Lyrics
When we were young with wonder and exploring every dream
We'd giggle with abandon--the dark would make us scream
Seeking stranger spirits, we'd unleash the Ouija Board
And hold a sceance in the darkness, and tempt the specter hoard
We opend up Pandora's Box when we were only kids
But dazzled by the flicker, we forgot to close the lid
CH:
We fear the troll beneath the bed, the spectres lurking overhead
The ghost behind the closet door, tell-tale heart beneath the floor
If only we knew what to do to put the banshee back into Pandora's Box.
Huddling in the darkness, older shadows on the wall
We gather by the candle and wonder at the pall
Where are all the villagers with torches in their hands
Pitch forks at the ready, Cain at their command?
We opend up Pandora's Box when we were only kids
But dazzled by the flicker, we forgot to close the lid
CH:
We fear the troll beneath the bed, the spectres lurking overhead
The ghost behind the closet door, tell-tale heart beneath the floor
If only we knew what to do to put the banshee back into Pandora's Box.
