[Verse 1] The candles gutter low and cast a sickly glow Across the tables where the dust has settled slow The shadows dance upon the damp and rotting wood At midnight something wakes that never understood A clinging fear comes breathing down the empty hall The portraits turn their eyes and watch the plaster fall Do you hear the clatter of bones beneath the floor The patter of the footsteps coming back for more [Chorus] It's our own merry, somber gloom A banquet in a frozen room Hey, look how this ball grows cold A story that was never told Whoever entered alive is lost forever We dance together, we dance together [Verse 2] The chandelier is swinging though there is no wind The wine has turned to dust for every guest who sinned The mirrors hold a face that no one recognizes And every smile is stitched with thread that paralyzes The music plays a waltz that no one ever wrote The violin is strung with something like a throat And if you listen close beneath the hollow sound You'll hear the buried hearts that never can be found [Bridge] The doors have disappeared behind the wallpaper's grin The clock has stopped at midnight and will not begin We raise a toast to nothing and we drink it down The coldest celebration in the hollowed town And when the morning finds us we will still be here Still dancing with our shadows and our frozen fear [Chorus] It's our own merry, somber gloom A banquet in a frozen room Hey, look how this ball grows cold A story that was never told Whoever entered alive is lost forever We dance together, we dance together It's our own merry, somber gloom A banquet in a frozen room Hey, look how this ball grows cold A story that was never told Whoever entered alive is lost forever We dance together, we dance together [Outro] The shadows dance upon the damp and rotting wood At midnight something wakes that never understood Hey, look how this ball grows cold Whoever entered alive is lost forever
