turn the lamp down low 
shelter me 
turn the lamp down low 
rising up to see 
please don't go 
 
do you feel a flame that's burning 
as the candle dies 
do you see the spirits stirring 
as you close your eyes 
do you sense the slow advancement 
as the twilight thins 
do you see the serpent dancing 
as it sheds its skin 
 
turn the lamp down low 
please don't go 
 
does the sun renounce it's kingdom  
as the shadows fall 
does a fool rejoice in wisdom 
when the raven calls 
do you embrace the dancing clayman  
as he tears your flesh 
do you hear the souls screaming 
in the serpents mesh 
 
turn the lamp down low  
please don't go 
 
do you need the consolation 
of a dead man's hand  
as the tears of desolation 
flood a dead man's land 
do you seek your souls redemption 
under fervent skies 
don't you see your own reflection 
in the serpent's eye
