In lonely halls where shadows dwell
I wandered lost within my shell
Egaeus is the name I bear
A mind consumed by thoughts austere
Oh Berenice radiant light
You danced upon the edge of night
Your smile it haunts my every dream
A specter on a moonlit stream
You bloomed with grace a beauty rare
But illness stole your vibrant flare
From joyous heart to silent gaze
You faded in a somber haze
Oh Berenice fading fast
A shadow of your glorious past
Your eyes grew dim your voice so weak
Yet in your smile what do I seek?
An obsession grips my weary mind
Fixation of a cruel design
Your teeth so bright a pure allure
A thought I cannot long endure
They laid you in the silent ground
The echoes of your name resound
But sleepless nights led me astray
To steal the teeth that paved my way
Oh Berenice what have I done?
Chased shadows thinking you were gone
The bloody proof within my hands
A horror no one understands
Awakened from this dreadful trance
Amidst the darkness of circumstance
They tell me you still live though torn
And I am lost forever mourned
