Pallid Reflection - Demo

Here forms a knotted sorrow
 The vivid grasp of fading faces
 Storm clouds plot to follow
 I wander despondent, a curse on the grave
 Her hair in my locket, a lock of nightshade
 And there in my pocket, I nurse the charade
 Her ring is awaiting her back
 I watch her from shadows, pariah by day
 I sleep in dark belfries and cellars away
 From the ungiving living, their neurotic plague
 Has turned her, as I to the black
 ♪
 Faster beats the drum of dark arcanum
 Marie
 I turned a deaf ear to heaven
 When the evil eye accompanied me
 You'll see
 I am no further needed in the mirror
 By my pallid reflection
 I thrust so perversely, the worst is this crave
 For sweet scarlet blood from a harlot parade
 Of dutiful victims I beautifully take
 With delicious malicious intent
 A gift from a goddess who toyed with her game
 The price of my night's infidelity paid
 At the altar of her never faltering blade
 Of infernal nocturnal descent
 Faster beats the heart of dark arcanum
 So I walk the moonlit quarters
 Like a driven beast of prey
 A catalyst for madness, slaughter
 Given the leash to play
 I'm detritus to my chosen
 A ghost for all her days
 Thus is Cocytus frozen
 From those loved and left betrayed
 ♪
 Dream-dappled streams of sunshine
 Dread fogs shall dissipate
 As red skies descend on graveyard floors
 Where the dead exhilarate
 "My heart is gone
 Taken by a nightmare bourgeois creature
 Now you belong
 To your sick womenagerie
 N, n, no, no
 I'm not the reason for this bleeding
 N, n, no, no
 My past is fast leaving me
 Aghast in purgatory
 ♪
 Marie
 I turned a deaf ear to heaven
 When the evil eye accompanied me
 You'll see
 I am no longer greeted in the mirror
 By my pallid reflection
 So I stalk the moonlit quarters
 Like a driven beast of prey
 A catalyst for madness, slaughter
 Given the season
 I taste the true nature
 Of this secret caste
 This devil undone
 Soars free at last
