lyrics

You had to say
in that most ghostly, unnerving way,
like a prophet piercing souls all the moonlit day:
"Come out and play
and look into my eyes red as flame.
It'll make you want to stay; it'll make you want to say,
make you want to pray:

Hey, Ancient Lady, burn down the city
with your eyes, with your fiery eyes of flame."

Who am I now
that I've put on this dark forest shroud?
Can I become like the owl and fly by night away?
Who are you now,
a rat trapped, drunk on their poison? How
will you ever get away? I can see it straight away;
it makes me want to say:

"Hey, Ancient Lady, burn down the city
with your eyes, with your fiery eyes of flame."
