The Legendary Pink Dots - Hallway lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Hallway lyrics]
Here in this passage with the mist up to
My knees - a frightened
Savage pounding panels
I beat on every door I see
But I get no answer
Yet I know I'm not alone cos I hear
Laughter and I know it's all for me
And I know there's no returning because
The gods must be appeased
And, of the millions, they nominated me
And I'll walk 'til they forget as we'd forget
I'm all theirs to disrepect and I plea guilty
Call it 'murder by exclusion'
Call it criminal neglect
Just how many false confessions
Will it take me? Must I climb the mountain?
Must I cry against a wall?
Am I doomed to stay marooned
Here in this hall
Shipwrecked in this gaping hole in time
In this lost museum that's
Forever closed inside
A place where nothing dies, it only crumbles
The statues turn their backs and just
Collapse in piles of ashes
Fragments, remnants, ruins, trash
They torched this temple years
Ago but they left
The ghosts to moan on glowing coals
In a hall that leads to a hall
That leads to a hall that leads to a hall
My knees - a frightened
Savage pounding panels
I beat on every door I see
But I get no answer
Yet I know I'm not alone cos I hear
Laughter and I know it's all for me
And I know there's no returning because
The gods must be appeased
And, of the millions, they nominated me
And I'll walk 'til they forget as we'd forget
I'm all theirs to disrepect and I plea guilty
Call it 'murder by exclusion'
Call it criminal neglect
Just how many false confessions
Will it take me? Must I climb the mountain?
Must I cry against a wall?
Am I doomed to stay marooned
Here in this hall
Shipwrecked in this gaping hole in time
In this lost museum that's
Forever closed inside
A place where nothing dies, it only crumbles
The statues turn their backs and just
Collapse in piles of ashes
Fragments, remnants, ruins, trash
They torched this temple years
Ago but they left
The ghosts to moan on glowing coals
In a hall that leads to a hall
That leads to a hall that leads to a hall
