lyrics

THE TOWN

Hidden in the hills of the far and wild west
there's a town no one calls by its name
Nothing seems to bother the good folks of said town
but the devil lies in details

Houses are all even and the people living there
never ever leave their home at night
Chimneys are all there but you'll never see the smoke
since no fireplace has wood to burn

And the nights seem all darker even if you have your eyes closed
every shadow leans to swallow even if you have your fingers crossed

There's a time every year, when the moon and stars align
that the pastor rings a single bell
And the lantern by the well, in the center of the town
burns a fire from the depths of hell

And then the mist / rises from the well / filled with waters / drawn from river Styx / And then the dead / follow the light / for they will feast / 'til morning comes

Searching for the homes, with the sign on the door
of the blood that is still warm and from innocence is drawn
from a child of their own, who will never see the sun again

The poor people of this town, they have lived much past their lives
damned to pay this sacrifice, because once upon a time
they thought they could outrun and maybe cheat the lord of death himself

And there's a time every year, when sun begins to rise
that the pastor rings another bell
And the kids that never grow, form a line with the dead
which they follow to the old damn well

But they know that soon enough, when the moon and stars align
and the pastor rings a single bell
they will march again on earth, to the town they will return
and they'll have their parents meet their hell
