[Intro - Whispered female voice] Come inside... We've been waiting... [Verse 1 - Deep, restrained male vocal] At the end of the road, Where the dead trees grow, Stands a house that the daylight Refuses to know. There's a light in the window, Though nobody's home, And a voice from the hallway Says you're not alone. [Pre-Chorus - Whispering builds] Every floorboard remembers, Every shadow has eyes. Every room holds a secret, Every mirror tells lies. [Chorus - Haunting orchestral swell] THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS KNOWS YOUR NAME! It calls from the darkness, Again and again! THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS WON'T LET GO! Of the ones who enter, Of the souls below! And somewhere upstairs, Behind a locked door... Someone is counting... ONE MORE... [Verse 2] There's a portrait of a woman With her face turned away, And a grandfather clock That stopped yesterday. In the room at the top, There's a bed neatly made, And the shape of a child In the dust where you prayed. You can hear someone singing From beneath the old stairs. But the moment you listen, The singing stops there. [Bridge - Almost complete silence] Don't turn around. Don't look behind. That wasn't your shadow... And those footsteps aren't mine. [Final Chorus - Full orchestra and choir] THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS KNOWS YOUR NAME! A THOUSAND LOST VOICES ARE CALLING AGAIN! THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS WON'T LET GO! IT'S TAKING YOU DOWN WHERE THE LOST CHILDREN GO! [Outro - Distant female whisper] Thank you for coming... We've been so lonely. [A door slowly closes] Now... Stay.
