Bell, Book and Candle

Bell, Book and Candle

Well I've been through the doors of evil,
In a time of my own.
And I've had words with the devil
In the twilight zone.

Bell, Book and Candle,
Twelve men good and true;
Bell, Book and Candle,
Is death the end of you?

Now I've been to the House of Usher,
Seen the Pit and the Pendulum;
Watched the lion lay down with the falcon,
And the lamb with the raven too.

Bell, Book and Candle,
Twelve men good and true;
Bell, Book and Candle,
Is death the end of you?

They say your soul goes on living,
But I'm a body too;
And I'm asking what's the pleasure
In a disembodied screw?

Bell, Book and Candle,
Twelve men good and true;
Bell, Book and Candle,
Is death the end of you?
