Winter's Verge - Dark Entries lyrics

rate me

In the old part of town, there's a house from the past, <br />

That lies like a dark rested soul, <br />

And up in the attic, where the spiders are kings, <br />

Sits a bookshelf of silver and gold.<br />

A book stands within it, as black as the night, <br />

And it's pages are not filled with lies, <br />

The stories it holds were written in pain, <br />

From lost and unfortunate lives.<br />

<br />

Entry by entry, page by page<br />

A soul is taken away, <br />

Into the blackness, cursed to the darkness<br />

A diary of hero's betrayed.<br />

<br />

This book is a diary given to few<br />

Who their country they served and obeyed, <br />

The ones who their statues stand high and remind, <br />

Of an act that forever will stay.<br />

They'd seal their own page and smile with a grin, <br />

Thinking that they will be great, <br />

But they did not know that by signing in blood, <br />

It meant that they signed off their fate.<br />

Only a few have seen this book, <br />

In silence the scramble through life<br />

They dare not to speak of the nightmares they've seen<br />

And the horror that creeps in their minds.
