[Slow Tempo] [Solo Piano] [Deep Baritone Vocals] [Reverb echo] [Intro] Rissa... (Rissa...) Can you hear me... (hear me) Across the empty street... [Verse 1] [Soft, hushed vocals] I bowed to a thousand faces When the curtain fell Now the only crowd I've got Are the dead who know me well Something's tearing me open From the inside out But I'm standing in the fog To keep you from the doubt [Verse 2] [Strings enter, building] Come here... just one hug Let me hold you like before Don't ask me how I died Don't ask for what you can't endure Laelah only loved me too loud She signed her grief away And the Nightmother keeps my soul For every day I stay [Pre-Chorus] [Drums enter, rising intensity] Two ghosts in one grave No peace for either one So I hold it in...

I won't need to The dark knows how to make him pay (the dark remembers) (the dark remembers) [Whispered Vocals] Sis... I'm still in here... (still in here) [Final Chorus] [Full orchestra, screaming guitars, epic choir, anguished vocals] RUN to the docks, find a ship, don't look back (don't look back) I'm a monster but I'm your monster tonight (your monster tonight) Believe me... just this once... one last time RUN Rissa run (run Rissa run) [Outro] [Piano alone, fading] Rissa... (Rissa...) Rissa... (...)
