Lyrics
0:12So far so long
0:14He took a light
0:18Twisted my arms I couldn't learn to fight
0:25The last known pupil with the teacher of the night
0:34Gave him my soul familiar price
0:40He knew I'd follow
0:42But I'm the fool too blind to realize
0:48That I'd been silenced by the teacher of the night
0:57I had to take his life
1:03My soul shown too bright
1:08She did what she thought to be right
1:14He took my voice had nothing left
1:20Gave me no choice
1:22I'd have to cheat to pass his unfair test
1:27Before I knew it I'd been taught to fear the light
1:36So I had to take his life
1:42My soul shown too bright
1:48She did what she thought to be right
1:53Before the daylight came
1:56I drowned his heart in shame
2:02I broke his arms and legs
2:05Now he's as good as dead
2:08But oh how he still begs
2:13To trade my soul for light
2:18If I bring him back to life
2:25But I should've known he'd lie
So far so long He took a light Twisted my arms I couldn't learn to fight The last known pupil with the teacher of the night Gave him my soul familiar price He knew I'd follow But I'm the fool too blind to realize That I'd been silenced by the teacher of the night I had to take his life My soul shown too bright She did what she thought to be right He took my voice had nothing left Gave me no choice I'd have to cheat to pass his unfair test Before I knew it I'd been taught to fear the light So I had to take his life My soul shown too bright She did what she thought to be right Before the daylight came I drowned his heart in shame I broke his arms and legs Now he's as good as dead But oh how he still begs To trade my soul for light If I bring him back to life But I should've known he'd lie
