Spoiler: Nameless (If you have ever seen Coraline, you will like this one.) Into the clutches of a needle-clad embrace The scars of ages adorn a time-eroded face Upon the young the sorceress preys Through the doorway as she waits Drowned in her wonders, wandering blind into her web Their lives and innocence she takes The Children wander through a sea of black and gray Souls cast asunder into suffering and pain Fell to a softly whispered song Cursed to wait forever long Holding their silence in the somber mist of night The Beldam seeks to feast upon Nothing left but helpless cries in vain Nothing left but broken promises Nothing left but sorrow Nothing left but loneliness and decadence inside Time after time, stripped of their will Suffocating, drowned in tears Whispers the song, sweet silent prayers Descend upon deaf ears Secrets of her cold and twisted plan Buried with the spirits of the slain Withering their nameless souls Children of the Beldam’s power victims to her call Time after time, stripped of their will Suffocating, drowned in tears Whispers the song, sweet silent prayers Descend upon deaf ears Sanity Drifting away in the silence of the dark Follow me Swift is the tongue of the softly whispered song Never can Never to dance through the gardens of my home Live again Breaking the spell is the only way to know The only way to know Spoiler: A Sight for Black Eyes I’m lost inside this trance still waiting for my second chance To tell you the things that you’ve needed so long to hear Eyes weary, soul too numb to feel the daggers you’ve thrust into me This time it’s all or nothing My hands are tied With you it’s always something You’re never satisfied It’s driving me insane so would you listen for a change I’ve spilled all my blood for you but for the times we’ve cried A part of me has slowly died, no tears can make up for lost time And now the time is waning Drop all the lies Your tale’s not worth explaining Its thorn’s still in my side Swift tongue and silver shroud whispered and lost in wake of doubt I’ve lost all my faith in you; see through your shallow gaze Our times have seen their better days; for sorrow, for sorrow true So answer me just why the noose around my neck’s still tied Still led to the gallows this time If I spilled my heart into your ears Would you still not here a word I’ve said? Desecrated to the point of tears Hollow still, my soul is just a shell If I close my eyes, wish it all away Will you take these words until the grave? No more sinful serenades today Of broken hearts in face of tragedy Spoiler: The Hell-Beaten Path The fatal flaw in man’s disease Will have you crawling on your knees Another day to die is all you’ll see You take a shot to kill the past Every lie to justify the last Don’t you know you’re living way too fast? Chorus And now it’s burning you alive (burning alive, burning alive) If I knew what to say I’d break this curse and free your tortured soul ‘Cause it’s killing me inside (to watch you go, to watch you go) Off the path so lost and cast into the never-ending hole Where do the helpless go? This pressure is too much to bear And you think that nobody would care Now your only comfort is despair Just one more shot is all it takes Don’t give a damn whose heart it breaks Can’t you hear my cries for Heaven’s sake? (Chorus) (Guitar Solo) Soul cries to see my hero fall this way (fall this way) Just like a wingless eagle; lost and gone astray Will you live this lie for one more day (one more day) Or will you die in vain? (will you die in vain?) Will you die in vain?
