From the recording Modern Hel
Lyrics
I hear them creeping and crawling
In the dead of night
Their cries are chilling
They’re out of sight
But they’re not out of mind
They are there
I’ve got this feeling
Brother and sister lie awake
And they watch silhouettes
Crawl up the ceiling
And hear the whispers from fissures
In floorboards below
And walls concealing
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under there
Kissed by the abyss
A brood of crude and mute
Unanswered prayers
The swell of anguish is thick
And demands the embrace
Of morning’s passage
Together brother and sister
Must finally face
The darkened vastness
Down the hatch
Pull the latch
And a light they will bring
Delicate
Gleaming
True evil lies in the blackened
And scarred hearts of man
Not beings unseen
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under there
Kissed by the abyss
A brood of crude and mute
Unanswered prayers
Hear them scream
Set me free
Hear them scream
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under the stairs
There’s something under there
Kissed by the abyss
A brood of crude and mute
Unanswered prayers
Lost people
The people under the stairs
Lost people
The people under the stairs
The people under the stairs
