The Rake's Lament

Lyrics

[Verse]
In the shadows there he hides
Grayish skin and nightmare strides
Claws so sharp they'll tear your dreams
In the night you hush your screams

[Verse 2]
Silence falls you hear the brush
Of his steps that break the hush
In the moonlight eyes so stark
He's the terror of the dark

[Chorus]
Run run but you can't escape
From the clutches of The Rake
Pray pray before it's too late
Once he's seen you seal your fate

[Bridge]
In the forest shadows loom
He's the whisper in your room
Speed like wind he's on your trail
Feel the creeping sense of pale

[Verse 3]
Eyes that see through midnight's veil
Heartbeats counting every tale
He's the dread that stalks your sleep
Through your fears his claws will creep

[Chorus]
Run run but you can't escape
From the clutches of The Rake
Pray pray before it's too late
Once he's seen you seal your fate
