He proves by every step he takes, you are nearing your defeat
His cloak is gracefully dancing on the waltz of your deceit
With his shabby hat and cane
A grin that's always hidden, unknown remains his name
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor
But when it's dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight
It's far too late for worrying, the scarecrow's taken flight
Spare my life, I've always been the best man I can be
I fought, I cared for all my children
Please do not ignore my plea, forgive me for my vice
Do my nightmares not suffice?
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor
But when it's dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight
It's far too late for worrying, the scarecrow's taken flight
You know what you've done
Now you need to confess
He'll hear your words
But kill you nonetheless
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor
