It's always been so silent I'm all alone at night Standing by my window As the hours pass me by
Sometimes I think someone's here I see him in the glass And if he's real, then maybe Maybe I have a friend at last
This room is sanctuary This house is all I know Locked inside for safety I've never dared to go
No one else to play with Mother is my only friend She warns me of the outside The dangers I could never comprehend
But suddenly he's there A voice to speak my name He comes and then he's gone It's our secret game
And now he shows me places I've never seen before The rooms she's locked and hidden An unknown name on a forbidden door
What are you doing down here? Haven't I told you not to go sneaking around Who are you talking to? You'll be sorry if you make another sound
Take my hand, elijah And stay the night with me We'll walk these halls together There's so much more to see
In this room she kept from me I've found another face Just like mine but different I see, I took her place
Memories begin to stir Is this where I belong? A shadow growing in my mind Fed by elijah's song
Why are you down here? Haven't I told you to obey Why can't you just behave yourself? Why can't you do as I say?
Speak to me, elijah Tell me all the things you've seen Tell me what you've seen All these images that haunt me Tell me what do they all mean
The life you think you know Is just a cruel game They took you from your home And robbed you of your name
You've got to leave this place That's why I've come for you They killed your family And soon they'll kill you too
My brother's voice brought tears to my eyes I understood all the lies And I knew what must be done I made my plan I'd have her blood on my hands
I'm creeping down the hall I've got the knife in my hand Elijah leads me on as I make my stand Now at the side of the bed I pray and drive the knife in But mother screams in rage As the chase begins
She hunts me in the night I see the house catch flame And rising from their graves More girls who lost their names
Now, now is the time Now you will pay You took my brother, my family away This is my reckoning day What do you have to say?
How dare you accuse me? (because you killed us) Can't you see how much I loved you You should have been our daughters What more could we do?
The spirits dragged her down into the flames Where she lies still to this day (she lies still to this day) Where she lies still to this day And I left that fire burning I felt the fear fade away
I remember elijah My brother from a life long gone Take my hand, elijah (we'll fly away) We'll fly away (we'll fly away) We'll fly away We'll fly away into the dawn
