Mama, where's your little daughter?
She's here, right here on the altar.
You should never have opened that door
Now you're never gonna see her no more
You don't know what I can do with this axe
Chop off your head so you better relax.

You should never have opened that door
Now you're never gonna see her no more
You should never have opened that door
Now you're never gonna see her no more
