The curtains of my opera

The gates of Hell in disguise

A secret play after midnight

On lights out past actors rise

The art of performing

The ghost keeps on calling lines out loud

To the missing crowd

He does it for arts sake

remembering his heart ache, his future bride

The day she died

Pain and sorrow forever more

The dark play still goes on today

Come on and join the dark play

O heavy day of dying

The potion of eternal rest

I can still see the bed where she's laying

Revenge now is all what is left

Try to hurt me

I'll make you burn

I will teach you

And you will learn

An eye for an eye

A tooth for a tooth

Your god won't listen

You belong to me now

I am dying

Still I'm dying

I've been dying for so long

Please take my hand

Bring me lies - I'll give you fire

Be untrue - the flames get higher

I'm the one you desire

Bring me nothing - I'll leave you be

Try to fool me - I'll set you free

I'm the one that you want me to be
