The Malice Lyrics by Arcane (AUS)

Chronicles of the Waking Dream

2009

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tell me, what can you see when
When you look over there
By the cross on the wall and
By the winding stair

Adrift in the malice
Creeps closer again
A mirror hangs off, I
I can't help but look through, and look

Look back, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
He asks me, "What do you see when
When you look in my eyes?
In the empty holes, floating
Paralyzed

See the cross on the wall
Hear them chained as they cry
Now you remember me
Look in my eyes"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
She asks me, "What do you see when
When you look over there
By the face in the hall and
By the bodies laid bare

Now can you see
As you sit and you stare
They're coming for you now
Up the winding stair"

Stair

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
One for two up winding stair, invited second wave
This tumbling two, this wicked pair make cowards of the brave
Driven by desire to inflict pain that never diminishes
These tortured, twisted victims of a song that never finishes

[Coda]
One for two up winding stair (that never finishes)
One for two up winding stair (that never finishes)
These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (One for two up [Yeah!])
These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (winding stair [Yeah!])
These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (One for two up [Yeah!])
These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (winding stair [Yeah, that never finishes!])

[Outro]
I'll tell you what I can see when
When I meet the cold stare, yeah
On the face in the hall, one
One that's not yours to wear

A weak little creature
Pathetic disgrace
Twisting the image
How dare you use his face?

I'll tell you what I can see!
