[spoken word] [Verse] Shackled to her bed This beauty has fallen Shrouded by the shadows of the beast's calling Prayers and sacred offerings won't slow the beast's charge For only purity's blood will open the gate to her heart [Chorus] He walks through the darkened halls The only light A crescent moon gleams from her window Her faint whisperings cast aside As the beast lays his hands on her throat It begins As he crushes her Her face turns a ghostly white Her blue eyes turn to his A plea for life As her mind enters an eternal night Her soul leaves her And she dies [Post-Chorus] He looks upon his work with pride The last breath escaping her As he slithers out the window Her gaze begins to blur Her corpse is found on the morrow Tears rain upon her grave But no amount of sorrow will ever bring her back [Verse] He wonders if he's human Or something different entirely His mind Split in two Half of him does this for her For her love Half of him does this for him For his love He cannot continue down this road For the guilt is too much for him to bear [Chorus] Her ghost haunts him The only light The crescent moon gleams from her window Her faint whisperings Her ghost haunts him The only light The crescent moon gleams from her window Her faint whisperings [Post-Chorus] He looks upon his work with pride The last breath escaping her As he slithers out the window Her gaze begins to blur Her corpse is found on the morrow Tears rain upon her grave But no amount of sorrow will ever bring her back [Outro] For only purity's blood will open the gate to her heart As the beast lays his hands on her throat As the beast lays his hands on her throat
