Don't Say a Word Lyrics

I am your poison candygram,
the love that's ment to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day...

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
Time to walk with me the last mile...

I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why...
Could I let you wait out the night?

[CHORUS:]
Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest,
The path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray...

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why...
Settling the score, we pass the twilight...

[CHORUS:]
Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold
on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes,
it doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer,
I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now,
The part "ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

Short is the flight of this little starling
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while it's still here,
And see how the fear of death becomes her

We had it all so sweet
Made for me, you, indeed...
Big secret, small the lie
Don't cry for me, oh, argentite

No word you say tonight
Can make this be alright
I'll help you follow through
Remember this?: Pacta sunt servanda

... The wounds are too deep,
I need to keep the scars
To prove there was a time
When I loved something more than life

Unlike the last time here,
I now have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God...

[SOLOS]

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives...

[CHORUS:]
Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say...

[CHORUS:]
Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... Don't Say A Word!

Yeah, Mike has teh right of it, I was going by titles. It goes Caleb, the End of this Chapter, then Don't Say a Word. Caleb can be tied in by "Mother always said my son, do the noble thing." And in Caleb it talks about the whole relationship with his parents and how he was raised to become the Insane stalker/killer in the trillogy of musica.

the whole thing starts off as the song caleb, a young boy with a hard life, showing how he had grown up difficultly. he had an abusive father and a bad influencial mother. then in the song end of this chapter he is married to a girl and then she sends him off to jail for violence or something, then she gets a new relationship with a better guy. she was th only thing that had kept caleb alive, so he stalks her to get her back, she really doesn't want to so he does everything he can to get her back. he is frustrated because he isn't getting through life easily. he knows he needs this chick, but she says no. he wishes death for either him or her. now in don't say a word, he is thinking how bad she was to him and unright, so he thinks, she made the vow, she made promise to him, and broke it, so the only he feels he can do is promise her death which will follow through that night (And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives..) (I won't die before you You read the book now, The part "ashes to ashes, dust to dust") (And see how the fear of death becomes her) (Settling the score, we pass the twilight... )

it does kind of follow on The End of This Chapter

. this guy is madley in love with a woman, but then the man leaves his gf for a while, then when he comes back to her, shes cheating on him. so he does what he thinks is 'right' and kills her.

gotta love that happy ending, lol. seriously though its really twisted how the chorus talks about doing what is Noble, right n' Moral then he goes on and kills the bitch.

@superbeast86 I don't think she cheated on him. If you listen or read the lyrics of The End of This Chapter, you'll know that they broke up before this new guy stepped in the picture. And it's not like they had much choice either: "The promise they made / I should keep / To make sure that we will never meet".

You have to remember that the son of Caleb, whatever his name is, had became an unstable criminal because he was abused as a child by Caleb. Lyrics of Caleb: "Flowers and people he now will enlace / Serving...

It wont fade and the dana songs have nothing to do with this. it wont fade is the obligatory wolf song for unia.

Love it, love it, as usual...

This reminded me of Othello by Shakespeare, the fact he lights a candle before killing her and when he says he promises the end before light arrives.

There are parts I do not understand, but I'm sure its about a husband killing his wife as he believes she has been unfaithful.

Dood! This reminds me of Othello too.

This is the sequal to The End of this Chapter so it (obviously) just follows on from that.
