Kwaidan Songtext
von Ramasutra

As the night is getting darker and the crow flies overhead
Silent footsteps run behind me no more hallowed ground ahead
Close your shutters lock the gate ward off the evil eye
Hide under the covers when the half moon cuts the sky

Feel a pinprick in my belly and the fear begins to spread
Pinch of salt over my shoulder but my shadow has no head
Sound of my heart pounding makes my prayers go unheard
Churchbells in the distance but no sermon will be served

I see the glow
From far away
It haunts me down
Straight to my grave


Through the flicker of my candles I can see my mirrors crack
Try to gaze on my reflection but there′s no-one looking back
Garlic on my window silver cross upon the door
Incense in the hallway holy water on the floor

I see the glow
From far away
It haunts me down
Straight to my grave

There are three knocks on my front door and a chill runs down my spine
Muffled voices call a name and I could swear that it was mine
Ravens croak upon my roof a prophecy of doom
All my walls are closing in my home is now my tomb

I see the glow
From far away
It haunts me down
Straight to my grave
