"13 Little Dolls" lyrics

"13 Little Dolls"

Darkness ain't a sin
It's the visions in your head
Leave it on the windowsill, it's for them now instead
Do you think they know your heart?
It wouldn't be a big surprise
Because the pendulum will swing
Whenever night arrives
Thirteen dolls are wandering from grandma's hands to mine
And I'll never be alone
I'm cursed and I am blessed
It's all and it is less

You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, but hurts like hell
But to those who live the shaded path
They won't betray their wooden mask

Fight them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls

See I was told a tale
Of witches in a box
Lift the lid and spirits rise
I see them now of course
Now they're here beside the bed
I feel six and twenty eyes
Because for every twist and turn
Those dolls will catch the mystery
Tell them every fear I have and let it set me free
It's the black magic but a friend
We're locked until the bitter end

You would not believe the tales they tell
The good, the bad, but hurts like hell
Not apparent to the naked eye
But with the third, it all takes flight

Fight them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, thirteen)

Fight them, hide them, keep them safe
Those thirteen little dolls
One for each mood of the day
Those thirteen little dolls
Cross your heart and try to sleep
Leave them out to play
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen little dolls
