lyrics

Pour another drink, fire burn so hot
The thief sleeps right above, clueless fool he knows naught
Since we been man and wife, never I been so crazed
You know what this means, gold for all our days

Slice a finger off, melt it down to wax
A candle full of fire, to freeze them in their tracks
The wick from dead man's hair, better to burn all night
candle in dead hand, flickering with pale light

The Hand of Glory loose the lock
The Hand of Glory calls to me
The Hand of Glory the stairs I climb
The Hand of Glory it must be mine

Climbing step by step, almost to his room
What was his now mine, such fortune to come soon
Stumble through the door, fumble for the light
With dead hand in hand, I will command the night

The Hand of Glory loose the lock
The Hand of Glory calls to me
The Hand of Glory the stairs I climb
The Hand of Glory it must be mine

But he moved too fast and I never saw the rusty blade right there at the bedside

I hear crash and crack, coming from floors above
Broken on the floor, the body of my love
The killer thief must pay, return what he stole from thee
But he is fled from here, whispering through the trees

The Hand of Glory loose the lock
The Hand of Glory calls to me
The Hand of Glory the stairs I climb
The Hand of Glory it must be mine
