Abney Park Under The Floor, Over The Wall
Two small girls, under the floor, under the weather
Under the shadow of a darkened...
Behind closed doors, living in secret, living in fear
Nearly forgotten as they hid down there
Families sick, families dying and they're starving
And they're cold since the day they first hid
They had no friends, they had no love
And they dreamed that one day they could break from this tomb
Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half
Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half
And so they left, broke through the bonds, broke through the floor
And ran to the rooftops were they felt wind on their faces
Looked through the darkness and they saw past the fog to the edge of the wall
Then a shadow fell, something above, something that hunted
So they ran and they ran in the night and they hid in the ground
But the creature came home, deep in their home
Found mother dying, and the girls couldn't hide
Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half
Hear the cries of the kids above you
Hear the joy you can never have
Feel the pain of your empty coffers
Echoing hole rips your heart in half
So they ran to the wall, looked out in the blackness
And saw only stars wherever they looked
Brought with them a kite they stole from the toy shop
Held onto the string, as they held onto it tight
And they beast came again, it came from behind them
So the girls... closed... their... eyes... held... their... breath... and... jumped
And they flew far into the blue
And they flew over grassy fields and trees
And they flew far into the blue
And they flew over grassy fields and trees
Where they lived forever more!
