That is locked and frozen
Something's been there
For at least three thousand years
There is a room
That is locked and haunted
Something's been inside
Trying to survive
I've seen traps
Rusting in the street
I've found lions in my back
Prowling the rough streets
I've seen ghosts
Rising from the streets
And there's still so much
That I don't know
I've seen things
That I dare not explain
But I'll tell you a fact
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind
And it's been in place
Since nineteen seventy-nine
You can't hear me
Since there's nothing below
The cold and melting stone
But I know now
There's so much more
Than you can ever see
So much more
Than you can readily believe
Follow me
To the open field tonight
Follow me
To the carnival invite
Sing with me
In the serpentine river
That runs beneath my skin
I've seen things
That I dare not explain
But I'll tell you a fact
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind
And it's been in place
Since nineteen seventy-nine
Follow me
To the cold safe mine
Follow me
Far within our time
Drown me
In your new glory
Part of hope
Back in seventy-nine
I've seen things
That I dare not explain
But I'll tell you a fact
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind
And it's been in place
Since nineteen seventy-nine
Since nineteen seventy-nine
Since nineteen seventy-nine
