lyrics

In the darkest room
the blood and tears of doom
are stained into these four familiar walls
And they run onto the floor
where a black rose blooms
"She loves you not," the last petal says as it falls
(the last petal says as it falls)

I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night
Yeah, I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night

The silence froze my eyes
I'd lay awake all night
Much the same as every broken story goes
A boy became a man
who was too afraid to stand
and on his knees he sang of solitude because he was all alone
(he was all alone all along)

I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night
Yeah, I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night

In the end it's just a cold, dark song
but every body in the graveyard is singing along
Yeah, in the end it's just a cold, dark song
so won't you sing with me this midnight, dead man's song?

Now demons never die
if you keep them trapped inside
Your heart and mind decay until your fearless spirit dies
But sing and fight and bleed
until the haunts have all been freed
into the light of day, they'll fade before your jaded eyes
(what better way to spend your demise)

I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night
Yeah, I still feel it sometimes
when the pale moonlight
shines through my window at night

In the end it's just a cold, dark song
but every body in the graveyard is singing along
Yeah, in the end it's just a cold, dark song
so won't you sing with me this midnight, dead man's song?
so won't you sing with me this midnight, dead man's song?
so won't you sing with me this midnight, dead man's song?
so won't you sing with me this midnight, dead man's song?
Won't you sing with me tonight?
The dead man's song
