Lyrics:

Open the door

Can you hear the drums

There is panic on the mountain

Coz a new God's come

He doesn't recognise himself

Or what he's done

But if you don't embrace him then it's time to run

If you don't believe in him

Open the door, and let me in

I've been out in the chat rooms

Waiting for the end to begin

Maybe I'm a young man with a broken wing

Maybe I'm just searching for a voice within me

Hope you can hear me calling

Open the door

Delirium x 2

Sooner or later

Delirium x 2

Shrunken China heads

Delirium x 2

Peg legged slave trader

Open the door

Raise the alarm

There’s fires on the mountain

And the full moon’s come

If you are sitting in darkness with your loaded gun

It's time you understood you gotta get up and run

I hope that you can hear me calling

“I am Vlad the tooth fairy”

Open the door

Delirium x2

Sooner or later

Delirium x2

Shrunken China heads

Delirium x 2

Peg legged slave trader

You shrunken china chief head dealer

With wooden tits on the front of the ship

You shrunken china chief head dealer

Coming home sinner

You shrunken china chief head dealer
