A Grain of Truth

Lyrics

A line of blackthorns bordering the side of the way That horses rode for days A flock of starlings circling above the ravine Throughout the damp and haze A naked branch of old oaks twisted By the coils of wild vines twirling A parchment filled with runes And a deep-blue rose I'll find you tonight - feel my desire A lady dressed in white - blood and fire The creature won't die - feel my desire And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir Deep in the woods a rotten castle staring the lands From hilltop high above A bloodshot eyed foul creature living a quarantine Duped by a spell of love A grain of truth, it must be hidden In the legends, in the stories A final spark of hope To walk away I'll find you tonight - feel my desire A lady dressed in white - blood and fire The creature won't die - feel my desire And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir I'm lost in a nightmare I will free you from the curse you bear Blood's not the answer Blood's the reason that I still walk this earth I'm falling to pieces My love, don't you dare to despair The death you're unfolding A hex you'll endure right by my side For the heinous maleficia of the mind and the flesh Clad in monstrous guise, ill fated vest never to undress A gigantic bear like head and tongue that flickers like flame A monster in a monster's skin, the true evidence of shame I'll find you tonight - feel my desire A lady dressed in white - blood and fire The creature won't die - feel my desire And in the dead of night - hear the infernal choir A hex you'll endure right by my side
