I Know You Are There - The Handsome Family

When the rope of death strangles

And dark waters roar and foam

When fear and trembling hold me

And the slimy grip pulls down

I know you are there

When the pale starlight is fading

And sorrow fills my heart

When dewdrops fall so sweetly

On the green green grass at dawn

I know you are there

I know you are there

I know you are there

When black fish swim ponds of silver

Where jade water lilies grow

When devils dance around me

And the flames of madness grow

I know you are there

When the softly-calling bluebirds

Drift through the lazy clouds

When white owls circle screaming

And gravel fills my mouth

I know you are there

I know you are there

I know you are there

I know you are there

I know you are there

I know you are there
