Cellar Door Lyrics

I gladly heed the invitation

Slowly stepping down the stairs

Down below, I feel a peace of a new kind

That's how it makes its presence known

The nameless, shapeless beast is silent

Of its destructive power I'm well aware

Yet it is tired, tame and hopeful, wounds laid bare

For me to witness and to care

Offering its pain in total stillness

Long ago cried all its tears

My long lost friend I've been tormenting

In my cellar through the years

The moment lasts, no word is spoken

Eyes are locked and our intentions understood

As I drop my inward weaponry

And he undoes the spells of vengeance and control

A fire erupts, on which we throw

The cellar door

We stand in silence

Questions fluttering around

Let them be a while longer

As we bond

And we stand by the fire

We just stand there to belong

Offering its pain in total stillness

Long ago cried all its tears

My long lost friend I've been tormenting

In my cellar through the years

Thankful for your offering of cease-fire

I'll bring you out into the sun and in the rain

But there's no rush and do not worry

For all the fuel here that needs burning

Stood by the fire we'll remain
