ELWOOD There’s a haunted town full of whispered tales About a creaking house of mystery This brooding, moldy tomb With a crooked garret room Hides a devilish history
Behind its slanting walls, a lurking place Unbounded void transcending time and space Stay one night and leave no room for doubt You’ll suffer fevered dreams in the Witch House
GILMAN Centuries ago in a pious, fearful town A witch stood trial for being godless Sentenced to be hung at dawn On the prison walls she’d drawn Lines and curves, then she vanished! Her disappearance never was explained Be it Satan’s work or sorceries attained Stay the night and soon you’ll be aroused Some say she lingers still in the Witch House

ARKHAM CHOIR Within these moldy dank walls, a newborn baby cries A wicked rat roams, it’s the devil in disguise
GILMAN Behind these slanting walls, a lurking place
ELWOOD Unbounded void transcending time and space
GILMAN + ELWOOD Just stay the night, and soon you’ll be aroused Some say she lingers still in the Witch House
WITCH Behind these slanting walls, a lurking place Unbounded void transcending time and space Stay the night and leave no room for doubt You’ll suffer fevered dreams in the Witch House
ELWOOD He was a genius. Truly gifted.
FATHER IWANICKI Who, my son?
ELWOOD My friend, Walter Gilman. We were classmates at Miskatonic and rented rooms in the same house. They call it the Witch House.
FATHER IWANICKI Ah yes. Legend has it the accused witch, Keziah Mason once lived there. Why would you choose such a place? ELWOOD Poor students can’t afford to be picky.
FATHER IWANICKI True.
ELWOOD It was cheap, but Walter really wanted to live there because of its history.
FATHER IWANICKI It’s a dark history, unholy.
ELWOOD Walter had no fear of that. The story of Keziah fascinated him. Soon after we moved in he began to hear strange noises there. He called it the endless cacophony. All I heard were the constant prayers of our neighbor, Mr. Mazurewicz.
