The Marionette's Requiem Lyrics

In the chambers of the night

Where shadows dance without the light

A marionette with strings so tight

Pulls the darkness into sight

Her eyes, they gleam with borrowed sorrow

A heart that doesn't beat, hollow

Through the ages, she's been cursed

To perform until the world is versed

Oh, dance, my doll of midnight lore

In the silence, evermore

Strings of fate, they bind and bore

Dance the dance forevermore

The crowd, a sea of pale despair

Gazes on with vacant stare

Her movements, fluid, dark, and rare

A ballet of the macabre air

Beneath her painted, porcelain skin

Lies a tale of where she's been

A puppet queen in a world so thin

Where life and death begin to blend

In the void where whispers scream

She finds her solace, her dream

A requiem for the soulless gleam

A dance where darkness reigns supreme

Oh, dance, my doll of midnight lore

In the silence, evermore

Strings of fate, they bind and bore

Dance the dance forevermore

Now the curtain falls, her final bow

The stage is empty, time to go

But in the hearts of those below,Her dance will echo, ever slow

Her strings are cut, yet still she twirls

In the ether, where darkness swirls

A ghost, a whisper, a faint unfurl

Of a marionette's eternal world.
