I know, when I′m gone, the full tragic truth will also die
And therefore their being at last will have been but a lie
If no one is left to remember their sorrowful story
When nobody tells the sad tale, no one's there to be sorry
Imagine a night, stitch in black, while you′re cozy and warm
Imagine the howling of some ineluctable storm
So if you are ready and I've got your outright attention
I'm ready to unveil the story of all former mansion
Where a family lived long ago, but what makes it so weird
Is not that they lived there, but rather that they disappeared
There wasn′t a soul from the great hall to the smallest pantry
The great former manor henceforward forever stood empty
They lived in
A house built on dreams and built of burned bricks
Torted up
Impressed by themselves as they swaggered
Gave a home
To many good friends and to some rascal tricks
Sirens roared
Could it be that they followed and staggered
Did they care
For anyone else except for themselves
So why should
Anyone care for them now
Empty rooms
Not very much left on the old rotten shelves
They ended
It′s true, but you cannot say how
But they all have long since gone
It's a riddle what went wrong
Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here
Nor do we know why they disappeared
Why they all have long since gone
Maybe there
Lived too many monsters under the stairs
We don′t know
If they all were let or were banished
Did they see
Strange eyes in the night that gave them a stare?
Did they flee
Just head over heels as they vanished?
No one knows
If they were driven or if they were
Gusty rooms
No more servants to clear away the maids
Did they cry
Or did they move on without any regrets?
No farewells
No more talks and no boring debates
But they all have long since gone
It's a riddle what went wrong
Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here
Nor do we know why they disappeared
Why they all have long since gone
The only things found were remainsThose
Stairs that was babbling and buzzing
He just didn′t suit, couldn't fit
So he was locked up in the cellar
Displeasing he sat in the pit
Until he passed, poor little fella
But they all have long since gone
It′s a riddle what went wrong
Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here
Nor do we know why they disappeared
Why they all have long since gone
Blooming scars
Or did they run off for a shiver of gold?
No regrets
They're all gone without any trace
Far away
Or are they still prowling around in the cold?
Pictures fade
Can't remember a name or face
But they all have long since gone
It′s a riddle what went wrong
But they all have long since gone
It′s a riddle what went wrong
Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here
Nor do we know why they disappeared
Why they all have long since gone
But they all have long since gone
It's a riddle what went wrong
So what drove them away, no one ever can say
And the only thing we know today
