Anyone out there a Nox Arcana fan? I was listening to their “Gothic” album one day and got this idea. The manor mentioned in the album is Grimstone Manor, and the intro to the album inspired me to do some more spooky October art, this time with Miss Trixie Lulamoon.
 
Nox Arcana, Album “Gothic”, track, “Testament”, “The House Beyond the Graveyard”
 
 
Welcome to Grimstone Manor.  
I hereby bequeath to you, my last surviving heir  
My mansion and all the secrets it holds
 
You may still have distant recollections of your ancestral home.  
But perhaps some things are best left buried in the past…  
Your inheritance is not without condition, however.
 
Should you wish to claim all that is rightfully yours  
You must stay here in this house, on this very night, alone  
Where you shall remain locked inside from dusk until dawn
 
Only by facing your fears can you truly embrace that which dwells in the darkness  
Perhaps you shall come to understand and embrace your true heritage as well…..

The house beyond the graveyard  
Is no place to stay the night  
For once its ancient doors creak shut  
There is no escape in sight
 
The old house looks deserted  
Abandoned and forsaken  
But every night as darkness falls  
Its residents awaken
 
Shadows roam the cobwebbed halls  
And whispers fill the rooms  
And in the cold crypts far below  
The dead rise from their tombs
 
So if you dare to venture there  
Leave long before night falls  
Lest you join the restless ghosts  
That haunt its shadowed halls…
