Shalebridge Requiem (Robbing the Cradle)

(Verse 1) Whispers in the halls, they echo through the stone, Voices of the lost who were left to die alone. Footsteps in the dark, but they don’t belong to me, Shadows twist and turn, in a place I shouldn’t be. (Pre-Chorus) This Cradle holds its children tight, No escape, no end in sight. Every door is locked, every step retraced, I’m robbing The Cradle, but it’s claiming my grace. (Chorus) Can you hear them calling, crying out in vain? Trapped within the silence, haunted by their pain. The Cradle’s walls are breathing, I feel its icy hold, Robbing The Cradle, but it’s stealing my soul. (Verse 2) Faces in the mist, they watch with hollow eyes, Fragments of the past, where every promise dies. Torn between the shadows, I know I’m not alone, But every scream is swallowed by this house of flesh and bone. (Pre-Chorus) This Cradle holds its children tight, No escape, no end in sight. Every door is locked, every step retraced, I’m robbing The Cradle, but it’s claiming my grace. (Chorus) Can you hear them calling, crying out in vain? Trapped within the silence, haunted by their pain. The Cradle’s walls are breathing, I feel its icy hold, Robbing The Cradle, but it’s stealing my soul. (Bridge) The walls are closing in, the whispers never die, I’ll leave a part of me inside when I say goodbye. But will the Cradle let me leave, or take me as its own? In this place of nightmares, you’re never truly alone. (Outro) Can you hear them calling, crying out in vain? Trapped within the silence, haunted by their pain. The Cradle’s walls are breathing, I feel its icy hold, Robbing The Cradle, but it’s stealing my soul.
