The Dark Play Lyrics

The curtains of my opera
The gates of Hell in disguise
A secret play after midnight
On lights out past actors rise

The art of performing
The ghost keeps on calling lines out loud
To the missing crowd
He does it for arts sake
remembering his heart ache, his future bride
The day she died

Pain and sorrow forever more
The dark play still goes on today
Come on and join the dark play

O heavy day of dying
The potion of eternal rest
I can still see the bed where she's laying
Revenge now is all what is left

Try to hurt me
I'll make you burn
I will teach you
And you will learn
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Your god won't listen
You belong to me now

I am dying
Still I'm dying
I've been dying for so long

Please take my hand

Bring me lies - I'll give you fire
Be untrue - the flames get higher
I'm the one you desire
Bring me nothing - I'll leave you be
Try to fool me - I'll set you free
I'm the one that you want me to be
