Just been touching up these lyrics. It's been an annoying song for me in some ways because I just can't seem to settle on any final lyrics. I'm just never completely happy with it... a shame because it's got a catchy tune to it and I like the overall feel of it. But every time I come back to look at it I have to fiddle with the lyrics again.
VERSE
Imagine the scene
That begins with a scream
And a maiden falls dead to the ground
In moonlight she lies
With her eyes open wide
Staring still at the terror she'd found
VERSE
A river of blood
On the ground where she'd stood
Feed the demons with fire-blazing eyes
And towering above her
A man like no other
'Twas the Lord of the Realm of the Night
CHORUS
And the Lord of Darkness
He says to the girl
“Come forth ye and walk by my side
'Tis All Hallows’ Eve
And the dark rules supreme”
Then he gathered her soul in his arms
VERSE
He had come from afar
With the blackest of hearts
And the villagers cowered at his feet
And ere All Hallows’ Night
He demanded his right
“Gift a pretty, young virgin to me!”
VERSE
Amd thus it was so
That a lottery chose
Of the maidens come just ripe of age
The child of the mayor
And she wept with despair
As they led her away to her fate
CHORUS
And the Lord of Darkness
He says to the girl
“Come forth ye and walk by my side
'Tis All Hallows’ Eve
And the dark rules supreme”
Then he gathered her soul in his arms
VERSE
'Twas a cold winter's night
With th ewinds chilling bite
As the villagers trapesed slowly home
For though they were saved
'Twas a harsh price to pay
And the seeds of His downfall were sown
VERSE
Let the Dark Lord beware
Of the strength of the curse
That the villagers swore in their pain
“Though she'll walk by his side
She will walk in the light
And the light, it will burn him away!”
CHORUS
Though the Lord of Darkness
Will say to the girl
“Come forth ye and give me thy heart”
Though she'll lay by his side
He'll be always denied
Though entwined, the will be far apart
INSTRUMENTAL
EXTRA
The villagers prayed
To the Lord on that day
To release her poor soul
But He said, “it's too late”
And all He could do
Was to keep them as two
Never one, never joined
So the Dark Lord must choose
To go on all alone
With a queen on His throne
Who would never be His
Or to let go her soul
In torment, in pain
In great anger and shame
In the dead of the night
Cast the Dark Lord His fate
He truly believed
That's she'd sate all his needs
But he faces the truth
That it's way out of reach
VERSE
So in darkness they walk
And in whispers they talk
In great torment they roam in the night
Together in darkness
Forever apart this
Is how they protected their Lady of Light
From the cold, evil touch
Of the Lord of the Realm of the Night
CHORUS
And the Lord of Darkness
He said to the girl
“Come give me your hand as my bride”
She looked in His eyes
And she whispered goodbye
To the Lord of the Realm of the Night...
