about

I first wrote this song when I was 17, and since it's still one of my favourite things I've ever made, I figured it deserved a new, improved, polished version- just in time for spooky season!

I hope you like it!

lyrics

Lyrics:

I don’t have the pleasure of knowing your name,
But what does it matter? You’re all the same.
Batten your hatches and lock up your daughters-
There’s another cadaver floating in the water of the well.

This town is a crucible, and we’re boiling alive.
Every night there’s another face in the fire.
And it’s nothing personal, but a stranger’s a riddle-
For all that we know, you could be the devil.

The woods are watching, and the things in the shadows play with our souls,
And the fires dance on the coals
And the toes of the strangers.
The well waters are aglow
And they shine on the stones down below.
We don’t know why, the dead make it so
They make it so.

This place is a crooked one, and it’s under a curse.
The veil is a’ ragged here, and the devil came through first.
The bells are tolling, sweet and clear
The woods are echoing, the dark is a mirror.
