Serenade!
Serenade!
Give me more of what I hate
Still!
Still!
Keep your poor heart weeping still
Posturing all left behind me
Wicked plans I once had stymied
Set my dreams upon the window sill
Cuts and burns will keep me under
Mephistopheles has my number
Never should have taken the red pill
I'm waking from the dream to realize that nothing's what it seemed
Finding myself lost in waves of dread that overwhelm my heart redeemed
Redeemed!
Redeemed, redeemed
Redeemed, my friend
This broken world won't be the end
I see, I see
I've seen the end
But don't know what's around that bend
Time becomes illusions
And I fight for one more day
Will I have to stay
Can I even stay
I will have to pay for
All my tears
All my fears
Wander in the moonlight
I light the streets ahead
All those years
All so near
Whisper in the shadows
And I fly amongst the dead
Take heed
Take heed
There's something hidden here
Which way
Wicker catches sparks in midnight air
A steed
A steed
Trotting on zephyr
No way
No way to escape the burning mare
Weapons drawn to face the sun
Her appetite for violence fed
Set the bones for all she's done
And ride the trail of Candlehead
She's cavalry with wolves on her heels
Running from the poison eels
Her spear will trace lines in the sand
Her fate is in her hands
A revolution of the planet
And she races around the world
A victim of the underhanded
Devil who chases little girls
Keep your daughters hands at night
Hold them tight
Bar your windows and your doors
You have been forewarned
She set fire to her heaven
No victory was had
She will never learn her lesson
As she's going mad
With a kiss to her ruby red soul
She set it adrift for the mermaid
The bells of death rang a half toll
Your soul will be eaten or saved
Little girl, what's your tale
Are you on fire for the Lord
Little girl, what is your tale
Were you sent to hell by the sword
Blinded by faith
Scorched by a wraith
The future of the world will be her claim
Gorged on her hate
Forged in her rage
The serpent offers fruit that bear her name
Bonded by blood
Evil and good
Staring across the great divide
Misunderstood
Lost childhood
Craving the lost, the ones who died
All my tears
All my fears
Wander in the moonlight
I light the streets ahead
All those years
All so near
Whisper in the shadows
And I fly amongst the dead
When I lose everything that I had left to live for
I feel the fires growing in my soul and my heart
The penalty for my sins, I can't take anymore
I'll make going insane look like an art
Weapons drawn to face the sun
Her appetite for violence fed
Set the bones for all she's done
And ride the trail of Candlehead
Face your dawn, it can't be done
Then ride the waves down instead
Blaze the sky and it is won
We ride the trail of Candlehead
