Curse of the Virgin Canvas

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Adam Fisher & Melissa Milke] 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) [Verse 1: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] 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) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke, Shawn Milke] 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?) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee & Melissa Milke] 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) [Verse 2: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] 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) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke, Shawn Milke] 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?) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee & Melissa Milke] 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) [Bridge: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] (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 [Breakdown: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] (I'm a monster) Such an awful memory (Will I ever be able to sleep again?) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee & Melissa Milke] 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) [Outro: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Sweet revenge, I will pay, I will pay (My dear) [Spoken Outro: Melissa Milke] 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)
