A tower of iniquity Where there's no solace Her bastion of grief Terrible secrets she must keep Above the waking world The curse never sleeps A shameful lady keeping watch Over the sinful and the lost Captive of the nightmare Minion of the dream Favor a baneful reckoning Sympathy they both share Somewhere in-between Maybe a distant memory A home beyond reality She has one purpose Tending to graves unseen Wretched souls she must entreat To cleanse the waking world A shadow of the fair lady Oh, blessed be her love for thee Chained to a place; designed for grace A beckoning curiosity Will liberate and seal your fate Do gods care for their creations Why do humans fashion dolls Will there ever be salvation Can a malefactor be absolved Pale imitation of flesh and bone A corpse should be left well alone
