Ghost Lullabye

There is a castle in the forest once upon a moonlit time
Dusty servants in the doorway take your coat there for a dime
There are hallways full of statues and portraits of the past
Hear echoes of a tyrants work the sounds of killings last

Every wall and every mirror has a crime or two to tell
Once a family of fortune lived as heaven meeting hell
Greedy sisters, craving brothers, bastards of an evil Lord
That Devil met his savior-son that cut his lifetime short

Evil's spoken - It runs in the family
Silence broken - A stone falls into deep, into deep darkened seas
Damned is every man's intension, cursed is every woman's heart
Every bastard was a child right from the start

There's a castle in the forest, cats are howling from the roof
Hear the rat tap in the basement, they're the only living proof
Ghosts of mistresses in stockings that once strangled every man
That came across her catwalk to the throne she has at hand

Evil's spoken - It runs in the family
Silence broken - A stone falls into deep, into deep darkened seas
Damned is every man's intension, cursed is every woman's heart
Every bastard was a child right from the start
