Parlor Guest

Verse 1

Gas

Flicker out

Cold iron on the floor

Shadows stretch across the hall

Heavy

Rustling lace

Silver spoons and empty plates

Footsteps heavy in the attic

Chorus

Kyrie eleison

The spirits stay

The spirits stay

In the parlor they are waiting

The spirits stay

Kyrie eleison

Verse 2

Black

Silk veil

Tapping on the glass

Tapping on the mahogany lid

Pale

Prying hands

Pulling back the heavy drape

Breath like winter on my neck

I saw

I heard

I ran

Hollow eyes beneath the hat

Chorus

Kyrie eleison

The spirits stay

The spirits stay

In the parlor they are waiting

The spirits stay

Kyrie eleison

Bridge

Locked doors won't keep them out

Locked doors won't keep them out

Locked doors won't keep them out

They are here

They are here

They are here

Chorus

Kyrie eleison

The spirits stay

The spirits stay

In the parlor they are waiting

The spirits stay

Kyrie eleison

Outro

Flicker out

Flicker out

Gone
