Haunted By You

This house is abandoned
I live here alone
The rain rots the wood
Whilst the stench eats the stone
And all the leaves they glow
They'll wait for the winter
Then hide in the snow

The walls have their memories
Their stories to tell
Ghosts walk the hallways
'How could you?' they yell
The birds they scream and crow
And sing of the terrible secrets they know

And if you marry I don't forgive nor forget
Because I dropped the vase and walked straight through the glass
And with these bloody feet stained the carpets and sheets
Of the house that we made, once imagined, now haunted by you

This is my castle
Here is my throne
This is the kingdom
That I rule alone
And all the weeds that grow
They cling to the rafters to take in the show

I'll raise the taxes and I'll cut the wage
Where is my jester, court? Summon my page
The halls and windows glow
With light from the candles we lit years ago

If you marry I don't forgive nor forget
Because I dropped the vase and walked straight through the glass
And with these bloody feet stained the carpets and sheets
Of the house that we made, once imagined, now haunted by you

Where is my cavalry?
Where is my maid?
Answer the question
Or no one gets paid
Nobody answers 'cause nobody stayed
What a shame, what a waste
Hail the king

Oh, if you marry I don't forgive nor forget
Because I dropped the vase and walked straight through the glass
And with these bloody feet stained the carpets and sheets
Of the house that we made, once imagined, now haunted by you
