[Intro] One for the living... One for the lost... And one... That should never come. [Verse 1] In a house beyond the garden Where the roses never bloom There's a clock without a shadow In a cold and empty room Every night it starts its counting Every night the hands align But the old ones left a warning Never hear the thirteenth chime [Pre-Chorus] The candles bend The windows cry The moon stands still Against the sky Thirteen... [Chorus] The thirteenth chime The thirteenth chime The dead come dancing Out of time The stars fall back The clocks unwind And no one leaves The thirteenth chime [Verse 2] Now the dust returns to portraits And the cracks begin to mend Broken mirrors gather faces Of the people at their end Footsteps travel up the staircase Though the dancers all descend Every door reveals a yesterday That never had an end [Pre-Chorus] The candles rise From pools of wax The dead look up The years turn back [Chorus] The thirteenth chime The thirteenth chime The dead come dancing Out of time The stars fall back The clocks unwind And no one leaves The thirteenth chime [Bridge] Do you remember... The day you died? I remember the garden... I remember the rain... I remember a clock... And somebody calling my name... Look at your hands. I have no shadow... [Final Chorus] The thirteenth chime The thirteenth chime I hear my own voice Lost in time The stars fall back The clocks unwind I was never outside The thirteenth chime The thirteenth chime... The thirteenth chime... [Outro] One for the living... One for the lost... And one for you. ©2026 Kar Stoertebecker ✧✦═══⊰ - ⊱═══ ✦✧✦ ✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧✦ ✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧ 🎶 We've built a German-speaking community for Suno artists! 🎶 We're the *StorytellerZ* – and you can find us on Discord: 👉 https://discord.gg/storytellerz ✧✦═══⊰ - ⊱═══ ✦✧✦ ✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧✦ ✧✦ ═══⊰ - ⊱═══✦✧
