Usher Pt. 3
Ghost Quartet Lyrics

Days and nights of bitter grief
We experienced intense sorrow and anguish for an extended period.

Our son had fled to New York City with his cello
Our son ran away to New York City, taking his cello with him.

The lady and I slept in separate chambers
The lady and I slept in different rooms.

As Roxy lay dead in the vault beneath us
Meanwhile, Roxy's lifeless body was in the vault below us.

The dead can sing
Deceased individuals have the ability to produce vocal sounds.

Sleep will not come
We are unable to fall asleep.

There's a storm tonight
A severe storm is happening tonight.

There's a storm tonight
There is still a storm happening tonight.

The dead can sing
Even the deceased are capable of vocalizing.

I gasped and struggled and bolted upright in my bed
I abruptly inhaled sharply, fought, and quickly sat up in my bed.

The terrible wind
The strong and frightening wind

The song of the dead
The melodic sounds produced by the deceased

The storm
The fierce and turbulent weather condition

The storm
The ongoing severe weather event

My wife rapped at the door
My wife knocked on the door.

Can you hear her?
Are you able to perceive her presence?

Throw open the windows
Open the windows wide

Let the storm in
Allow the storm to enter

We don't need moons or stars or God
We do not require the presence of celestial bodies or a deity.

We have the wind
We possess the wind as a sufficient entity.

A terrible wind
An exceptionally powerful wind

My wife's madness had grown to epic proportions
My wife's insanity had escalated significantly.

The only things that soothed her were fictions
The only things that brought her comfort were fictional stories.

Stories from our vast library
Narratives retrieved from our extensive collection of books

Let me read you a story
Permit me to narrate a tale to you

Let me read you a romance
Allow me to recite a love story to you

I will read
I shall orally present the story

You will listen
You will pay attention and hear

And this terrible night will pass
Consequently, this dreadful night will come to an end.

I opened the book
I exposed the contents of the book

Read the title:
Examined the heading:

Book 7, Chapter 10:
Volume 7, Chapter 10:

The tale of Pearl, the Pusher,
The account concerning Pearl, the drug dealer,

And the Subway Driver, and the Photograph
As well as the subway conductor and the image

Pearl stood on the platform
Pearl positioned herself on the train platform

Playing a game on her phone
Engaging in a game using her cellphone

Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level
Attempting to defeat the formidable enemy at the conclusion of the stage

And there's a man on the platform
Furthermore, there is an individual on the platform

Screaming about the apocalypse
Shouting loudly concerning the catastrophic event

And behind her
In the background, following her

Under the raving
Within the chaotic noise

She heard the echo of a footstep
She detected the reverberation created by a single step

And beneath me
Moreover, beneath my location

I heard a footstep
I perceived the sound resulting from a foot's movement

In the house
Inside the dwelling

In the game
Within the interactive entertainment

On the platform
On the elevated structure

Pearl stood on the platform
Pearl positioned herself on the train platform

Playing a game on her phone
Engaging in a game using her cellphone

Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level
Attempting to defeat the formidable enemy at the conclusion of the stage

And the boss was a bear
Moreover, the enemy was a large bear

A great big bear
An enormous bear

How will you defeat him?
What strategy will you utilize to overcome this adversary?

Pearl went to the option menu
Pearl accessed the settings menu

Selected the silver sword
Chose the silver sword as her weapon

And there′s a man on the platform
Furthermore, there is an individual on the platform

Screaming about the train coming
Yelling loudly regarding the impending arrival of the train

Pearl raised the silver sword
Pearl lifted the silver sword

Struck the bear on its side
Delivered a forceful blow to the bear's flank

And the bear shrieked
Consequently, the bear emitted a high-pitched cry

And the bear shrieked
And the bear emitted a high-pitched cry

A shriek so harsh and horrid and piercing
An extremely unpleasant, dreadful, and penetrating shriek

And beneath me
Moreover, beneath my location

Under the raving
Within the chaotic noise

I heard a shrieking
I perceived a loud, shrill sound

My little girl
My young daughter

This has all happened before
These events have occurred previously

Deep within the House of Usher
In the depths of the Usher residence

I heard a flashbulb rip
I heard the sound of a flashbulb tearing

And the dead stood in the doorway
And the deceased individuals were positioned in the entrance

Roxy
Referring to the deceased individual named Roxy

There is blood upon my robes
My garments are stained with blood

And the dead girl leapt upon her mother
The deceased girl jumped onto her mother

And her sister
And her sibling

And her daughter
And her offspring

And her lover
And her romantic partner

With the rage of four generations
The wrath originating from four successive generations

And Lady Usher's heart burst
Consequently, Lady Usher's heart ruptured

Exploded within her chest
Violently burst inside her thoracic cavity

Pearl stood on the platform
Pearl positioned herself on the train platform

Battling the bear
Engaging in combat against the bear

The bear breathed fire
The bear exhaled flames

The bear had acid in his honey pot
The bear possessed acid inside its container of honey

And the train was coming...
Additionally, the train was approaching...

And the train was coming...
Moreover, the train was arriving...

And the train was coming...
Furthermore, the train was approaching...

And the train was coming...
And the train was arriving...

And the man on the platform
Furthermore, the man located on the platform

Screaming about the apocalypse
Yelling loudly regarding the catastrophic event

The man we know as the pusher
The individual known to us as the drug dealer

Took a last drink
Consumed one final beverage

Steeled himself
Mentally prepared himself for the upcoming action

He got behind Pearl
He positioned himself behind Pearl

And the pusher pushed Pearl
And the drug dealer forcefully propelled Pearl

Onto the subway track
Onto the path of the railway tracks

Pushed me into the path of the screaming train
Forced me into the trajectory of the loudly rushing train

I fell onto the track
I descended onto the railway tracks

And everything slowed down
And all movement decelerated

All the color got a little grey
All the hues appeared slightly dull and lacking vibrancy

Do you hear it?
Are you perceiving the sound?

Do you hear it?
Are you able to detect the sound?

Her footstep is on the stair
She is currently walking up the stairs

I saw the train
I observed the approaching train

Howling toward me
Rushing loudly in my direction

Its light was dazzling
The brightness emitted by it was extremely impressive

Blinding
Causing temporary blindness

I tried to climb out
I attempted to ascend and exit

For just a moment
Barely for a brief period

But then I stopped
However, I ceased my movement

I stopped and listened to the train
I halted and listened attentively to the sound produced by the train

The heavy and horrible beating of her heart
The excessively intense and dreadful pounding of her heart

She shrieks
She emits a high-pitched, piercing cry

I tell you she is outside the door!
I assure you she is situated beyond the door!

We have put her living in the tomb!
We have confined her, while alive, within the burial chamber!

And then I looked up on the platform
Subsequently, I directed my gaze upwards to the train platform

And saw Rose
And perceived the presence of Rose

Back from the dead
Resurrected from the state of death

Standing there with her camera
Positioned there, holding her camera

I lifted my head
I elevated my head

And smiled
And demonstrated a facial expression indicating pleasure

Smiled for the camera
Displayed a smile for the camera to capture

You know that moment right before you die
You are aware of that precise instant immediately prior to your demise

Is such a gift
It is an extraordinary blessing

Because you get to choose what goes through your head
Since you can decide what thoughts occupy your mind

What your last song will be
Which melody will serve as your final composition

I thought of someone I love very much
I contemplated an individual whom I care for deeply

Smiling in bed
Exhibiting a joyful facial expression while lying in bed

Clutching a teddy bear
Holding onto a teddy bear tightly

And then
Subsequently

I let the train rip through me
I allowed the train to tear through my body
