House on a Hill Somewhere (feat. Dianne Schlotterlein)

It was a long time ago but not long enough
To ease the fear and the shame
On a night cold and dark I met a man in the park
Somehow he knew my name

I didn't have inhibitions
Or know the meaning of fear, He said
There's a place I know where anything goes.
It was music to my young ears

"Little girl," he laughed, "go home to your mother
You're really not that tough
There'll be danger and thrills, the kind that can kill
I couldn't say yes fast enough

Before that night was over
I'd seen the depths of despair
And the edge of ecstasy
In a house on a hill somewhere

There were so many in that place
I thought how bad could it be?
I loved the boom boom boom in the big party room.
I thought at last I'd be free

I don't remember a window
And there was only one door
Once we were in, whatever the sin
We always wanted more

There was a huge brick fireplace
And up above it I saw
A gilt-framed sign that read 'Do what thou wilt
Shall be the whole of the law

Then things began to happen
And there was death in the air
Some lives were lost, others taken
And no one seemed to care

The room was filled with monsters
Devils without a disguise
There was a girl my age and a boy in a rage
I saw the life drain from her eyes
Minute by minute all restraint faded away
Souls were destroyed, and through all the noise
I heard the stranger say

Isn't this what you wanted?
How did you think it would be?
This was all decided when you threw in your lot with me.

I got up from the floor and fell back to my knees
I raised my eyes to heaven and cried... please

I don't remember how I got back to the park
Someone heard me scream
What are you doing here, oh my poor little dear?
You've had such a nasty dream

Hear me, o my brothers
The devil you shouldn't dare
Lest you wind up like the others
In a house on a hill somewhere
