there`s a sound that draws her on
as she climbs the twisted stair
echoing with laughter
she knows that someone`s there
and she hasn`t seen them in a long time
but the shadows know her name
and they`re calling for her again
she draws aside the curtains
and sees what they have done
the candles all still burning
and the circle on the floor
the silence breathes a whispered word
the dagger shines so bright
burning in the corner
as she dances through the night
and she hasn`t been here in a long time
but the shadows play her game
and they`re laughing with her again
she`s come home
she feels a hand caress her hair
feels the cold along her spine
playing to her fancies
as she pours a cup of wine
she sits and stares at nothing
as the dawn burns through the room
scattering the shadows
as it kills the friendly gloom
and she hasn`t been here in a long time
but the shadows play her game
and they`re laughing with her again
she`s come home
