**[Intro]** *(Music box, distant piano, whispered vocals)* Night after night... Fright after fright... I hear it calling... The song... of death... **[Verse 1]** *(Clean vocals)* Night after night, I fade away Another shadow steals the day Every breath feels colder now I don't remember who I was My happiness is buried deep Somewhere beneath the lies you keep The silence sings inside my head A melody among the dead **[Pre-Chorus]** You were the light I couldn't lose... Now all I hear is funeral blues... **[Chorus]** *(Full band)* I hate this feeling I hate this pain I hate that I still speak your name I built my world around your heart You watched it tear itself apart You said forever... You let me fall... Now all that's left... Is the **Song of Death**... **[Verse 2]** *(Aggressive cleans)* You left me standing in the rain Holding every ounce of blame I thought you'd never walk away But forever lasted just one day I loved you more than words could say You chose another anyway Every promise turned to ash Every memory fades to black **[Pre-Chorus]** You were everything to me... Now you're just another ghost I'll never reach... **[Breakdown]** *(Deep growls)* YOU LEFT ME HERE! ALONE! TO DROWN INSIDE THE SILENCE! YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME! YOU LIED! NOW EVERY WORD SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE! I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING! AND YOU GAVE ME... NOTHING!! **[Bridge]** *(Piano and strings)* Maybe somewhere after all of this... Beyond the fire... Beyond the pain... Our paths will cross again... But if that day should ever come... Don't ask me why I changed... You taught me... **[Final Chorus]** *(Huge cinematic finish)* I hate this feeling I hate this pain I hate that I still speak your name You broke the heart You couldn't save Now I'm the echo of your name This is the anthem Of all I've lost A soul still carrying the cost The final verse... The final breath... Forever singing... The **Song of Death**... **[Outro]** *(Whispered over fading piano)* Night after night... Fright after fright... Your memory fades... But the song... Remains...
