Lyrics
[Verse 1] Left At the fork
Past the hanging oak
The gravel road is thin
Watch for the white stones
The map is lying
Deep
In the mud
[Verse 2] Black brambles bite my boots
The radiator is hissing
Steam
Screaming
Like a dying bird
I see a flicker
Yellow
Sickly yellow
Behind the iron gates
Shadows stretching like fingers
Cold
Colder than the grave
[Chorus] Don't look back now
There is no road behind us
Just the manor
The master is waiting
I can hear the clicking
The heavy steel clicking
Waiting for the guest
The final guest
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
The lock is turning
Oh oh oh
The jaws are open
[Verse 3] Chrome handles
Rusted
Salt on the floor
Candles weeping wax
Hard
Heavy
Hollow
Steps on the marble
Silver buttons on a red coat
He is smiling
Broadly
Too broadly for a man
The scent of copper
Sharp
Heavy and wet
[Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Run if you can
But the forest is gone
Stay if you must
But your soul is gone
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
[Chorus] Don't look back now
There is no road behind us
Just the manor
The master is waiting
I can hear the clicking
The heavy steel clicking
Waiting for the guest
The final guest
[Outro] Step inside
Pull the heavy door
The latch is down
Forever
The latch is down
Goodbye
[Verse 4] The candles bow their heads
The portraits turn away
The chandelier is swinging
Though no one crossed the floor
He gestures with a glove
White as a winter moon
"Come in, come in
You're just in time
For supper"
[Pre-Chorus] The plates are set
The chairs are pulled
The knives are sharpened
For you
[Chorus] Don't look back now
The door has shut behind us
Closer now
The master's smile is wider
I can hear the clicking
The heavy steel clicking
Faster now
The final guest is seated
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
The table's laid
Oh oh oh
The bell is tolling
[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Don't look back now
There is no door behind us
Only the master
The keeper of the keys
I can hear the clicking
The heavy steel clicking
He is singing
A song for the guest
The final guest
