Don't Fall Asleep (Horror Pt. II) Lyrics

Don't fall asleep
To the weeping of the birds
Don't fall asleep
In this room of the fallen

Don't fall asleep
To the breathing of the walls
Don't fall asleep
In this room of loss
Don't fall asleep
In the arms of dead air
Don't fall asleep
In this symphony of the damned

"Time stands still in this chamber of pain
The clock stops and the horror comes
The children cry and weep
In this room of the unforgiven
Lie down because you'll never leave
Lie down, but don't fall asleep"

The signs show slowly with the dark
They glow brighter as the shadows grow deeper

Blood marks on the walls and the ceiling and on the floor and the doors, oh how they flow!

Little voices like the whining of the birds

As the closet door opens

I still can hear them screaming
And the shape... Is it me on the piano?

Playing the symphony of the damned

Awesome song and I guess it's about being trapped in a room where something terrible happened.

If I stay too quiet I can hear her walking by Death cold air is moving Like the touch of her hand

Respect dying, towards our eyes Earth dies, flowers dead Silent whispers slowly flow The silence from beyond

You'll come with me my precious light You stalk me through the shadows Just swallow the dark

You'll come with me my precious light You stalk me through the shadows Just swallow the dark

I've fought to take you back Cause my day is still burning

My scream is flowing through hands But your flesh igniting

I'm taking you down to the hole Bring on the scum for the flames

You'll come with me my precious light You stalk me through the shadows Just swallow the dark

You'll come with me my precious light You stalk me through the shadows Just swallow the dark

If I stay too quiet I can hear her walking by

Thats horror Pt. I This seems to be about the ghost of a woman haunting a man. Whether he was the cause of her death its unsure here.

Don't fall asleep To the weeping of the birds Don't fall asleep In this room of the fallen

Don't fall asleep To the breathing of the walls Don't fall asleep In this room of loss Don't fall asleep In the arms of dead air Don't fall asleep In this symphony of the damned

"Time stands still in this chamber of pain The clock stops and the horror comes The children cry and weep In this room of the unforgiven Lie down because you'll never leave Lie down, but don't fall asleep"

The signs show slowly with the dark They glow brighter as the shadows grow deeper

That is Horror Pt. II This seems to be about the place where she died. Seems he is trapped there.

Father, why did you drown me here? In these waters And father, why did you leave me here? In deep waters Father, it's getting darker here as the years pass And father, I'm the whispers on the lake Lights on water

My child, I carry the burden of sorrow with your soul The songs you gently sing to me But the love was never stronger than the grief of your unholy price

I curse you forever in your watery grave, you passenger of evil For taking her away from me The blood of your arrival, cutting knives and shadows A ceremony of pain Through living flesh to the dead, both in my bloody hands But only one cried

In blazing fury I carried you through the woods While the trees tried to stop me in horror Your cry echoed on the lake as I laid you down on the boat

The tears made circles on the still, the circles made the waves The waves raised the tide and made rain fall Raised the lights on the lake

Through the mist, further on the lake In the eye of still water Into the deepest pit you silently fell Slowly in the throat of dark water

This is Horror Pt. III This gives the details of what happened
