The Old Lighthouse: Keeper of Sins

[Intro: Atmospheric waves crashing, distant lighthouse bell clanging, lonely seagull cries] [Verse 1] I recall that final scene, The scarf you wore, the space between. Your scent is lingering on my shirt... The taste of lips... the taste of hurt. You left in silence, hid your lies, Betrayal masked behind your eyes. I watched you from the harbor pier, The kiss you gave... was loud and clear. [Pre-Chorus] Hell is burning in my chest! Don't touch my nerves — they're at their best! I stand upon the cliff (A3), I'm staring at the black (C1), The pain I carry... there is no turning back. The shattered mist (C3) is blinding me with dread, I seek no mercy... for my soul is dead. [Chorus] I cursed our home, your scarf caught in the gale, Towards the lighthouse (A1), a hermit's lonely trail. Lighthouse (A1) is my tomb, my throne of stone (A3)! The blinding rage has left me all alone! The "Yellow Eye" (A2) is cutting through the deep, The life I sacrificed... is mine to keep! [Verse 2: Darker, more intense] The beam (A2) is gliding, promising a home, But heavy rocks (A3) are waiting in the foam. The hungry gulls (B1) are circling the abyss... A black-winged omen for a final kiss. I saw your scarf... the hour of vengeance came! I steered the ship to die in jagged shame! I gave no mercy, and I let you fall — I let the darkness... take it all! [Bridge: Ghostly whispers, sounds of wind] Waves (B1) hit the shore, like a heartbeat in my chest, They whisper: "Few will survive this final test..." The seagulls cry (B1), the wind (B1) begins to howl, A funeral song... for you, so dark and foul. [Outro: Slow, fading, creepy] Centuries have passed. The fire is long gone. The lighthouse (A1) is a ghost... waiting for the dawn. But every night a shadow stands so tall, The old lighthouse (A1) answers to the call! He counts the storms (C3), he keeps the secret well, In thickest fog (C3)... you'll hear the laugh from Hell! [Crazed maniacal laughter] (haa - ha - ha - haa) Yellow eye (A2)... in the night... Cutting through... No one is saved... No one... [Ending: Sound of a heavy door slamming, wind fades into silence]
