lyrics

If you haven’t been here until now
Now’s a good time to get here

Call up the exorcist
Get her on the line
Call up the exorcist
We’re running out of time

All these candles do is make mountains of wax
Our shrines are covered with dust and ash
The only things still working
Are the minds of the dreamers
But through these minds
Doubt has begun to pass

Call up the exorcist
Get her on the line
Call up the exorcist
We’re running out of the time

Orpheus has put down his lyre
The phoenix sees no reason to rise
The prophets are biting their tongues
It’s like we’re looking for Medusa’s eyes

Call up the exorcist
Get her on the line
Call up the exorcist
We’re running out of time

I live my life through the eyes of a stranger
I am that stranger
Floating in the sky
I am that stranger
Strangely floating
In the sky

Call up the exorcist
Get her on the line
Call up the exorcist
We’re running out of time
