[Intro] [Single weeping violin note] [Soft sound of a distant wind chime] [Faint, shaky breathing] [Verse 1] [Very soft, trembling female vocals] The flowers withered... the sun went pale... (sobbing) We’re just a ghost story... a broken tale... Sleep now, my darling... don’t make a sound... The monsters are walking... on hollow ground. [Chorus] [High-pitched, ethereal haunting vocals] Keep on walking... through the gray... Watching the world... just fade away... (crying) No sanctuary... no light inside... Just the cold echo... where we hide. [Bridge] [Instrumental: Slow, sad cello melody] [Sound of a soft, muffled sob] [Vocalizing: "Oooooh... aaaaaah..." in a ghostly tone] [Verse 2] [Desperate, shaky whisper] I see their shadows... behind the door... We aren't the people... we were before... (Sshhh...) Close your eyes... just one last time... [Outro] [Music fades into a long, low drone] Don’t open... (whispered sob) Dead inside... [Final breathy exhale] [Silence]
