Track Insight / Lyrics
You flag me down on Cobblestone Lane
Rain taps the roof like a ghost's refrain
Your mask is lace, your cloak is deep
Secrets in the promises you keep
The hall awaits at witching hour
Where phantoms sway in velvet power
Midnight meter, ticking slow
Through the arches, watch you go
Masks of porcelain, masks of bone
You're never truly alone
Halloween keeps what the night has shown
The meter clicks a steady rhyme
Counting seconds, stealing time
Your gloves are leather, cold and white
Gripping dreams from Halloween night
The hall awaits at witching hour
Where phantoms sway in velvet power
Midnight meter, ticking slow
Through the arches, watch you go
Masks of porcelain, masks of bone
You're never truly alone
Halloween keeps what the night has shown
I've driven priests and I've driven thieves
On All Hallows' Eve, the city believes
The vintage hall breathes candle smoke
While floorboards bend 'neath velvet cloak
Midnight meter, ticking slow
Through the arches, watch you go
Masks of porcelain, masks of bone
You're never truly alone
Halloween keeps what the night has shown
Your reflection fractures in my mirror
A thousand faces, drawing nearer
The meter spins, the fare grows steep
Promises made, promises you keep
Midnight meter, ticking slow
Through the arches, watch you go
Masks of porcelain, masks of bone
You're never truly alone
Halloween keeps what the night has shown
Dawn breaks pale on spires of stone
But the hall still claims its own
You step out slow, the spell undone
Another fare, another run
Midnight meter, ticking slow
Through the arches, watch you go
Masks of porcelain, masks of bone
You're never truly alone
Halloween keeps what the night has shown
The meter stops... but the memory's grown
Meter resets. Night goes home.
Until next Halloween.
