In the Dead of Night

Waiting, waiting, waiting, your eternal sin
Waiting to hear the warbler to sing
In a house it's never been seen

500 years of desperation
Always waiting for a new start
Why stay in damnation
If you're so sick of the dark
The constant worry of your mother
Dein Vater liebt dich mit einem aber
As the fever sets, the shadows stretch
To grab you, hold you down

And here you are, trapped in this place
Caligari hallways, empty portraits
God, where were you when I needed?

Waiting, waiting, waiting, your eternal sin
Waiting for the warbler to sing
In a house it's never been seen

You made it through the winter
Scratched up but here you are
No more jumping out the window
Just to touch the floor
Play in nice, play it safe
Walk the road that's forever paved
Wouldn't want to get locked away... again

And here you are, trapped in this place
Caligari hallways, empty portraits
God, where were you when I needed?

Waiting, waiting, waiting, your eternal sin
Ballet dancers, bolted gates
Minoan dread on a stage
Bashes to bashes, ashes day by day
Gilded spring, August taste
Whats a soul next to a pay?

Billionaires laugh, think they'll fix everything
Always the small dogs, that bark like they're big
The lonely bull watches you from the garden
Chained to the apple tree gone rotten

And here you are, trapped in this place
Caligari hallways, empty portraits
God, where were you when I needed?

There is still fire in your soul
Pull out the wolf from your chest

No longer a girl
Will you fall in line?
Or burn it all down
In the dead of night?

And here you are, trapped in this place
Can you escape the empty portraits?
God, where were you when I needed?

There is still fire in your soul
Pull out the wolf from your chest

Because every day is a new beginning
How sweet you'd sound, if you started singing
You're not alone, because I love you
You're not alone, because I love you
