Lyrics

Is someone there?
 Can you hear me?
 ♪
 It's always been so silent
 I'm all alone at night
 Standing by my window
 As the hours pass me by
 Sometimes I think someone's here
 I see him in the glass
 And if he's real, then maybe...
 Maybe I have a friend at last
 ♪
 This room is sanctuary
 This house is all I know
 Locked inside for safety
 I've never dared to go
 No one else to play with
 Mother is my only friend
 She warns me of the outside
 The dangers I could never comprehend
 But suddenly he's there
 A voice to speak my name
 He comes and then he's gone
 It's our secret game
 And now he shows me places
 I've never seen before
 The rooms she's locked and hidden
 An unknown name on a forbidden door
 What are you doing down here?
 Haven't I told you not to go sneaking around
 Who are you talking to?
 You'll be sorry if you make another sound
 Take my hand, Elijah
 And stay the night with me
 We'll walk these halls together
 There's so much more to see
 ♪
 In this room she kept from me
 I've found another face
 Just like mine but different
 I see, I took her place
 Memories begin to stir
 Is this where I belong?
 A shadow growing in my mind
 Fed by Elijah's song
 Why are you down here?
 Haven't I told you to only
 Why can't you just behave yourself?
 Why can't you do as I say?
 Speak to me, Elijah
 Tell me all the things you've seen
 Tell me what you've seen
 All these images that haunt me
 Tell me what do they all mean
 ♪
 The life you think you know
 Is just a cruel game
 ♪
 They took you from your home
 And robbed you of your name
 ♪
 You've got to leave this place
 That's why I've come for you
 ♪
 They killed your family
 And soon they'll kill you too
 My brother's voice brought tears to my eyes
 I understood all the lies
 And I knew what must be done
 I made my plan
 I'd have her blood on my hands
 ♪
 I'm creeping down the hall
 I've got the knife in my hand
 Elijah leads me on as I make my stand
 Now at the side of the bed
 I pray and drive the knife in
 But mother screams in rage
 As the chase begins
 ♪
 She hunts me in the night
 I see the house catch flame
 And rising from their graves
 More girls who lost their names
 Now, now is the time
 Now you will pay
 You took my brother, my family away
 This is my reckoning day
 What do you have to say?
 How dare you accuse me? (because you killed us)
 Can't you see how much I loved you
 You should have been our daughters
 What more could we do?
 The spirits dragged her down into the flames
 Where she lies still to this day (she lies still to this day)
 Where she lies still to this day
 And I left that fire burning
 I felt the fear fade away
 I remember Elijah
 My brother from a life long gone
 Take my hand, Elijah
 We'll fly away (we'll fly away)
 We'll fly away (we'll fly away)
 We'll fly away into the dawn
