  • You come through the door like a bag of rocks
    Wounded all the time
    And I'm inside the room with the TV on
    Mute
    Screaming, Elijah, Elijah don't you come
    Oh god, don't you come

    I steal out the window like I'm using the door
    Whispering willows outside
    Turn into statues of you, fangs exposed, breathing fire
    Elijah, don't you come
    Oh god, don't you come

    Locate the coffin and procure the ring
    I'll distract Gabriel
    It's your destiny after all
    Just go
    And don't you ever look back
    Kiss me again
    And don't you listen to the voices in the past
    They lied
    They lied

    When you see the lights, don't you dare go in
    Find your way back to the house
    And the wind upon gate
    When the gate swing back and forth
    That's the sign
    And we are never coming back
    Once the signal's been fired

    When you're in the room I am under the bed
    I am inside your soul
    I cover your mouth
    Hands just as ice
    Screaming Elijah
    Oh Elijah, come down
    Come and take your award

    Locate the coffin and procure the ring
    I'll distract Gabriel
    It's your destiny after all
    Just go
    And don't you never look back
    Kiss me again
    And don't you listen to the voices in the past
    They lied
    Run away from the light
    Run away from the light
    Little ones

  • Karen from Prince George, BcI think Ryan is brilliant, his talent amazes me and his songs make me shiver. I'm happy to have 9 of his albums so far and I love pretty much all of it. Hope he keeps them coming!
