Album: The Opera Ghost
I’ve been waiting for the night to show
I’ve been waiting for it all
The moon must fall
Moon must fall
With my lantern he will surely know
Know I’m waiting at his door
It falls… it falls
Pestilence, the virus of madness
«Haunting me», he cried in dark
Lay below, he could not find peace there
Death had come, his shadow so stark
A single ray of light
It shined upon the eye so evil
Too scared to take flight
We balked waiting on a move
If only you had seen how clever I had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark
As the light escaped from the lantern
On his eyes, fixed deep in my head
Saw my chance — I sprung on my victim
Heart alive, I toppled the bed
Gasping breath the heart stops beating
I can’t hear a knocking now
If only you had seen how clever I had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark
A knock on the door
Three men in all
The man’s in the floor
He took the fall
They’d never know — I was too clever
They’d never know — I lead to the floor
A thump from the floor
The man was alive
More loud than before
I know they here it I killed the man that lives here
I killed him this very night
The Tell-Tale Heart is still beating, just end this wicked night!
