Upon the Stair
Seven children snatched away from a black and white masquerade, Leave an outlined mystery in this landscape once serene. This room plays host to un-numbered ghosts, each one of them betrayed: Not by flesh nor photograph, but something in between.
A terrible rumour of nightmare itself, Dare not you whisper my name.
'I am the one that casts the ghastly shadow on the wall The murmur in the long-locked room - that echo in the hall The after-image on your eyes - the bite of autumn air The icy touch upon your flesh - the ghost upon the stair'
Those screams that came from silent mouths are frozen for all time And reproduced for pleasure in this landscape framed in white. Whilst rituals of hide and seek do mask a darker purpose To prey on youthful purity and bleed them dry of light.
'I am the one that looks away yet am always here Caught in every instance that is rendered by the light. I walk the darkened corridor of this, the mortal sphere A creeping eyeless nightmare treading through your dreams tonight'
Send forth the mists of those that creep the earth And carry fearful rumour of my dreadful legacy:
The Watcher in the Darkness, The Man without a Face The Shape, The Blackened Avatar, The Keeper of the Key.
On the edge of each glance I am just out of sight - My shadow spills over your floor 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 At every dark window, in each photograph -I lurk behind every locked door
The fragile flesh of innocence is beguiled by sweetened lies But mirrored prisons cannot halt the clocks nor time rescind. Banish you to monochrome and trap you behind glass Exit to the sound of crows and scattered to the winds.
Lying awake at night in fear and tremble in your beds Pray to the pale redeemer that's nailed to the cross above your heads Plead for forgiveness, mercy, implore whoever's there For I'll be waiting outside in silence, upon the stair.
Heed you all this warning when from cold sweat you awaken Destroy you every photograph - and never have one taken For when the restless winds do howl and fires of greed aburn When hatred chills the mortal blood, await you my return. 'See Saw Scare down- which is the way to London Town? One foot up- one foot down- This is the way to London Town.'
'And so I slip deep down into the corners of your mind Schemes and themes and childhood dreams, now ashes left behind The paths unseen and ways betweeen I walk the darkling way I bring the velvet curtain down upon your childhood's play.'
'Yesterday upon the stair-you met me though I wasnt there I wasn't there again, today - On your stair I fade away'
