lyrics

I’ve walked alone in this house
Seen things that cannot be explained
And in my thirty long years
The ghosts have been my only companion

And in this service
A lone specter rises
A woman’s figure in the dark
Chills my bones to the core
And demands my attention

And what of this apparition
Who is she, what does she want
And I forget what people always do
My fists clenched, my face taught
I find the strength to speak
To the monster in the dark
Hoping to get an answer
But her anger did I spark

Glass shatters, things fly
She is enraged, I don’t know why
I try to shield myself from the objects flying
I scream “I don’t know what you want”
She screams at me “You’re lying”
In my horror I’m speechless
I can’t think what she means
I claim I don’t know what you wants
She screams

The hallways echo now
With the screams of the dead
I try to run for the door
Now they’re in my head
This has never happened before
Will I soon be dead
I cannot leave this house
I try to hide instead

Nothing is forever

In the quiet now, she speaks again
“You killed me,” she says
I remember now in vivid clarity
How once she came and enticed
In oppression by a dark obsession
Now I know my wrong
I grabbed a piece of broken glass and slash my throat
Now we are together all eternity long
