The Wretched
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Welcome, my friend, now it's you and I
Do you sense the eye that watches you?
Can you feel her muted scream?
This is our very own horrid dream
Can you hear her hollow cry
From the other side?
You can't see her, you can't reach her
But you feel her watching you
Now she sings her lullaby
The sun has died
This is the voyage
That never ends
A black light, the lost souls are craving
Clinging to their last glimpse of hope
A black light, veiled eyes
(The restless won't leave you alone)
You cannot set them free
The blood flows, your fear grows
(Awaiting an accident)
Veiled eyes, see right through your darkened mind
(You cannot set them free)
A black light, the lost souls are craving
Clinging to their last glimpse of hope
Veiled eyes, see right through your darkened mind
(You cannot set them free)
Your demons speak for hate…
You’re bleeding burns bring for have
The song of demons plays on the wind
Can you hear the wretched's call?
Their shuffling feet, your pounding heart
Now you know you're falling
Chanting words you do not catch
Their cries for help you never sensed
An organic mass of despair
This nightly mare
They cry your name, which is silence
They play their game, which is violence
Unsound!
