Shadows of the Belfry

[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
