Noises in the Wall

Like a creeping shadow moving through the room

No one else can see it, I sense impending doom

Plugged into my mind somehow, it haunts me all day long

Like a strange religion, the children marching on

I hear the voices, they're calling me back

Oh God, what could I have done?

Something's left over, I hear the call

Forever I'm living with noises in the wall

When I played with fire I never felt the burn

Now I feel the presence, the devil takes his turn

The darkness held the promise, hiding from the dawn

Like a strange religion, a children's marching song

I hear the voices, they're calling to me

What do they want with me now?

Something's left over, I hear the call

Forever I'm living with noises in the wall

And I still wear the chains

Of sins that still remain

My knees won't bend to pray

Still it's got its hold on me

Playing games with the enemy

Brings to life your darkest dreams

When you know what it really means

It's now too late

The creatures of the night you'll find

Soon to become shadow blind

You won't even realize

You've started to die

A fool's game with no winner

A soul of black forever

First he'll be an angel of light

It starts gnawing at you

Always never leaves you

Now that you have opened up the door

Tried to leave it all behind so many times before

I thought it all was in my past

Still it keeps scratching and scratching at the door

These things won't leave me alone

It's wrapped around me now like a filthy coat

With sleeves that are far far too long

And they know what you fear

It's what's drawing them near

A tormented soul to steal

Something's been left over, and I hear the call

Forever I'll be living with noises in the wall
