I know only what I hear
Silence - all I've come to fear
While sleeping I dream of
A house where secrets bleed
Your echoes I see them
The crutch on which I lean
Do I trust my gut feeling or perception?
Adhere to eerie intuition for direction?
Stripped of my sight but I still got vision
I'll follow my calling
But all that I can do now is listen
A rope, a ticket, an apple, an axe
Something I dreamed, what does it mean
Feels like all of the walls are closing in
And something is hunting for me
In echo bluff, you never trust your eyes
Because they're gonna deceive
Maybe hearing is enough
I wouldn't even wanna see (wanna see)
Doors squeaking, floors creaking
Hear that hoarse breathing
Tormented ghosts around me no more sleepin'
I'm followed by a faceless phantom in a cowl
If the ground on which I walk
Is hallowed why's it smelling foul
Am I bound to be another
Headcount upon the gallows
Every scream swallowed by the wind
As the wicked winter howls
Unforgiven unforgotten sins
Balanced with revenge
Listen to the memories' echoes
And then you can repent
A fire burns, the house has woken
Evil stirs, got the embers stoking
Can this curse, ever be broken
Too bad the verdict's already spoken
Sunken secrets surface
And now they're floatin'
Past and present become interwoven
Fear the presence
You can even hear the omens
Some doors are best left unopened
(Left unopened, Left unopened)
Some doors are best left unopened
(Left unopened, Left unopened)
Am I afflicted? (You are afflicted)
Or am I gifted? (Or am I gifted)
My world is sightless I'll never get home
Unless I'm guided
By the light of your echoes
I trust my senses (why trust your senses)
Truth is enlightening (truth can be blinding)
Raise my defenses (break your defenses)
What are you hiding (why are you hiding)
Drawn in, like moths to the flame
Justice sought out from the grave
Unfinished business (Unfinished business)
No peace in death (No peace in death)
I'm coming for you (I'm coming for you)
To put you to rest (To put you to rest)
I feel my dread grow with every death throe
Like a rope around my neck
Choking me, I hope it lets go
The house can hear my every step
I'd better tread slow voices in my head
It's like a record that broke
Could it be magic? Perphaps an evil hex, no
If I've been bewitched
Wouldn't my sixth sense know?
Skeletons in my closet take a step forward
Will history repeat, am I an echo?
Am I afflicted? (You are afflicted)
Or am I gifted? (Or am I gifted)
My world is sightless I'll never get home
Unless I'm guided
By the light of your echoes (Echoes)
(Echoes, Echoes)
(Echoes)
