Abney Park - Under the Floor, Over the Wall lyrics

Two small girls, under the floor
Under the weather
Under the shadow of a darkened
Behind closed doors, living in secret
Living in fear
Nearly forgotten as they hid down there

Families sick
Families dying and they're starving
And they're cold since the day they first hid
They had no friends, they had no love
And they dreamed that one day they
Could break from this tomb

Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half
Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half

And so they left, broke through the bonds
Broke through the floor
And ran to the rooftops were they
Felt wind on their faces
Looked through the darkness and
They saw past the
Fog to the edge of the wall

Then a shadow fell, something above
Something that hunted
So they ran and they ran in the
Night and they hid in the ground
But the creature came home
Deep in their home found mother dying
And the girls couldn't hide

Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half

Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half

So they ran to the wall
Looked out in the blackness
And saw only stars wherever they looked
Brought with them a kite they
Stole from the toy shop
Held onto the string
As they held onto it tight

And they beast came again
It came from behind them
So the girls closed their eyes
Held their breath and jumped

And they flew far into the blue
And they flew over grassy fields and trees
And they flew far into the blue
And they flew over grassy fields and trees
Where they lived forever more!
