"Abbey Of Synn" Lyrics

Once upon a time, as in ancient history
High upon a hill, in a shroud of mystery
Loomed the abbey, as we journeyed through the night
And wended our way towards the light.

As we entered through the gates, we heard the silent calls
There was something evil that lurked within these walls
As I relive my days in this godforsaken place
All that appears before me now... is her face

Another man died today like the ones before (Like the ones before)
With blackened tongue and blackened finger (Blackened finger)
Within the labyrinth behind the bolted door (Behind the bolted door)
Lies the answer to our mystery

Heed the book that kills. It holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within
The Abbey of Synn

We found the secret path that led us here to you (Led us here to you)
Give us the deadly book of laughter (Deadly book of laughter)
Too many men have died for a teaching of the few (Teaching of the few)
Open up your heart, reveal the mystery

Heed the book that kills. I holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within
The Abbey of Synn

And then she came to me, like a creature from the dawn
Enchanting as the moon, radiant as the sun
She took the boy in me, and gave me back a man
With a force I could not withstand

The seer burned the abbey down, and perished in the fire
We couldn't save the book. The flames were rising higher
So many died in vain for an ancient discipline
Laughter kills the fear within
The Abbey of Synn

Heed the book that kills, It holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within
The Abbey of Synn
