Severity

[Intro]
Hold it up, the work is done

[Verse 1]
Long ago and far away
Beauty spoke
But, what did she say?
"Come to me, I have freedom"
"Eternity, but only for thee"

[Chorus]
In between the vacant stares
The fool, he laughed himself out of his chair
The juggler cackled as he pranced
The strings they sang, the puppets danced
In the hall of the damned
The severed hand
So, dance in red, behind the veil
The liar smiled for the impaled
So white the eyes
So white the smile
Dazzling in their denial
In the hall of the damned
The severed hand

[Refrain]
Raise it up, the work is done

[Bridge]
Interlude for the room
For the room
Severity as charity

[Chorus]
Blow your mind out, have a ball
The new year's coming and then the fall
Eat our tails, we all will crawl
Unto the hour, into the hall
To the hall of the damned
The severed hand, it speaks
