Empty Hallways

Ghosts flaunt and flutter
Terror reigns supreme
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of fiends
Light trails and pursues
Darkness bears no retreat
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of deceit
Vessels amble and attend
Desolation’s tune is complete
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of delete
Dusk broadens and swells
Time taken for a thief  
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of grief
Openings expose and reveal
Memories’ tears run dry 
Come live in our dwelling
Join the house of goodbye
