Portrait

PORTRAIT
 There's a portrait on the wall and it seems she's smiling
 A lady in black with red stains on her dress
 Tied to a tree is a rope and it hangs longingly
 Under the moon a procession of death
 I can see her standing there, in a trance she calls to me
 Underneath this moonlit starry night
 Siren song takes me in, there is no saving me
 Alone in this nightmare I walk into the light
 I can hear her say
 Come with me and I will show you what I have seen
 Slowly ascending our way towards a dream, so steadily
 "Shadows entwined around this dark heart of mine, it lies silently"
 In between my trembling hands her neck slides gracefully
 Rolling eyes no longer look so hard
 I see she's fading fast disappearing before me
 Her life slips away under my grasp
 Come with me and I will show you what I have seen
 Slowly ascending our way towards a dream, so steadily
 "Shadows entwined around this dark heart of mine, it lies silently"
