Album: Make It Dark (2011)

White Shadow

Sudden terror splits the calmness
Thirteenth hour visions

Schizophrenia, something's restless
Freezing then I'm burning

Watch the windows, watch the doorway
Strange manifestations

Peering through the drawing me closer
Hourglass of quicksand

Fate's unknowingly frozen
My eyes just can't believe
Soul of someone or something
Show yourself to me
If I call out to you would you come shining through

Form filled out of the darkness
Love-lit violet eyes
Sold my soul in a moment
To follow you around
And it seems vain pursuit is the best I can do

A white shadow moves under the moonlight
Who whispers aloud betrothed to night

While lady won't you walk with me a while
Miss Crestfallen are you dying on inside

If O slipped away would you come to stay
Two hour hands entwined

Or was the wishing well a place to dwell
For two creatures of our kind

Death deceiver, make believer
Mist-witch of the nighttime

Make me crazy, maiden save me
Won't you cut my life line

[Repeat chorus]

Sullen rapture, fire exciter
Walk me through the garden

Take me to the place where stands
Your hundred year old headstone

Tangle of spells, double death knells
Chiming through the churchyard

Splattered blood-red early sunset
Clock ticks towards disaster

[Repeat chorus]
