i wonder if he'll come tonight
december tricks eclipse the light
now the new moon rolls around the sun
it's kicking up dust as i'm sounding the gun
come open your eyes and die for your doubt
(thorn's star shines like a lamp in the sky
(and i wonder if... i wonder if he'll come tonight)
(dead bells chime as they're calling his ghost)
(his star descends from its post in the night)
(...and trembles down)
not cast in death or measured in worth
now lost in grief as he walks this earth
with wings pinned down, he draws out her blood
bleeding his shadow from a new kind of dove
welcome this fold, now passing the pale
counting off souls as we tip the scale
hark, this sabbath wine is making me sick
divide my wish with my back to the edge
i can thread this fate for the bride of the quick
if you hide the way from the bride of the dead
i wonder if he'll come tonight
i lost this stitch
november unwinds/the coldest december
to come right back/rhymes of the winter
november unwinds/the coldest december
close your eyes/you'll never remember
november unwinds/the coldest december)
it's offered tonight
november unwinds/the coldest december
if you ask just right/the bride of forever
november unwinds/the coldest december
close your eyes/you'll never remember
it's offered tonight
the backward tracks of the ivory keys
are poisoned notes for the harmony
pluck these strings if they're sounding out
and set these hands now to bury me
the martyrs of the world run and hide away/etc
and every time he comes he's gonna set you straight/etc
go away/go away/go away
