Knifes316 - Mine to Keep Lyrics

Welcome, my dear, to the stage of despair
Where dreams fade, and nightmares flare

Step into my shadowed lair
Where dreams unravel, hearts ensnare
You came to fight, to take a stand
But now your power's in my hand

You thought you could win
You thought you could take it back
How quaint... but this is my world now

Tick-tock, the clock won't chime
Your fleeting strength, now it's mine
The night is endless, can't you see
This stage belongs to me

You want your powers back
(Laughs) No, they are mine

Bound in the web of my dark design
Cry out in defiance, it's all in vain
Your hope dissolves like a fleeting refrain

What did you think
You could fight the inevitable
How foolish

Hear the laughter, soft and cold
The kind that whispers, tales untold
You thought you'd shine, a morning star
But now you'll see how dreams can scar

You've played your part... now face your fate
There's no escape

Tick-tock, your time's run dry
A queen of nightmares never dies
This play is set, the script is done
You'll bow before the rising sun

You want your powers back
(Laughs cruelly) No, they are mine

Bound in the web of my dark design.
Cry out in defiance, it's all in vain,
Your hope dissolves like a fleeting refrain.

I'll twist your thoughts, your mind, your will
You'll see your nightmares, and they'll be real
Can you feel it? The cold? The fear
This is where you disappear

I'll weave your fears into the night
Twist your will, dim your light
The crowd will cheer as you fade away
A pawn discarded in my play

You want your powers back
(Laughs) No, they are mine

The stage is set, the end divine
The curtain falls, the victor's clear
The queen of nightmares rules in fear

Tick-tock... Your time's long gone
I reign eternal, darkness drawn
Applause erupts... your final defeat
Welcome to your endless sleep

Tick-tock... Your time's long gone
I reign eternal, darkness drawn
Applause erupts... your final defeat
Welcome to your endless sleep
