Âme Perdue

Thickly somber, idle chatter clogs the mournful air

Thickly somber, idle chatter clogs the mournful air From up above, her knees still wobble on the shaky dais

Thickly somber, idle chatter clogs the mournful air From up above, her knees still wobble on the shaky dais Her shameful stare centers on her bluish ink smudged hands

Thickly somber, idle chatter clogs the mournful air From up above, her knees still wobble on the shaky dais Her shameful stare centers on her bluish ink smudged hands In and out uneven breaths are ragged and unsound

Teary cheeks grow alive as buzzing slows to fade

Teary cheeks grow alive as buzzing slows to fade Her time to speak creeps closer still and pounding heart ensues

Teary cheeks grow alive as buzzing slows to fade Her time to speak creeps closer still and pounding heart ensues Butterflies in chaosed frenzy flip her heart as she lifts her view

Teary cheeks grow alive as buzzing slows to fade Her time to speak creeps closer still and pounding heart ensues Butterflies in chaosed frenzy flip her heart as she lifts her view Yet just before she starts to speak, her entire body stills

"You?" She whispered, widened eyes frozen in the air

"You?" She whispered, widened eyes frozen in the air Her frantic words denied it hard despite her plain in gaze

"You?" She whispers, widened eyes frozen in the air Her frantic words denied it hard despite her plain in gaze "It cannot be... no, no... not here." resounding fear now louder

"You?" She whispers, widened eyes frozen in the air Her frantic words denied it hard despite her plain in gaze "It cannot be... no, no... not here." resounding fear now louder Heads turn to her distressed cries yet nothings found as their eyes scour

Frustrated she yells, "Why have you come?"

Frustrated she yells, "Why have you come?" Murmurs rise,

Frustrated she yells, "Why have you come?" Murmurs rise, her hands go numb

Frustrated she yells, "Why have you come?" Murmurs rise, her hands go numb Windows freeze as cold as ice

Frustrated she yells, "Why have you come?" Murmurs rise, her hands go numb Windows freeze as cold as ice And there she stands clear in her sights

Clearly now, the crowd is chilled

Clearly now, the crowd is chilled Searching for the bother in place unfilled

Clearly now, the crowd is chilled Searching for the bother in place unfilled Vexation grows as she's yet ignored.

Clearly now, the crowd is chilled Searching for the bother in place unfilled Vexation grows as she's yet ignored. "She's right there!" Her terror roared.

For there she was, in the middle aisle

For there she was, in the middle aisle With a haunted gaze she could not describe

For there she was, in the middle aisle With a haunted gaze she could not describe Tears had formed from growing pain

For there she was, in the middle aisle With a haunted gaze she could not describe Tears had formed from growing pain "There," she gestured yet again.

Few shook their heads with incredulity

Few shook their heads with incredulity Rumors of "crazy" flew accusingly

Few shook their heads with incredulity Rumors of "crazy" flew accusingly None but she could see her there

Few shook their heads with incredulity Rumors of "crazy" flew accusingly None but she could see her there Instead to she, the crowd turned their stare.

Her head whipped around with pleading eyes

Her head whipped around with pleading eyes Still begging belief, she continued to antagonize

Her head whipped around with pleading eyes Still begging belief, she continued to antagonize As if on a string, her broken neck lifted

Her head whipped around with pleading eyes Still begging belief, she continued to antagonize As if on a string, her broken neck lifted Her lips twisted up in a heinous grin

Slowly now, her legs start to move

Slowly now, her legs start to move Each stomp of her feet is heavy and cruel

Slowly now, her legs start to move Each stomp of her feet is heavy and cruel Her hands reach out towards her,

Slowly now, her legs start to move Each stomp of her feet is heavy and cruel Her hands reach out towards her, claws dripping blood

Slowly now, her legs start to move Each stomp of her feet is heavy and cruel Her hands reach out towards her, claws dripping blood The sickening sight made her green, as she trudged

"Don't you see her?" came another plea

"Don't you see her?" came another plea Her heart continued to pound wildly

"Don't you see her?" came another plea Her heart continued to pound wildly Feet crept further forward, nearer to the screams

"Don't you see her?" came another plea Her heart continued to pound wildly Feet crept further forward, nearer to the screams And tears poured down her face in streams

"My friends, dear fate has left you blind!

"My friends, dear fate has left you blind! Ghostly pale, she towers over,

"My friends, dear fate has left you blind! Ghostly pale, she towers over, creeping towards you from behind!"

"My friends, dear fate has left you blind! Ghostly pale, she towers over, creeping towards you from behind!" "Why can't they see... why me? Why me!"

"My friends, dear fate has left you blind! Ghostly pale, she towers over, creeping towards you from behind!" "Why can't they see... why me? Why me!" Her eerie screams "Why am I to blame?"

All at once, her words had faltered

All at once, her words had faltered She stumbled backwards, crashed to the altar

All at once, her words had faltered She stumbled backwards, crashed to the altar Mournful little wilting flowers

All at once, her words had faltered She stumbled backwards, crashed to the altar Mournful little wilting flowers fell back from her broken rage

All at once, her words had faltered She stumbled backwards, crashed to the altar Mournful little wilting flowers fell back from her broken rage Trembling fingers failed to find

All at once, her words had faltered She stumbled backwards, crashed to the altar Mournful little wilting flowers fell back from her broken rage Trembling fingers failed to find a firm hold on the stage

Her lungs constricted, tears burned her eyes

Her lungs constricted, tears burned her eyes Bile in her throat was on the rise

Her lungs constricted, tears burned her eyes Bile in her throat was on the rise The blurry specter who stumbled closer

Her lungs constricted, tears burned her eyes Bile in her throat was on the rise The blurry specter who stumbled closer Soon her ragged breaths grew lower

And suddenly she disappeared

And suddenly she disappeared Her dragging feet could not be heard

And suddenly she disappeared Her dragging feet could not be heard Yet just as she almost let out a breath

And suddenly she disappeared Her dragging feet could not be heard Yet just as she almost let out a breath The evil hanging in her face,

And suddenly she disappeared Her dragging feet could not be heard Yet just as she almost let out a breath The evil hanging in her face, stopped her heart dead

Bloodshot veins crept through her face

Bloodshot veins crept through her face A decrepit smile stood fixed in place

Bloodshot veins crept through her face A decrepit smile stood fixed in place Her bloodied nails teased,

Bloodshot veins crept through her face A decrepit smile stood fixed in place Her bloodied nails teased, dragged slowly down her neck

Bloodshot veins crept through her face A decrepit smile stood fixed in place Her bloodied nails teased, dragged slowly down her neck And pierced her heart,

Ripped it from her pounding chest
