lyrics

On these shattered window frames
Only splattered blood remains
Every month or so, another body found
The graveyard's running out of empty ground

Chorus:
This empty house isn't empty after all
Late at night you can hear things in the walls
Your shallow grave isn't deep enough at all
To keep your ghost under ground
Keep your ghost under ground

She is digging a hole into his chest
Searching for any clue that can set his soul to rest
His heart has popped, his blood is mud
Just like all the others, he's a mystery to her

Chorus:

Nobody really knows how many have died
But the legend of this house has been spread far and wide
Now I've got the address, won't you wish me well
I'm off to burn this house back to Hell

Chorus:
This empty house isn't empty after all
Shrieks in the night as fire licks the walls
Your shallow grave might be deep enough after all
To keep your ghost under ground
Keep your ghost under ground

Even though I've heard the story behind the music, there's always been something just a bit haunting and sad about this song. It's been one of my favorites since the first time I heard it. fenrirchick
