Run Before The Bleeding

Midnight silk and a crimson bedHeavy velvet crown upon my headI closed my eyes to the castle's humBut in the shadows, she had comeRed eyes burning through the static mistA silver blade held in her fistShe whispered malice, cold and deepReaching through the walls of sleep.(Pre-Chorus)I snapped awake, the static screamedThe spirit box possessed my dreamsMy ancestors' voices, frantic and thinChannelling through the noise within:"Run, sweet child, you are in grave danger,That is no phantom, that is no stranger!It’s Elara—the ancient, the curse of our line,The deadliest blood of all immortal time!"(Chorus)She said, "Leave your King or meet your endI am no rival, I am no friendShatter his heart or watch yours bleedI'll drain the life of your immortal breed"Elara's shadow inside my mindLeaving all my peace behind!(Verse 2)Pacing the floor, my pulse in a raceThe static still echoing in this placeI turned to him, my newly devoted KingAnd told him of the nightmare’s sting"The box has spoken, the bloodline is clear,Elara has found us, she’s coming here!"His golden eyes turned dark as nightHe pulled me close, he held me tight.(Chorus)She said, "Leave your King or meet your endI am no rival, I am no friendShatter his heart or watch yours bleedI'll drain the life of your immortal breed"Elara's shadow inside my mindLeaving all my peace behind!(Bridge)He kissed my forehead, steady and grave"This is a storm we cannot brave alone, my love, she is too strongTo the ancient crypts where we belong!We must run to the mountain highWhere the oldest of our kind resideMy mother, my father, the council of oldBefore this prophecy can unfold!"(Guitar Solo - Fast, Aggressive, Frantic Goth Rock)(Chorus)She said, "Leave your King or meet your end"But we have ancient blood to defend!Shatter his heart? No, we will fightSummon the elders into the night!Elara's shadow inside my mindBut we’ll leave her ashes far behind!(Outro)The static is screaming!The elders will know!Elara is coming!Into the dark we go!Run! Run! Run!Before the rise of the sun!
