Murder by Death - Turn the Lamp Down Low lyrics

Turn the lamp down low shelter me
Turn the lamp down low rising up to see
Turn the lamp down low
Baby, please, don't go
Turn the lamp down low

Do you feel a flame that's burning
As the candle dies?
Do you see the spirit's 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 it's skin?
Turn the lamp down low
Turn the lamp down low please

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 a-screaming
In the serpent's mesh?

Turn the lamp down low please don't go
Turn the lamp down low
Baby, 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 soul's redemption
Under fervent skies?
Don't you see your own reflection
In the serpent's eyes?
Turn the lamp down low
Baby, please, don't go
Turn the lamp down low
