[Verse 1]
House on the hill
Is standing there still
But nobody lives there
Anymore
All the kids in town
They gather all around
And dare each other to go
Knock upon the door
Around, weeds have grown
Over the moss-covered stones
A graveyard for those
Who once lived there and died

[Chorus]
It was a long time ago, oh oh, oh-oh oh
When the wicked wind did blow, oh oh, oh-oh oh

[Verse 2]
Woman driven mad
When her love had come bad
A man she was going to marry
Stood her up at the church
She put on her wedding gown
And flew down to the ground
Out her bedroom window
Like a bird on a perch
Now a strange silhouette
Seen in that window in the west
As she runs through this house
In eternal pain and hurt

[Chorus]
It was a long time ago, oh oh, oh-oh oh
When the wicked wind did blow, oh oh, oh-oh oh

[Verse 3]
A shadow has been cast
Over the bloodshed from the past
A little baby clinging
To his dead mother's breast
Footsteps in the hall
And bloodstains on the walls
Distorted faces in the mirror
Long for peace and final rest
Behind these iron gates
Lies the souls who've sold their fate
Eternally bound beyond their will
To this house on the hill

[Chorus]
It was a long time ago, oh oh, oh-oh oh
When the wicked wind did blow, oh oh, oh-oh oh
