The Emptiness

[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

[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

[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

7 ContributorsIn Her Tomb by the Sounding Sea LyricsThis song title is taken directly from the last line of Edgar Allen Poe’s “Annabel Lee”, the inspiration for the album.

“For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

  Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;… Read More 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
