Starless are the night of travel
Wear out patience in the lowest
Searching through the stranded shipwrecks
Doubt and danger past
You must drink it dry, drink it dry
And the hawk on his glove?
Pay the dread guard with a kiss
Ready to explore
There stands the deserted castle
That the night may come
Over the abyss
Open the locked door
You have done your part
Bribe the bird then on the branches
Run with terror all before you
Push on to the world's end
Into your false heart
Blow the cobwebs from the mirror
Bribe them to be dumb
For the golden key
Lady weeping at the crossroads
Everlasting cry
Cross the rotten bridge that totters, yeah
Cross the silent empty ballroom
Put your hand behind the wainscot
And regret behind
See yourself at last, see yourself at last
Deep though it may be and bitter
Stare the hot sun out of heaven, yeah
In the twilight with his greyhounds
Dungeons of the sea
Enter, climb the marble staircase
Run until you hear the ocean's
Bleak the winter wind
Find the penknife there and plunge it
