I am here to tell you a story A story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night And though I will do my best, there are no words that can be written Nor brush strokes laid on canvas, that can describe The stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died ( The emptiness will haunt you ) This is a nightmare; is my Annabel really gone? ( My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe ) Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn ( The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye ) Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close Soon this will be just an awful memory ( Will I ever be able to sleep again? ) My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming ( Please, wake me up, please, wake me ) A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me ( Oh, ecstasy, you torture me ) I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth ( Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows ) I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now ( You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still ) Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close Soon this will be just an awful memory ( Will I ever be able to sleep again? ) My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming ( Please, wake me up, please, wake me ) A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me ( Oh, ecstasy, you torture me ) ( Sweet revenge, he will pay, he will pay ) My dear Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone The mirror says it all, a crimson story of innocence lost ( What have I done to her? ) Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone So terribly, memory returns Of her struggle, of her screams, of her Lord, forgive me My stomach heaves as I see the blood That covers me, blood that was once hers I'm a monster (I'm a monster) Such an awful memory (Will I ever be able to sleep again?) My angel, lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming ( Please, wake me up, please, wake me ) A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me ( Oh, ecstasy, you torture me ) Sweet revenge, I will pay, I will pay ( My dear ) A mirror never lies (A mirror never lies) They know, everybody knows Do you not see what they see? (A mirror never lies) A mirror never lies (A mirror never lies) I see what they see (A mirror never lies) Everybody knows, everybody knows (A mirror never lies)

What is wrong with her eyes? A glossy stare that won't leave me be Starts my blood running cold A gaze that could make Hell freeze over I have to understand she's gone But she's not Don't you tell me that she is dead Watch her lips softly move Because she's still whispering to me And something here is not quite right (And something here is not quite right) Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hair and close her eyes But I cannot stand to turn away When I do, she'll be gone It's frightening Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door ( They'll be here soon ) I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me Running now will only make it worse ( They'll be here soon ) I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? I won't Shaking as I rest her body down No one knows, only me It's frightening Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door ( They'll be here soon ) I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me Running now will only make it worse ( They'll be here soon ) I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? Why should I even try to stop the collapse? Why should I even try? There's a madman staring straight at me Oh, I know I've seen his face before I am sure I've seen his face before Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? I won't

If only you could see If only you could see (You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of) If only you could see If only you could see Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes?Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight ( Tonight ) It was your poison kiss that turned me into thisThen again, there is a chance you could be mine ( Tonight ) Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear ( I wish you could see ) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? (Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?) What fate has led me here? Oh, please forgive me, dear I don't know if I could survive on my own ( My own ) I could have married you, instead I buried youNow we'll see if I can fall asleep alone ( Alone ) Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear ( I wish you could see ) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? (Are you satisfied?) The nightmares coming true (Are you satisfied?) It was all for you (Are you satisfied?) I did it all for you (Are you satisfied?) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Darling, will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear ( I wish you could see ) I wish you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied? The depth of a man's soul cannot be measured In a manner of meters and fathoms But rather it is, in my opinion Only quantified by his proximity to Heaven and Hell It was in such a state that I ushered myself past the town tavern Bursting at the seams with the sounds of laughter and drunken piano playing Had it only been a different night, a different place Or a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub The events that transpired at that point Would have undoubtedly been drastically different I can only guess if anyone outside that place Had a clue when those exclamations of mirth Became the desperate screams of the helpless Begging for their very lives

Is it about time? Oh, yes, it is (It really is) Let's get this party started My hands are shaking Just take a drink ( Steady your nerves ) Let's get this party started Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to die?

I'm going crazy without you It's hard to believe, but I'm having fun Annabel, look what you've started The knife slides down the tip of my tongue I'm finding pleasure in watching you writhe (You, yeah) I lean in just to lick the sweat off your face (Yeah) I taste the reverence dripping down my throat But you should know, I'm dangerous My thirst for blood turns me on (How sweet) Is this what we pictured the night that we said, "You're the one?"

I'm so glad that all of you came Looking in, I see a lonely man etching tallies into the bar Looking on, I see a desperate man repeating something to the floor Oh, how blood turns me on (So sweet) Is this what we pictured the night that we said, "You're the one?" I'm going crazy without you It's hard to believe, but I'm having fun Annabel, look what you've started

Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky You smiled and said to me, "A love like this can never truly die" So now the show's over, and I've got to disguise the thing I've become I only wish I could stop laughing I grin because the joke is on them this time They don't have a clue Calm consumes me ( I ) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me ( Immerse ) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy ( Myself ) Oh, the visions inside my head ( In self-reflection ) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now ( Immerse ) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed ( Myself ) Oh, what little regret I have ( In self-reflection ) Does that make me a killer? I am the face of death standing right Behind you, yet you're oblivious To my cold breath on your neck Is it just too easy? Am I just too good at this? I am the chosen one, I am the end of all And now you are mine Calm consumes me ( I ) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me ( Immerse ) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy ( Myself ) Oh, the visions inside my head ( In self-reflection ) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now ( Immerse ) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed ( Myself ) Oh, what little regret I have ( In self-reflection ) Does that make me a killer? Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky You smiled and said to me, "A love like this can never truly die" Let's just say you're right and the nightmare ends, we wake up side by side What makes you think that I would let you live? I've really lost my mind Behold, for I am the will of the reaper Beg for the mercy of your worthless angels As relief washes over me, calm consumes me (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make me a killer?

