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”
