lyrics

The Haunted House

I saw you just a dream ago
You came to me afraid
You told me where to find your bones
Where to find your grave

And how a lover took you under
But never found the plot
You whispered softly on the wind
“When I rest, you’ll have all I’ve got”

My Bible couldn’t shield my face
Shield it from the bright blue light
I saw at the end of the tunnels
The tunnels of your empty eyes

Your flesh it fell straight through the floor
And your words they were like ice
To lessen all those weary words
My heart would not think twice

So when I finally buried you
In a proper plot of sleep
I noticed the handprint on my sleeve
Your touch that went so deep

You said to place a finger bone
In the collection plate the next day
And so when your lover placed his tithe
He wouldn’t get away

Scrapin’, clawin’, it did no good
He couldn’t remove the proof
He’d cruelly choked out your young life
And now he’d get his due

Walkin' from the gallows when
The price was finally paid
I noticed again your handprint
Never would it wash away

The blue light of your empty eyes
I still see
The blue light of your empty eyes
I still see
