The Mortar of the Night
What should I say?
Oh oh
Ah ha
Oh oh
A two-by-four well varnished
Another board across the first
A leader of my own procession
I carried the cross in my hands
Awoken by a strange feeling
Unable to move at all
Sweat soaked my body
As I rose from my bed
In my mind I tried to reason
I felt the finger on my eye
I was held fast against my will
I was held fast against my bed
Held so tight
Another night that I remember
Hands danced around the light
I cried out but no one listened
I cried out but no one cared
It used to rain in my bedroom
But no one cares at all
In my mind I tried to reason
I felt the finger on my eye
I was held fast against my will
I was held fast against my bed
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
I don't think I ever awoke that night
And I still sleep
Deep in the mortar of the night
Of the night
Of the night
Held so tight
Oh oh
Ah ha
Oh oh
A two-by-four well varnished
Another board across the first
A leader of my own procession
I carried the cross in my hands
Awoken by a strange feeling
Unable to move at all
Sweat soaked my body
As I rose from my bed
In my mind I tried to reason
I felt the finger on my eye
I was held fast against my will
I was held fast against my bed
Held so tight
Another night that I remember
Hands danced around the light
I cried out but no one listened
I cried out but no one cared
It used to rain in my bedroom
But no one cares at all
In my mind I tried to reason
I felt the finger on my eye
I was held fast against my will
I was held fast against my bed
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
In the dark of the night
(In the mortar of the night
In the mortar of the night)
I don't think I ever awoke that night
And I still sleep
Deep in the mortar of the night
Of the night
Of the night
Held so tight
