12] Discovered They find her body the next morning In blood They find she had written a warning Letter B But what could this warning mean? Machine It's time this house was clean [Bridge] The damage was superficial And Barrett goes to turn it on [Complex guitar solo] [Violin solo] [Verse 13] Fischer opens himself to the house And finds no presences at all So Barrett really was right If it was used earlier could have saved them all They all start to pack To finally get out of this place But as Barrett goes to his machine The glass explodes and shreds his face [Short gothic guitar solo] [Verse 14] Fischer He detects the presence is back Florence It was Belasco's psychic attack Daniel They had all presumed wrong Belasco It had been Emerit all along [Violin Solo] [Gothic guitar solo] [Final Verse] So Fischer returns to the chapel To confront Emerit a final time Finds a hidden room at the back With iron the walls were lined In it are Belasco's remains Protected from the effects of the machine A short man with prosthetic legs Not the force that he had seemed [Gothic guitar solo] [Outro] And in a battle of wills Fischer ridicules him Belasco's rage increased But his power fades His ego stripped away From his evil the house is released [Slow violin solo] And now Fischer and Edith leave the house in peace [Ending]
