i hid them under the floor; for they being here made me sore
G
and on that day i felt kinda hazy
Am F Am
now they still gotta be there , cos they’re not going anywhere
G
with severed limbs – or call me crazy?
F G
but there are voices in the darkness
F G
in my house every time i close my eyes
Am F C G
in the dead of night i hear ’em sigh the children of the night are calling
Am F C G Am G F
hear Em cry they still defy endlessly i feel like falling now they’re all
E Am F – C – G
my children of the night
Am – F – C – E
Am F Am
these skulls are so small; here are seven of them in all
G
i swear to god , now they’re deadly silence
F G
but still there voices in the darkness ,
F G
getting louder all the time
Am F C G
in the dead of night i hear ’em sigh the children of the night are calling
Am F C G Am G F
hear Em cry they still defy endlessly i feel like falling now they’re all
E
my children of the . . .
F Am
now little feet tap at the end of my bed
remorse i seize
F E
i feel there’s someone leaning over my head
7 breaths , they freeze!
