[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You're circling 'round us like a shadow on the plain,
A Hour Beast calling out a name.
You're thumbing through your ledger, worn and thin,
With them bony hands again.
Who from among us will you choose?
Who's got the most to lose?
To take away with you, so deep and far,
Beneath a cold and unknown star.

[Chorus]
You ain't welcome at this door.
We don't wanna know you more.
And are they right to turn you 'way?
Oh, are they right to turn you 'way?
You won't get no bread here, friend,
No water 'till the end.
'Cause you're the conductor on a train,
And we don't know where goes the rail.

[Verse 2]
But if you gather up your nerve and cross the line,
You step inside this house of mine...
Know this: a guest like you brings no good cheer,
Just a freezing, lonesome fear.
No one's gonna offer you a chair,
Or show you that they care.
We were lookin' the other way, we missed your tread,
Now we can't even bolt the door or turn the key—it's in your head.

[Chorus]
You ain't welcome at this door.
We don't wanna know you more.
And are we right to turn you 'way?
Lord, are we right to turn you 'way?
Or... maybe set a place for you, a meal before the night,
Wake you with the morning light?
Maybe you're the guide we need, to lead us through the gloom,
To a promised, quiet room.

[Outro]
Who are you?..
Who are you?..
Who... are you?

Death.
