The Turning

Lurking out of sight
Night shall fall and feed my frenzy
Beneath an eerie moon
A change comes over me
Eyes glow by candlelight
A face divided in the mirror
My psyche ripped by daggers of my alchemy
Side by side with myself again
As midnight's curse descends on trembling hands
Oh, save my soul
Losing control when the bell tolls
Savage on the prowl
In the lamplight's glow nocturnal
My breath hangs like ghosts in the evening air
This ill effect a vile creation
Of my design abomination
The madness rages on and on
Side by side with myself again
As midnight's curse descends on trembling hands
Oh, save my soul
Losing control when the bell tolls
Oh, feed my soul
I'm in control when the bell tolls
