The Manor House
As the pregnant moon begins to rise,
one can hear the mournful cries
And when the spirts start their prowl
rabid wolves began to howl
From the manor house upon the hill,
you can hear the mournful shrill
from the souls who dwell inside,
who were killed and tossed aside
Some phantoms have been seen,
and as the moon lights up the scene
one can hear the groans and cries,
as if these sounds were demonize
A priest went there to investigate,
but no one knows his fate
Perhaps he too is now a ghost,
and has become the spirt’s host
Stay away from that place they say,
or you will never see another day
for the ancient manor on that hill,
sits there waiting for another kill
