late last summer i had planned to meet love
and walked with murder on the way
she wore a mask so beauttiful
and bore a heart of castle grey

all along i thought i knew
i loved her so deeply and so true
walking in the light of of my own red moon
knowing well my own end and knowing it to come to soon
and yet i loved her with a fools boone  

how very smooth her features where yet grim
as two faces it seemed she wore
and many bloodhounds followed them
and one by one and two by two
from behind my back and from the deepest depths of darkness she drew
and tossed them parts of my human heart to chew

and yet all along i loved her
even though i knew
that one by one and two by two
pieces of my heart the lies would consume
i gave until the day i died

five pieces for one....
and one piece for five
i gave myself to keep miss murder alive

oh how foolish thease notions where
though i loved her then
its now all a blur
if talking to myself back then now i know i must concur

for it would have been better to had loved
then lost my soul to the devil
which today i serve
then to for just one secound to give my heart again to her

if all the lessons could be tought
which i carry now in my chests empty purse
I give them all to you in just one last verse

though i gave my heart for a love
i thought few could have attained
I find it today has left me
so broken damned and drained
if nothing else you learn from my mistake
then take this with you befor you wake
the price of true love is everything
and compared to that miss murders love
is way to high a stake
i know the path dont walk the road
you'll find all thats left a whole
never bet the devil your head
in its place he steals your soul
