[6/8]
|| Em | C | Am | B ||
Em | C |
Here I sit, a vampire, at my piano.
Am | B
The flames burn glaringly higher.
| Em | C
And the eyes that stare through the darkness,
| Am | B
though they have no form, there's no need for alarm.
[Chorus]
| Em | Em
So burn.
| C | Am | B | Em |
So burn, burn the flames, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames, never to expire.
Em | C |
Here I sit, a skeleton, at my organ.
Am | B
The candles in my candelabra burn hellishly, hellish hell.
| Em | C
And the laughter unending echoes through the haunted house --
| Am | B
a little Christmas spirit, ghostly, haunting, deadly spirit --
every creature is stirring, even the mouse.
[Chorus]
| Em | Em
So burn.
| C | Am | B | Em |
So burn, burn the flames, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames, never to expire.
[Solo]
Em | C |
Here I sit, myself, at my instruments.
Am | B
Here they sit at their instruments,
| Em | C
and the music fills and fills, terrifies, horrifies, forever scares.
| Am | B
"The children of the night, what music we make!"
[Chorus]
| Em | Em
So burn.
| C | Am | B | Em |
So burn, burn the flames, higher, and higher
So burn, burn the flames, never to expire.
[Solo 2 / Outro]
