HOUSE OF WAX

Art is quite useless, my dear Oscar said

But in my hands a dead soul comes to life again,

I am Doctor Frankenstein of art, Marie Antoinette,

Lincoln and his murderer,

More real than reality ever could be.

My brothers and sisters, my only kin,

My day and night, my only fascination.

I melt caressing their soft bodies,

Touching my tender heart,

Come inside, take part in the ressurection of history

Come inside, slip inside time itself

One night my business-partner,

The vicious Mr Burke burnt my life work,

Mutilating my hands and face,

Everything I had in flames

My revenge, my revenge, my revenge,

My mind, my hands, my heart,

Anxiety my device, vice the new virtue,

Foundation of the rise of the new house of wax,

Built on flesh and blood, built on guilt,

My face an ugly mask, I am the monster greed created,

Join me in hell’s kitchen,

I offer you eternal life in wax !

Be prepared (3x),

For the House of Wax (3x)

I’m so unhappy, I don’t even feel my own unhappiness,

An overdose of double morality leads to immorality,

I cross the line between good and bad,

Don’t hide for mister Hide,

He’ll get you anyway;

Sold my soul to the dark angel of Revenge,

No remorse, no pity, I am all confidence.

I wander in the streets at night,

Seeking new life, new inhabitants for my house,

They can check in but they can never leave,

Replacements, rearrangements,

Mummifying, melting, moulding,

A wig on your head, glass eyes so shimmering

Like stars, no wrinkles, eternal youth, admiration,

A new star is born !

Be prepared (6x),

For the House of Wax (7x)

Eternity, immortality, come inside in the House of Wax

Eternity, immortality, turn yourself in in the House of Wax,

Eternity, immortality, discover yourself in the House of wax,

Eternity, immortality, come inside, come inside, for free.
