Turn the lamp down low

turn the lamp down low shelter me turn the lamp down low rising up to see please don't go do you feel a flame that's burning as the candle dies do you see the spirits stirring as you close your eyes do you sense the slow advancement as the twilight thins do you see the serpent dancing as it sheds its skin turn the lamp down low please don't go does the sun renounce it's kingdom as the shadows fall does a fool rejoice in wisdom when the raven calls do you embrace the dancing clayman as he tears your flesh do you hear the souls screaming in the serpents mesh turn the lamp down low please don't go do you need the consolation of a dead man's hand as the tears of desolation flood a dead man's land do you seek your souls redemption under fervent skies don't you see your own reflection in the serpent's eye
