An Empty House Lyrics by Mark Lenover

Grieve, Mourn and Wail

0

An empty house, where no one goes
With iron bars on its windows
Echoes with a strange applause
A mangled promise in its jaws

The emptiness is not disturbed
By a drowsing gallows bird
His folded hands upon his chest
More a prisoner than a guest

Wake me up and kill my dreams
So I can finally get some rest
Burn the chaff, and collect what’s left

Every hour the slumbering bird
Commits a quiet massacre
He never sings, he never flies
He never even goes outside

Wake me up and kill my dreams
Of suicide and blinding grief
Lord, help me in my unbelief

Wake me up and kill my dreams...
