[Verse] Crows circle the spire Black wings and fire Stone whispers a name Long buried in shame What lies beneath In the crypt of grief Dust on my hands No answers to keep
[Chorus] Shadows of the belfry They call to me Voices in the dark Where I cannot see Every chime A toll for time Slipping free Shadows of the belfry They're haunting me
[Verse 2] Lantern sways low Casting ghosts in the snow Steps creak and moan In halls I’ve outgrown A mirror’s glare But no one is there A hollowed prayer Dissolves in the air
[Prechorus] What is this silence What does it want A specter’s hymn Or a cruel taunt
[Chorus] Shadows of the belfry They call to me Voices in the dark Where I cannot see Every chime A toll for time Slipping free Shadows of the belfry They're haunting me
[Bridge] Oh The wolves howl The night bleeds red Oh The wind wails For the words unsaid A tapestry torn The thread unwinds And leaves me lost In the halls of time
