Black Lodge

Dale, your hands are trembling, Your coffee's getting cold. You've walked the halls of memory, But the story's never told. The owl flies without a sound, The ring is on the floor— And Laura whispers through the static, "Who are you looking for?" Leland danced with fire, He knew the price of sin. His daughter wore a golden smile, He let the devil in. The angel in the ceiling fan, The blood upon the lace— He loved her till he killed her, Then he washed her from his face. In the Black Lodge, time bends backward, In the Black Lodge, nothing's true. The doppelgänger wears your face, And laughs at everything you knew. Black Lodge lullaby, Sing the children to the fire. Black Lodge lullaby, Every dream becomes a liar. Laura's ghost is in the trees, Bob is scratching at the door— And Cooper's trapped in yesterday, Forever wanting more. The giant spoke in riddles, The dwarf reversed his speech. The waitress poured the poison, Just beyond the reach. Audrey danced in gasoline, Her cherry stem a noose— She burned the world to feel alive, And found she had no use. The Log Lady saw the future, She held it in her hands. She knew the end was coming, But she couldn't understand. The fire walks with madness, The woods are full of screams— And everyone is Laura, Trapped inside a dream. There is no time, there is no place, There is no face behind the face. The curtains part, the room is red, And everyone is finally dead. But dead is not the end, my friend— It's where the nightmare starts again. Black Lodge lullaby, Sing the children to the fire. Black Lodge lullaby, Every dream becomes a liar. Laura's ghost is in the trees, Bob is scratching at the door— And Cooper's trapped in yesterday, Forever wanting more. Fire... walk with me... Fire... walk with me...
