[Intro] "thirteen... thirteen..." I came to the west with gold and grief in hand a widow wrapped in silence from a riflecursed land [Verse 1] They said the dead were calling from every bullet's path so I bought this humble villa and let the madness laugh Nail by nail I raise the walls room by room the night extends no blueprint no tomorrow just the hammer never ends [Pre-Chorus] Thirteen steps to nowhere doors that kiss the stone windows stare at shadows I build so I'm not alone [Chorus] I'm the widow of the Winchester building through the years to confuse the ghosts that hunt me with my endless tears Staircases to the ceiling doors to empty air Sarah's house of sorrow trapped in despair Winchester forever hammer falls again until my breath is silent and the building ends [Verse 2] From eight rooms to a hundred labyrinth of grief skylights in the floorboards thirteen hooks belief Secret halls for spirits that I never see but I feel them in the hammer beating inside me [Pre-Chorus] Thirteen panes glitter in the moonlight's glow every nail a prayer that the dead might go [Chorus] I'm the widow of the Winchester building through the years to confuse the ghosts that hunt me with my endless tears Staircases to the ceiling doors to empty air Sarah's house of sorrow trapped in despair Winchester forever hammer falls again until my breath is silent and the building ends [Bridge] What if the curse was never from the rifles I never held just a heart that broke in silence and a mind that never healed Yet I build I build until the earthquake came and the towers fell again still I rose and built the same [Final Chorus] I'm the widow of the Winchester queen of endless night ghosts in every corner but I hold the light Sarah's house of wonder and of endless pain building till the morning when the hammer wanes [Outro] ...the building... ends...
