Faces on the Walls

[Intro]
Terror shows itself in the night, faces on the wall
Carved in the silence, the faces they call.

[Verse 1]
Late at night when the candles flicker,
I catch a glimpse of a figure, growing thicker.
Painted eyes stare into my soul,
Each telling a story, each seeking control.

[Pre-Chorus]
They float like ghosts, behind cracked plaster,
Eyes following me, I move faster.
Every secret held in their silent gaze,
Haunted eyes watch in this twisted maze.

[Chorus]
Faces on the walls, shadows in the light,
The devil's serenade, calling me tonight.
Whispering promises wrapped in deceit,
Will I heed their warning, or welcome the heat?

[Bridge]
I reach for the faces, they reach back for me,
In this game of fate, who holds the key?
Through the painted corridors, I lose control,
But in this madness, I am void and null.

[Verse 2]
Each corner I turn, another face appears,
Angry stares, shooting through my fears.
Their laughter echoes, sweet yet grim,
A twisted lullaby, a wavering hymn.

[Pre-Chorus]
Time slips away under their watchful sighs,
Truth and illusion blur, a web of lies.
In the depths of the halls, I feel it more,
With every stare, my fate feels unsure.

[Chorus]
Faces on the walls, shadows in the light,
The devil's serenade, calling me tonight.
Whispering promises wrapped in deceit,
Offering restless souls, I’d rather not meet

[Outro]
So here I stand, embraced by the night,
The faces keep fighting, they soar to new heights.
The devil has called, he’s got a grip, a hold
As I run into darkness, I can only feel the cold.
