so we shall sleep.

Poison ivy winding on cave walls
Swirling water leaks
Silhouettes break songs into ever fruit
The bonfire grows and creaks

The fire contagious
Infects the fields it will spread
Don't mention the vines as they
Wind round your head

Nails on a chalkboard scratching
Voices catching
On chains and iron bars
Just ignore the moon and stars

Pealing of the coffin bells
Falling off the stairwells
Grinning as I watch them weep
So we shall sleep

Icy trails left by the hand of the night
Windows shattering
The waves come closer enveloping the land
Figures chattering

The fire contagious
Infects the fields it will spread
Don't mention the vines as they
Wind round your head

Nails on a chalkboard scratching
Voices catching
On chains and iron bars
Just ignore the moon and stars

Pealing of the coffin bells
Falling off the stairwells
Grinning as I watch them weep
So we shall sleep

Dancing, drifting, meaningless faces
They're opening the rift
The elder ones they tell their stories
The times will naught but shift

Nails on a chalkboard scratching
Voices catching
On chains and iron bars
Just ignore the moon and stars

Pealing of the coffin bells
Falling off the stairwells
Grinning as I watch them weep
So we shall sleep
