Moonlit Manor Whisper

In the hush of the midnight manor

Candles tremble along the wall

Shadows slip through the gilded corridor

Listening where the old stones call

Celeste glimmers like a broken star

Harpsichord ticks in a velvet haze

Blue strings crawl from a distant hall

As the dark leans into the maze

Behind the window

Something moves

Soft as a breath, cold as a sigh

Every door keeps a silent truth

Every step hides a knowing eye

Lightning faint from the tower above

Percussion falls like a careful rain

The manor keeps what the night has touched

And never tells it again

Behind the windows

Soft as a breath

Cold as a sigh

Every door keeps a silent truth

Every stare hides a knowing eye

So walk slowly

Through the candlelit dark

Where secrets sleep

And the shadows roam

The midnight manor remembers your name

And whispers it after you're gone
