--Transcriber's Notes--

I have spent the past 6 months on these songs trying to

get them as perfect as possible. If you think further

corrections are needed, have the updated solos, or a

better version of this song please mail me at ArchEnemies

been hard at work making my previous 'FSSD' tabs better.

Enjoy!

--'THE HAUNTING' LYRICS--

Music: Skolnick, Peterson

Lyrics: Souza, Peterson

BRIDGE:

Hear the screams,screams of fright

Shrieks of terror through the night

Souls of old band to hold

The meeting for the haunting night

CHORUS:

Headless ghosts fill the halls

Shadow plays of grief and pain

Phantom speaks his final note

Tenants of the castle slain

Black cats will appear

As the witching hour nears

Lost souls will all be told

For a haunting we will go

See their dreams come to life

Under pressure holding tight

Feel the cold grabbing hold

To feed you to the haunting night

Evil witch black as pitch

Starts a fire with a flinch

Burning fire rising higher

Making music like a choir

Stay away from the shining light

Can't seem to find the answer there

Bring back the terror in the night

That we all share tonight
