The Tell-Tale Heart Lyrics by From the Dark

The Opera Ghost

2012

[Intro]
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting for the night to show
I've been waiting for it all
The moon
Must
Fall
Moon
Must
Fall
With my lantern he will surely know
Know I'm waiting at his door
It falls
It falls
[Verse]
Pestilence
The virus of madness
Haunting me
He cried in the dark
Lay below
He could not find peace there
Death had come
His shadow so stark
A single ray of light
It shined upon the eye so evil
Too scared to take flight
We balked waiting on a move
[Chorus]
If only you had seen how clever i had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark
As the light
Escaped from the lantern
On his eyes
Fixed deep in my head
Saw my chance I sprung on my victim
Heart alive
I toppled the bed
[Bridge]
Gasping
Breath
The
Heart
Stopped
Beating
I
Can't
Hear
A
Knocking
Now
[Chorus]
If only you had seen how clever i had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark
My mark
My mark
[Solo]
[Interlude]
A knock on the door
Three men in all
The man’s in the floor
He took the fall
They’d never know
I was too clever
They’d never know
I lead to the floor
[Solo]
A thump from the floor
The man was alive
More loud than before
I know they hear it
I killed the man that lives here
I killed him this very night
The Tell-Tale Heart is still beating
Just end this wicked night
