All Along the Crooked Way

Underneath the darkened sky, all along the crooked way
the same story once again, of sorrow and of pain
one fool in a dream, one black-hearted queen
a tale of unrequited love, that's written in tears, written in blood

she smiles, he cries
he begs, but she denies
as tonight becomes tomorrow, all joy will turn to sorrow

this is the tale of a succubus, a tale of love, pain and lust
a cheated heart and a broken trust
and death, and death

ashes to ashes, dust to dust
where there's love, there is lust
where there's a boy to give his heart
there's a woman to tear it apart

where there's giving, there's taking
there's faking, and there's breaking
where there's trust deceit's right there
the dream becomes the nightmare

to despair she'll take him
a shadow she'll make him
before him, the open grave
on his wrist, the razorblade

young man, hang your head and cry
it's time to suffer, it's time to die
abandon you the dreams of youth, abandon love, hope and truth

she will crush you, she'll excite you
she'll destroy you, she'll ignite you
she'll rake you to a world of darkness
and death, and death

on a night of dread and wonder
hear her heartbeat turn to thunder
she'll take you to a world of darkness
and death
