Lantern Code

Versuri

[Verse 1] They pass the key by hand Under the gold dead bell Names in the ledger burn Folded in a paper shell Black rings on pale wrists Code in the cut-glass sign You saw the masked men nod When the clock struck nine [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, hush now Don't look twice Three knocks, then the room goes Ice to ice [Chorus] Lantern Code, Lantern Code Tell me who you are Lantern Code, Lantern Code Hidden in the dark (Join the line) Lantern Code, Lantern Code Under every scar Lantern Code, Lantern Code We know what you are [Verse 2] A door in the museum wall A map in the seam of a coat Old velvet over steel A match held under the throat I heard the old chant start From the stairwell below One word took the whole hall Then nobody spoke [Pre-Chorus] Hush now, hush now Don't look twice Three knocks, then the room goes Ice to ice [Chorus] Lantern Code, Lantern Code Tell me who you are Lantern Code, Lantern Code Hidden in the dark (Join the line) Lantern Code, Lantern Code Under every scar Lantern Code, Lantern Code We know what you are [Bridge] If they ask your name Say the candle lied If they ask your oath Keep the knife inside When the walls move slow And the mirrors split One more step, one breath Then you're part of it [Final Chorus] Lantern Code, Lantern Code Tell me who you are Lantern Code, Lantern Code Hidden in the dark (Join the line) Lantern Code, Lantern Code Under every scar Lantern Code, Lantern Code We know what you are
