Turn The Lamp Down Low - The Tea Party

turn the lamp down low

shelter me turn the lamp down low

rising up to see

please don’t go do you feel a flame that’s burning

as the candle dies

do you see the spirits stirring

as you close your eyes

do you sense the slow advancement

as the twilight thins

do you see the serpent dancing

as it sheds its skin

turn the lamp down low

please don’t go does the sun renounce it’s kingdom

as the shadows fall

does a fool rejoice in wisdom

when the raven calls

do you embrace the dancing clayman

as he tears your flesh

do you hear the souls screaming

in the serpents mesh

turn the lamp down low

please don’t go do you need the consolation

of a dead man’s hand

as the tears of desolation

flood a dead man’s land

do you seek your souls redemption

under fervent skies

don’t you see your own reflection

in the serpent’s eye
