    LYRICS:
    Alice isn't it frightening
    Alice aren't you scared
    Alice isn't it wonderful
    Living life afraid
    Don't look around the corner
    I might be lurking there
    Under the bed at night
    You're up till dawn again
    Alison hell, your mind begins to fold
    Alison hell, aren't you growing cold
    Alison hell, you are looking blue
    Alice in hell, what else can you do
    Alice
    I begin my rule, life hideous in your mind
    Crying out, you've lost your doll
    It isn't worth a dime
    Alison hell, your mind begins to fold
    Alison hell, aren't you growing cold
    Alison hell, what are you looking for
    Alice in hell, soon I close the door
    Sitting in the corner, you are naked and alone
    No one listened to your fears, you've created me
    Alice isn't it frightening
    Alice aren't you scared
    I was killed at birth
    I shoot this final scene
    You're in the basement
    You're trapped insanity
    Alison hell, what were you looking for
    Alison hell, as I close the door
    Alison hell, here you shall dwell
    Alison hell, alice dwells in hell
    Alice
    Alice
    Alison
    Alice
    In hell
    Goodbye

      To be honest this was the only Annihilator album I really really liked (and is one of my favorite albums in general), and his vocals are a big part of why, even if he probably wasn't what Jeff had in mind for a vocalist.
      Plus he had one of the coolest stage names in rock/metal IMO.

    This scared me so much when I was 13/14 that I freaked and went into a month long period of horrible fear, but listening to it and watching the video now at age 39 I think this is just telling a very upsetting story about a child whose fears are neglected by her parents. Parents can never know exactly what is going on in a child's mind and also nobody can "read" another person's feelings. I think Annihilator wrote this with a good heart and this is for education purposes and to create a very dark atmosphere. It's really a great song and I wish Annihilator had done better for themselves here then they did. They were raved about in all my metal mags and the interviews I always read and thought they sounded like really cool guys, but being Canadian the industry in America gave them the cold shoulder. Our own great bands got the cold shoulder. Look at what happened thanks to poor marketing and promotion. It goes on now and there is absolutely no point in thinking anything is going to change. We have the corporate interests to blame not just for bands, but for far graver matters as well.

And the initial idea - a young girl traumatized by the death of her brother and thus clinging to his music as a way to keep him close - was great. But the character itself... I'm just SO tired of movies and other media portraying metalheads as unstable, violent, and unable to function in a normal society. Still, I was enjoying the movie - until she BURNED DOWN the village's church for literally no reason at all, other than being 'inspired' by the recent black metal trend.

    There are so many things to comment on about this song. There's the fact that the vocalist just appears at a certain point in this video, the fact that the second guitarist is ignored in the video, the fact that it has so many intros and sections to the song, but what I think is very interesting is how the vocalist managed to keep this song catchy as fuck with the vocals, yet there were multiple instances where he didn't rhyme the lyrics. As a vocalist/lyricist myself, I usually use rhymes in my lyrics, even when I'm writing this kind of music. It's crazy how he just made that happen. Much respect to him, may he rest in peace.
