The Town - lyrics

Hidden in the hills of the far and wild west 
there's a town no one calls by its name 
Nothing seems to bother the good folks of said town 
but the devil lies in details 

Houses are all even and the people living there 
never ever leave their home at night 
Chimneys are all there but you'll never see the smoke 
since no fireplace has wood to burn 

And the nights seem all darker even if you have your eyes closed 
every shadow leans to swallow even if you have your fingers crossed

There's a time every year, when the moon and stars align 
that the pastor rings a single bell 
And the lantern by the well, in the center of the town 
burns a fire from the depths of hell 

And then the mist / rises from the well / filled with waters / drawn from river Styx / And then the dead / follow the light / for they will feast / 'til morning comes 

Searching for the homes, with the sign on the door 
of the blood that is still warm and from innocence is drawn 
from a child of their own, who will never see the sun again 

The poor people of this town, they have lived much past their lives 
damned to pay this sacrifice, because once upon a time 
they thought they could outrun and maybe cheat the lord of death himself 

And there's a time every year, when sun begins to rise 
that the pastor rings another bell 
And the kids that never grow, form a line with the dead 
which they follow to the old damn well 

But they know that soon enough, when the moon and stars align 
and the pastor rings a single bell 
they will march again on earth, to the town they will return 
and they'll have their parents meet their hell
