Moonlit Manor Entrance

I step through the gate

When the candlelight shakes

The manor is breathing

The old wood wakes

Moon on the marble

A silver disguise

I hear every shadow

Pretend not to sigh

My heartbeat is quiet, my smile is still

The hall gives a whistle

But I do not kneel, I came as a guest with a knight on my sate

And I wear every fear like a cloak I can hide

Take me into the manor

Let the darkness know my name

I walk through the thunder

I don't come here tame

Unblur the moonlight

I'm a spark in the gloom

A fearless guest with a key to the room

Take me into the manor that the old walls sing

I step like a promise, I step like a king

And the ghosts in the rafters can look all they want

I was born for the chill, for the creep, for the haunt

The ticking goes thinner, the staircase replies

With a pulse in the plaster and a blink in the eyes

Portraits keep secrets behind their stove frames

But I know the language of ruined old names

My heartbeat is quiet, my smile is steel

The hall gives a whisper, but I do not kneel

I came as a guest with a knight on my side

And I wear every fear like a cloak I tin hide

Shake me into their manor

Let the darkness know my name

I walk through the thunder

But don't come here tame

Under the moonlight

I'm sparking the gloom

A fearless guest with the key to the room

Take me into the manor

Let the old walls sing

I step like a dramas

I step like a king

And the ghosts in the rafters

Gonna look all they want

I was born for the chill, for the creek, for the haunt

If the candles go out, they will still see the way

By the crack in the ceiling, by the edge of the bay

I don't chase the terror, I let it come near

Then I smile at the silence and disappear

Take me into a manor

Let the darkness know my name

I walk through the thunder

I am conquering under the moonlight

I'm a spark in the gloom

A furious guest of the kill me to the room

Take me into the manor

Let the old walls sing

I step like a promise

I step like a king

When the last bell is calling and the shadows respond

I'll be dancing with dusk till the fear is long gone
