lyrics

I’ve seen the ghost trail caravan raise ash to breath in our old town. I’ll take you down the velvet road. I’ll take you anywhere now that your prophecies betrayed you, left you stranded in a day that never comes or comes in whispers of what cannot be and never was. In these empty halls, we wake the ballrooms of forgotten days. Unearthed, the statues come alive. They twitch and tremble in the night, and spin a broken waltz in their crooked revelry. I swore I saw the stranger with the skeleton key.

Oh where oh where are you’ve been gone for far too long. Away, away with you! We’ll ride straight for the dawn with a curse upon your hillside, a curse upon your walls, a vow to break a spell, and a curse to save us all.

I am not inclined to die, and I am not here for your life. I am the thief you swore you’d fight, but now you choose to hide behind me. In every final hour, know I always want you near. Can you hear the madman laughing, cause it’s only dark in here? You’ll find me where you left me on this haunted carousel. In that old familiar fever, we were gone before we fell. I was born to lie beside you under cemetery vines, and born to wander ever after you beneath this mortal sky.

I’m not the one you were missing in the moonlight. I’m not the phantom you were chasing through the afterlife. A curse upon your hillside. A curse upon your walls. A vow to break a spell, and a curse to save us all.

Where’d you get your number? Where’d you hide the others? You never should have come here wearing your mother’s clothes. It was only a mannequin asleep inside the bassinet. They stagger in behind you, and they tell you not to go. Keep your knives under the piano. Keep your sins for the gallows. I’ve been half sick of shadows with half a mind to run. Keep your secrets for the vagabonds, and keep your broken albatross. Believe me that our day will come. Keep your head held high. The waves bewitched the mariner. Delusion never found her. The echo was the harbinger that carried us to shore…where the eyes of portraits follow me. Down every hall, they’re watching me. They are not what they claim to be. On their wires, we twitch and seethe. My dear, we nearly lost you. They possessed you with their charms. You wore them like an amulet, a traitor’s coat of arms. Dance off your demons, and cast this fickle ship far out to sea. With brittle sails, we will ride to your forgotten dreams where we can raise the dead, and we can rage against the light. Be still, my reckless heart. We are the damned. We own the night.

Oh where oh where are you’ve been gone for far too long. Away, away with you! We’ll ride straight for the dawn with a curse upon your hillside, a curse upon your walls, a vow to break a spell, and a curse to save us all. My sweet mirage, run away with me. Oh yellow bird, will you wait for me? A curse upon your hillside. A curse upon your walls. This vow will break our spell, and this curse will save us all.
