I rode along the weary road
Beneath the skies a heavy load
A letter from a distant friend
To Usher's house my path did wend
The mansion loomed in shadows deep
A place where secrets vigil keep
Roderick met me pale and frail
His haunted eyes told a tragic tale
Oh the House of Usher stands
On haunted ground and withered lands
Echoes of a distant pain
Whisper through each cracked windowpane
His sister Madeline ghostly sight
Drifted through the halls at night
A sickness dwelled within their veins
An ancient curse that still remains
We read and played to calm his mind
But dread and fear we couldn't bind
A storm arose with lightning's glare
A cry resounded through the air
Oh the House of Usher falls
As darkness grips its crumbling walls
Shadows stretch and foundations quake
Under the weight of souls that ache
Madeline burst from tomb below
Her shroud of death a chilling show
They fell entwined their lives undone
As walls came down I had to run
Now the House of Usher's gone
Into the depths where ghosts belong
Reflections fade the story ends
A solemn tale of fallen friends
