Curse of the Virgin Canvas Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Adam Fisher (and Melissa Milke)]
I am here to tell you a story. A story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night. And though I will do my best, there are no words that can be written, nor brush strokes laid on canvas, that can describe the stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died
(The emptiness will haunt you.)
[Verse 1: Shawn Milke (and Dennis Lee)]
This is a nightmare, is my Annabel really gone?
(My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe)
Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn
(The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye)
[Pre-Chorus 1: Shawn (and Dennis)]
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory...
(Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
[Chorus: Shawn (and Dennis)]
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me
(Oh ecstasy you torture me)
[Verse 2: Shawn (and Dennis)
I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth
(Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows)
I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now
(You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still)
[Pre-Chorus 1: Shawn (and Dennis)]
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory...
(Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
[Chorus: Shawn (and Dennis)]
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me
(Oh ecstasy you torture me)
[Bridge: Shawn (and Dennis)]
(Sweet revenge... He will pay) My, (He will pay) dear
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone
The mirror says it all, a crimson story of innocence lost
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone
(What have I done to her?)
(So terribly memory returns of her struggle, of her screams, of her)
Lord forgive me!
(My stomach heaves as I see the blood that covers me
Blood that was once hers)
I'm a monster!
[Pre-Chorus 2: Shawn (and Dennis)]
... Such an awful memory... (Will I ever be able to sleep again?)
[Chorus: Shawn (and Dennis)]
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming
(Please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me
(Oh ecstasy you torture me)
[Outro: Dennis (and Shawn)]
Sweet revenge... I will pay (my!), I will pay (dear!)
[Spoken Outro: Melissa Milke]
A mirror never lies
They know, everybody knows
Do you not see what they see?
A mirror never lies
I see what they see. Everybody knows. Everybody knows

The Thespian Lyrics

[Intro]
Baby, why are you doing this to me?
Sweetheart, are those your eyes staring straight back at me?
Angel, I see you smile everywhere!
Darling, stop!
[Verse 1]
Night falls and I'm running in circles (Wohoo wohoo)
I'm being chased by my imagination (Wohoo wohoo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine
No one deserves to live like this!
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine
No one deserves to live like this!
[Chorus]
I touch your lips and stare in your eyes
You smile and it makes me fly
You are the reason my heart beats
Tonight it's just you and me
[Verse 2]
Night as dark as my thoughts sets the scene for my return
Lightning nips at my heels as I race home
Wearily I stagger towards the song of her pale voice
Demons jeer my attempt to be free
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine
No deserves to live like this!
Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine
Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine
No one deserves to live like this!
[Chorus]
I touch your lips and stare in your eyes
You smile and it makes me fly
You are the reason my heart beats
Tonight it's just you and me
[Bridge]
Windows cast her gentle reflection
Her somber silhouette dances for me
[Breakdown]
Look at you, you miserable fool
Get off your knees, your prayers fall upon deaf ears
God's turned his back on you, Heaven's gates are shut
And now you knocking on the devil's door
I've been expecting you for some time, sir
Allow me to introduce myself
I'm the one who pulls all the strings, son
You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand
This can't be real
Tonight I raise my glass
There's nothing left
For I know it's time to move on
[Outro]
All hope has failed
My patience will not last
I've lost my soul
Tomorrow I will be gone

The Lover Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is it her, could it be?
Should my eyes believe what they see?
If you are who I think you are
I might lose my mind
[Verse 2]
Just a kiss from her lips
And I would simply float away
The way her hips swing back and forth
I've got butterflies
[Pre-Chorus]
Dead girls don't just appear out of thin air
But I am victim to her sinister stare
[Chorus]
Please don't hate me for what I've done
Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need
Such a pretty girl screams to me
Take my hand, take my breath away
What if my heart breaks the spell?
Take my breath away
[Verse 3]
Just a scent of her skin
Unlocks forbidden memories
Your smiles that break the fragile hand
I've got butterflies
[Pre-Chorus]
Dead girls don't just appear out thin air
But I am victim to her sinister stare
[Chorus]
Please don't hate me for what I've done
Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need
Such a pretty girl screams to me
Take my hand, take my breath away
What if my heart breaks again?
[Bridge]
I'll be your anchor, I'll be your lover
I'll be your anchor, I'll be your lover
And then your heart is solid gold
I'll bear my soul to you now
[Chorus]
Please don't hate me for what I've done
Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need
Such a pretty girl screams to me
Take my hand, take my breath away
[Outro]
I can't lose you again
I can't lose you again
I can't lose you again
I'm nothing without you
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
Angel

In Her Tomb by the Sounding Sea Lyrics

7 ContributorsIn Her Tomb by the Sounding Sea LyricsThis song title is taken directly from the last line of Edgar Allen Poe’s ā€œAnnabel Leeā€, the inspiration for the album.
ā€œFor the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
ā€ƒā€ƒOf the beautiful Annabel Lee;… Read MoreĀ So I'm thinking we should maybe just run away from here
With no plan of coming back
We can stay away forever, our anguished love will be all we have
And I will save your life
It's happening again, It's happening again
I won't watch you die
It's happening again, It's happening again
I can see it's not the first time you have come and taken her from me
Rest assured it's not the last time, I'm going to set you free
You took her once, shame on you
You took her twice, shame on me
Whisper softly and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Please forgive me and know that I am sorry
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory
I'm falling apart
Do you realize it's over?
There's no chance of leaving here alive
You don't realize what you're saying, without me you can't survive
You took her once, shame on you
You took her twice, shame on me
Whisper softly and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Please forgive me and know that I am sorry
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory, I've lost it all
I'm falling apart, you've ripped out my heart
I'm falling apart, I don't know where to start
I don't want to go (It's happening again, It's happening again)
But I can't let it show.(I'll be with her again, together til the end.)
If I have to go(It's happening again, It's happening again)
I'll be damned if I'm alone.(I'll be with her again)
Whisper softly and tell me that you love me
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Please forgive me and know that I am sorry
I'm losing you, I don't know what to do
Trapped inside a memory, I've lost it all
