O'great fanged mother
I call upon thee

Arise . with vengeance
& a voice of blasphemy

[bring out your dead]
Touch, taste, feel ...
NO, DON'T DO IT. STOP.

[i'm sorry, no, I can't, please, can you hear me? help me.]
That's impossible. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. STOP LISTENING!

"as long as you're under my roof, you will respect me"
[HELP ME, STOP THEM ... BEFORE I DO]

"AS LONG AS YOU'RE UNDER MY ROOF, YOU WILL RESPECT ME!"

The only truth is suffering.
[From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
The Only Truth Is Suffering.

"& it's ok to hate yourself, just lay still, don't cry for help"

... every time he comes, you disappear.
NO. NO. NO.
RUN. ANYWHERE YOU CAN.
IT'S COMING. The Suffering Is HERE.

"I'M SICK BUT I NEED MY DISEASE"
[no one is safe, no where is safe]

"I'M SORRY. It was a mistake. Someone let me out of here."
Please, let me out of here. GO AWAY, GO AWAY, GO AWAY.

[ghost child sings]

... surrender is your only hope.
