Song lyrics

After the boy had taken a walk
With his dear deceased grandmother
His feet were somehow led to a small, ancient church
Giving quite an imposing grandeur
Partially sunken in the morass of the marshland
All foggy and chronically overcast
The ancient house is waiting...
The haunted house lies waiting...

Clockwise the stone flight is spiralling upwards
But soon the passage becomes too small to get on
Even though the boy's now crawling
Anxiously he attempts to restrain
But his way back seems to be obstructed
Gelatinous hearts are lined-up along the walls
Each of them inseminated or defiled by a black tadpole

A stone lion promises to be the boy's rescue
But only, if he stops running away from him...
