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
