Hallway by The Legendary Pink Dots Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2015

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...
