lyrics

He cast his shadow down down from the mountain
To reclaim all things in darkness once and for all
In the valley below the people are dancing
But what they don’t know is the avalanche grows ever closer

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Hand in hand they go and dip their cups in the fountain
Wait for someone to pronounce them safe when the lights go out
Through the trees a rustling of leaves as he beckons
But don’t ever stop to listen for his wicked whisper on the wind

Can he see inside our bedrooms
Can he see inside our hearts
I heard a rumor that you can do
Anything you put your crooked hands to

He stretched his fingers out to search every crevice
seeking to corner and trap us and we all got caught
Blame him for love for shame for inclement weather
All the things that keep us together huddled round the fire in the dark

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

On the peak his crown is shines like a diamond
Black clouds laced with blue lightning to send the shivers up your spine
We are all ships in the waves so close to capsizing
Praying for dry land but there’s only the madman upon his mount

Can he see inside our bedrooms
Can he see inside our hearts
I heard a rumor that you can do
Anything you put your crooked hands to
