The house is colder now The stars are winking out One by one these stones destroy the walls of cities by the shore The best-laid plans of men and rats In the darkness I see traps CHORUS: (In this world of shame) We will not be consumed (In this world of shame) We will not be torn down (In this world of shame) We will not be misled (In this world of shame) We will not fall One by one he leads the little ones away One by one he leads the little crowd astray The best-kept secrets thrive in the darkest corners of the darkest lives The best-laid plans of thieves and rats In the darkness I see traps CHORUS The heart is colder now The lights are dying out One by one the fleets destroy the walls of cities by the shore Through the darkness kings walk past wandering into my traps CHORUS
