Danse Macabre Lyrics - The New York Room

the bell tolls the tears of midnight's gloom 

and opens the gates to twilight's tomb 

the black sky above 

and the darkness inside me 

consoles me, so soothing 

consumes me, so slowly 

no light will shine 

no shadows thrown 

no mask will hide 

no mercy shown 

the sky tells the tale of endless doom 

and opens the doorway unto the room 

where our eyes our blind 

to the portal opening 

can't you see, me bleeding 

misery, sustains me 

no light will shine 

no shadows thrown 

no mask will hide 

no mercy shown 

the clock strikes the hour when darkness looms 

and echoes the rise of shepherd moons 

the gale flies over 

and the raven is watching 

he has seen me weeping 

and holds me in his wings 

the sky it grows darker still 

the white mists rise over the hill 

the forces stir, the storm will break 

shattering through the night to wake 

of wind and sea 

of sand and stone 

never to be 

no mercy shown 

so cold and gray 

so cold and gray
