Curse Of The Virgin Canvas

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

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

Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory
Will I comfort, be able to sleep again?

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

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

Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory
Will I comfort, be able to sleep again?

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

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

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

Such an awful memory
Will I comfort, be able to sleep again?

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

Sweet revenge, he will pay
My, he will pay, dear

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
