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
