SéanceWe called it, now it answer backShould have never said the name, now it know the way to trackSéanceWe lit the candles for a thrill, for a gameBut the thing that came to visit doesn't leave the way it cameDon't break the circle, don't say it twiceThe thing you summon for a thrill don't leave without a priceCandles low and the table shookWe opened up a door that don't close back the way it lookAsked it for a sign, it gave us nineNow it knock from the inside on the wrong side of the lineSéanceWe called it, now it answer backShould have never said the name, now it know the way to trackSéanceWe thought we held the power with the candle and the chalkWe thought that we were asking but it's us that had to talkThe planchette started moving on its own across the boardAnd it spelled a single word we wish we'd never storedIt said hello, it said finally, it said you opened up the doorNow it's standing in the kitchen and it isn't leaving anymoreSéanceWe called it, now it answer backShould have never said the name, now it know the way to trackSéanceThe temperature went under, every candle in the roomSnuffed out at the same second and the dark became a tombWe laughed it off at first, we said it's just a draftBut the laughter died the moment that the thing began to laughIt came up through the floorboards, it came down through the airWe came to play a game, and now it's playing us from thereBlow the candles, blow them out, it doesn't help at allThe dark we let in through the game is walking down the hallSay goodbye, say goodbye, the way the old ones saidBut the thing about a séance is it wakes up all the deadSo if you find a Ouija and you're bored some rainy nightRemember every door you open isn't yours to shut up tightWe were curious, we were careless, we were certain we were safeNow there's something in the photographs that wears a borrowed faceDon't call it, don't name it, don't go looking for the thrillThe dead are only quiet till you ask them, and they willSéanceWe called it, now it answer backShould have never said the name, now it know the way to trackSéance
