A small country chapel
that comes out at night
a garden of light
a house by its side
where impossible angles
of wood make the halls
the windows and walls
and shadows that crawl

I step through the door find my brothers within
silent and grim
they usher me in

I'm led to the room where our brother resides
suspended inside
by a rope drawn tight

left in his eyes
a fear from his life
and I wonder why

oh, outside the home
a shadow is shown
and I think it sees me

oh no
death aglow
black as night
cold as bone
I know
why you die alone
take your life
taint your soul

Then without thinking
a gun's in my hand
pointed at him
the trigger pulled in

one well-placed shot to his chest takes him down
he's dead on the ground
so I turn around

back through the house
find them all there
they've got to see this

but oh, where did he go
they all let me know
that he'll come again

oh no
death aglow
black as night
cold as bone
I know
why you die alone
take your life
taint your soul
oh no
look out below
here I come like a stone
oh no death aglow
black as night
cold as bone.
