In a room, there lays a chest

And in this chest a soul is at rest

A wanderer that moves with the wind

Came to this house, hearing about a box of sin

He saw it was locked and there was no key

He almost gave up, was about to leave

But then there was a locket

In the pocket of a jacket

In the locket was a paper with a phrase

It told him to repeat it with great praise

So he did, it easily rolled off his tongue

The latch unlocked, open the lid flung

A gray mist began to speak

Told him horrible secrets he had to keep

The secrets were all he could think

It bled through like paper and ink

He sat in the room and withered away

As the secrets took over night and day
