Shadows Fall Prologue Lyrics

Prologue Lyrics

Tucked in the woods

Near North Chicago

Early November

Commences our saga

Two loved in silence

For fear of corruption

Then fate chimed in

With an evil grin and a mighty interruption



She awoke in a panic

The TV in static

She heard a voice

In the attic



Crouched behind her door

With a Swiss Army knife

She cried in silence

Fearing for her life



Protecting herself

She stabbed the intruder

The lights turned on

Her knife impaled her suitor



She'd committed a murder

While he laid there bleeding

She stared, clearly scared

Checked her boyfriend's heart for beating



It's not right

The lights get dim

And all she thinks of is him



She cried through the morning

As she read the paper

Her father told police

The boy broke in to rape her



She ran to the bathroom

Enraged and pissed

Grabbed a razor

And tic-tac-toed her wrist



She'd committed a murder

And while she laid there bleeding

She stared, clearly scared

Checked her final pulse for beating



It's not right

The lights get dim

And all she thinks of is him