(Baby) Why are you doing this to me? (Sweetheart) Are those your eyes staring straight back at me? (Angel) I see you smile everywhere (Darling) Stop Night falls and I'm running in circles, woah-woah-oh ( Woah-oh ) I'm being chased by my imagination, woah-woah-oh ( Woah-oh ) Tell me I'm forgiven, say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this Tell me I'm forgiven, say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile, and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight, it's just you and me Night as dark as my thought sets the scene for my return Lightning nips at my heels as I race home Wearily, I stagger towards the song of her pale voice Demons jeer my attempt to be free Tell me I'm forgiven, say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this Tell me I'm forgiven, say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile, and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight, it's just you and me Windows cast her gentle reflection ( —flection ) Her somber silhouette dances for me ( It's time ) Look at you, you miserable fool Get off your knees, and your prayers fall upon deaf ears God's turned His back on you, Heaven's gates are shut And now you're knocking on the Devil's door I've been expecting you for some time, sir Allow me to introduce myself I'm the one who pulls on all of the strings, son You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand This can't be real Tonight, I raise my glass There's nothing left For I know it's time to move on All hope has failed My patience will not last I've lost my soul Tomorrow, I will be gone

I've made up my mind, and I will be leaving Leaving this cruel, dark world For the soulless to share But first Women will shriek and watch their husbands bleed Children will cry ( Children will cry ), and watch their mothers die Because tonight ( Because tonight ) Tonight, we all go to Hell ( Why? ) I have to let go of what happened to my love I am taking out on everyone else all the problems I've brought on myself When I made your heart melt My belle, we soon will meet again There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away There's no one left to talk me down My feet are slipping One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories Of the day that I left her Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one I am chasing after For better, or even for worse, remember me forever Now the only question left is how to take you all down with me The coroner will have his hands full tonight That is, if he is not among the dead Dead will choke the street with such vulgarity that grown men will weep And then you will find the end is drawing nigh There's nothing left for me to lose except confusion I'm finished trying to tell myself this will go away There's no one left to talk me down My feet are slipping One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories Of the day that I left her Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one I am chasing after For better, or even for worse, remember me The dizziness stuns me; would someone please distract me? Can I really get through this? Can I really betray myself? For better or for worse, remember forever ( There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat ) The dizziness stuns me; would someone please distract me? ( And as the blade bites my skin, Annabel appears ) Can I really get through this? Can I really betray myself? For better or for worse, remember forever ( For better or for worse, remember me forever ) One day, oh, I hope my name doesn't bring back memories Of the day that I left her Goodbye, so long, my heart belongs to the one I am chasing after For better, or even for worse, remember me forever

Is it her? Could it be? Should my eyes believe what they see? If you are who I think you are I might lose my mind Just a kiss from her lips And I would simply float away The way her hips swing back and forth I've got butterflies Dead girls don't just appear out of thin air But I am victim to her sinister stare Please don't hate me for what I've done Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need Such a pretty girl screams to me Take my hand, take my breath away What if my heart breaks the spell? ( Take my breath away ) Just the scent of her skin Unlocks forbidden memories Your smiles that break the fragile hand I've got butterflies Dead girls don't just appear out of thin air But I am victim to her sinister stare Please don't hate me for what I've done Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need Such a pretty girl screams to me Take my hand, take my breath away What if my heart breaks again? I'll be your anchor, I'll be your lover I'll be your anchor, I'll be your lover And then your heart is full of doubt I'll bear my soul to you now Please don't hate me for what I've done Run away with me, I'll be everything that you need Such a pretty girl screams to me Take my hand, take my breath away I can't lose you again, I can't lose you again, I can't lose you again I'm nothing without you I'll never let you down, I'll never let you down, I'll never let you down Angel

Look at the sky as the night descends The rain is crashing down, I’ve hit another dead end Just before I let hope slip away A shadow is revealed, the Devil shows his face I’m scared to death and have myself to blame; I’m to blame How did we end up fighting anyway? You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were I need you by my side; we can end this together I know I promised you the world, and still I let you down I need you by my side, and together, we’ll end this now Look in my eyes, am I shaking now? I am all you fear, have I made myself clear? Shut your mouth and finish what you’ve started Boy, you haven’t got the slightest idea Just who I am and what I do for you Don’t you see that I am trying to save you? Shut your mouth and finish what you’ve started I’m scared to death and have myself to blame; no one else How did we end up fighting anyway? You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were I need you by my side; we can end this together I know I promised you the world, and still I let you down I need you by my side, and together, we’ll end this now As the last rays of sunlight fade, one killer chases another Through the tangled madness of the city A flash of steel announces the presence of his quarry The stage is set, the night explodes You killed her, you murderer You have stripped me of the one that I love Annabel, our Annabel (You murderer, you murderer) You have no clue what she’s capable of I’m scared to death and have myself to blame (I'm scared to death and have myself to blame) How did we end up fighting anyway? You know, I used to search the sky and dream of where you were I need you by my side; we can end this together I know I promised you the world, and still I let you down I need you by my side, and together, we’ll end this now You’d better look behind you

How does the dagger feel now When you're on the receiving end? If this is what you call betrayal Then this is what I call revenge How could I be so blind?
