lyrics

I walk this town
a skeleton now
since the wind took off with my skin

the consequence
of my failed attempt
to fool with the magic of sin

I left my heart at the boulder
where the ritual failed to take place
now Im all bones and sorrow
as I wander these streets
with no need to eat
and no flesh to keep me warm

there was leaves everywhere
with ice in the air
that stung my lungs when I breathed

I’d researched the herbs
the bat blood, the worms
to conjure the fabled disease

a potion of love
that will not give up
as long as my heart has a beat

I should have known
these spells books are prone
to mischief and deceit

I left my heart at the boulder
where the ritual failed to take place
now Im all bones and sorrow
as I wander these streets
my soul incomplete
and no flesh to keep me warm

the moon had arised
low in the sky
it was red, in the shape of a scythe

the book said i should
be deep in the woods
at a stone that was three times my size

it was covered in moss
With symbols across
a bowl carved at its base

poured the blood from the rat
tossed the herbs in with that
and grinded the worms to a paste

with my hands to my chest yes
i did my best
to recite the words real profound

then the wind gave a howl
I was blown all around
but my bones stayed upright on the ground

I left my heart at the boulder
where the ritual failed to take place
now Im all bones and sorrow
as I wander these streets
with no need to eat
my soul incomplete
and no flesh to keep me warm
