Shadows of the Heart

[Verse] A candle flickers in the empty hall Shadows waltz where dreams could fall Echoes whisper secrets in my ear A melody of pain too sharp to bear [Verse 2] Your voice It lingers like a ghostly mist A haunting tune that my soul can't resist The piano cries with every pressing key The violin weeps in sorrowful plea [Chorus] Oh shadows of the heart do not fade You dance with me in this masquerade Through marble halls where darkness clings Love's a curse wrapped in broken strings [Verse 3] The weight of silence crushes through the air Heavy notes with no one left to care All the stars have fallen from the sky Leaving questions screaming why oh why [Bridge] The clock stands still in this eternal fight Each tick cuts deeper into the night But still I play this melody of despair A twisted dirge to prove that I was there [Chorus] Oh shadows of the heart do not fade You dance with me in this masquerade Through marble halls where darkness clings Love's a curse wrapped in broken strings
