You can black out every window

You can padlock all the doors

You might think that I'm mistaken

But the choice will not be yours

Charming snakes with soothing voices

Will disarm you to the core

They will sense your every weakness

It's the chance they're waiting for

These strangers come and go

Dressed all in dead men's clothes

They'll steal your broken heart but slowly

This night the moon won't glow

Like blood the darkness flows

The end is near but you don't know it

No reflection in the mirror

Nor a footprint in the dust

Every soul a walking shadow

That your heart should never trust

Resurrected men now monsters

From medieval tomes appear

Seeking out memento mori

As they wander through the years

These strangers come and go

Dressed all in dead men's clothes

They'll steal your broken heart but slowly

This night the moon won't glow

Like blood the darkness flows

The end is near but you don't know it

Ten grains of sand slip through the hourglass

Cold hands caress your mortal soul

Still you feel warm like you are loved at last

But your lot's been cast

A nightmare born of faith beyond control

So you say you don't believe me

But the truth is that I know

There's a land beyond forgiveness

Where the chosen victims go

Huddled souls in windy hollows

Wander headlong through the haze

Some will lead, the rest will follow

All are lost within the maze

These strangers come and go

Dressed all in dead men's clothes

They'll steal your broken heart but slowly

This night the moon won't glow

Like blood the darkness flows

The end is near but you don't know it
