As she went a gliding by, a scent so tempting from inside The doorway of the stoves of Dauntsey Maybe familiar, maybe not, what could be inside the pot that simmers on the stoves of Dauntsey? It reeled her inside A noise from behind A key turns in the lock Heartbeat stricken with shock Then she learned, quite rapidly,this is not the place to be Alone by the stoves of Dauntsey Footsteps she hears suddenly stop Soon she will be in the pot that simmers on the stoves of Dauntsey

Renaisseance 02:07
The next time that you come down please stay You keep the shadows in this room away And if you tell me thaty ou will never leave We’ll build ourselves a world no one will believe I know love comes alive when your presence oozes down Love stays alive when your mist is all around They’ll try, no doubt, to prove that you’re not there Or write me off as crazy, maybe, I don’t care And if you promise that you will never leave We’ll join our afterlives forever when I cease to breathe

Scream all night til you’re blue in the face But Nancy won’t know you’re here Shake her bones all out of place But Nancy won’t know you’re here Seek intervention from above Sing all the songs she used to love Cry and wail up to your dying breath Nancy doesn’t live here anymore A thousand questions leave your lips But Nancy doesn’t know you’re here Tears, like rain, one final kiss But Nancy doesn’t know you’re here Confronting her with history Solving sacred mysteries Won’t stimulate a thing behind her eyes Nancy doesn't live here anynmore

ll you ever do is complain On and on, over and over again Day in, day out, year after year Constant whining, tantrums, tears Every hour that you’re awake There’s only so much one can take A solution I have found So let’s stop messing around And fix this dilemma at last Just sit back and raise a glass To the future without you Because you won’t be here very soon Down in one, problem solved Ahhhhhhh Cyanide
5.
Hope is disappearing from my dreams After all the curtains fall, what will be left to see? Melancholia has gone to town Paradise as cold as ice, it's crystal clear now There is no further down How do you know we're not in Hell?

Mannequin 01:58
All alone in the furthest room, where they can't hear you crying No one's supposed to know you're there, out of sight and mind I want you, I need you, I love you, my mannequin I dress you up in haute couture and make your face so pretty Open the drapes, take your hand to dance under the stars Hold you, absorb you, adore you, my mannequin Everybody needs a love song Take hope from some other failures' lines I see the happiness in loneliness when I uncover your eyes
7.
I see your shape against the light from your room A few more hours, I'll be coming for you Cos I want you, I want you in my heart I like to come over when there's no one around And find my way in without making asound Cos I need you, I need you in my heart When my shadow's falling, falling over you Who knows what might happen if I wake you? The time has come to tell you how I'm feeling one on one Venetian blonde When all's said and done, I'm sure we can co-exist as one Venetian blonde Be mine

Weirdo 01:38
His skin is pale, his clothes are black A trail of whispers behind his back Never smiles, always alone A mystery of the unknown If they could only take an interest in their own grey lives They just wanna know about the weirdo That hides away from daylight They just wanna know, about the weirdo That shies away from you Dark demeanour, an evil stare Irresponsive, acutely aware Unique aroma, intriguing walk Cuts through the mist of idle talk He said, she said, melodrama, rumour circle lives

The spider's happy alone with the fly Watching the world through arachnid eyes Statuesque, he'd rather not get involved Quite content in his ethereal bed Always clinging to life by a thread Loved or loathed, makes no difference at all Silk tangled lies, silk tangled lies He's not hurting anyone Silk tangled lies, silk tangled lies Forcing that web to come undone Maintains position no matter the threat Greater the danger the closer they get The faintest vibration gives them away Silk tangled lies, silk tangled lies He's not hurting anyone Silk tangled lies, silk tangled lies Forcing that web to come undone Sweet mangled flies, black lullabies Awaits whomever makes him strike Goodnight

Did you think you were getting somewhere Building a rapport maybe Well, I'm not gonna tell ya, I will never say Each one of their final moments shall remain a secret because... I'm not gonna give ya, anything you need Not for all the mercy in the world At anytime I could grant you closure, take you to their resting place But I'm not gonna show ya, you will never see I will build a wall from silence daubed with my sadistic grin Oh I'm not gonna tell ya, I will never say I'm revealing nothing Not for all the mercy in the world
11.
It's about to become so frightening More with every pendulum swing That pile of clothes won't resemble your clothes anymore The darkness is truly enlightening when all of your favourite things Seem to move on their own, forming silhouettes that weren't there before But it's only a matter of time Wave goodbye to your mind Only a matter of time Wave goodbye to your mind Your eyes will only deceive you, peering over the sheets Fall more victim to panic with every noise that you hear It's only a matter of time Wave goodbye to your mind Only a matter of time Wave goodbye to your mind No longer your safest place in the world The night is young, nerves are fraying one by one
12.
A terrifying vision of oncoming pain Carrion army, advancing your way Bring out your dead Silhouette of repulsion, white callous eyes Leaving their trail of crimson Following the scythe Bring out your dead

Mary Lou’s in love again Just don’t hold your breath All previous betrothed to her Soon after met their deaths A sly roving eye The dirtiest lies Secretive notes A slit of the throat Mary Lou’s in love again He’s asked to take her hand Those previous betrothed to her Are scattered on her land If you’re thinking to stray Have your wicked way One mistake from you Will be the last thing you do If you dare answer back A frenzied attack Before you can blink Your head’s in the sink Mary Lou's in love again
