    I heard there was a secret chord
    that David played and it pleased the Lord.
    But you don't really care for music, do you?

    Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

    Cradle Of Filth - Her Ghost In The Fog

    As spoken on the album by Doug Bradley AKA: Pinhead from the film Hellraiser.

    Simply the most theatrical intro I've heard.
    It paves the way for an epic story of love and revenge.

    The Moon She Hangs Like a Cruel Portrait
    Sort Winds Whisper The Bidding of Trees
    As This Tradegy Starts With a Shattered Glass Heart
    And The Minnightmare Trampling Of Dreams...

    But oh!, No Tears please
    Fear And Pain May Accompany Death
    But it is Desire That Sheperds It's Certanty

    As We Shall See...



    Utterly fantastic!
