Story behind the song
Based On The Tall Tale Heart
Lyrics
The eye that stares, it burns my soul,
A wicked gaze, out of control.
The clock ticks loud, the silence screams,
This ain't a taleit's a nightmare dream.
*(Verse 1)*
That vultures eye, it cuts through my head,
Every glare it gives makes me wish I was dead.
Its not hateits the sound of despair,
That gaze pins me down, like a shadowy snare.
For nights I crept, with a lantern in hand,
A silent predator in a cursed land.
I watched him sleep, so calm, so frail,
But that eye, oh, that eye made my sanity pale.
*(Chorus)*
Boom, boom, the heartbeat grows,
In the walls, in my mind, where the madness flows.
Boom, boom, it won't let me be,
This tale of terror ends with me.
*(Verse 2)*
The eighth night comes, the deed is near,
I creep in the dark, overcome by fear.
But the eyeits open, staring me down,
A vortex of horror, dragging me to drown.
I strike with fury, I silence the beast,
My heart races wild as I finish the feast.
I bury the body, so clever, so clean,
No one will know where the old man has been.
*(Chorus)*
Boom, boom, the heartbeat grows,
In the walls, in my mind, where the madness flows.
Boom, boom, it won't let me be,
This tale of terror ends with me.
*(Bridge)*
The cops arrive, they smile, they talk,
I lead them through, confident in my walk.
But that soundthat soundit pounds in my chest,
A relentless rhythm, denying me rest.
It grows and it grows, I cant take the noise,
A spectral drumbeat that destroys and destroys.
I scream, "Its here! Beneath the floor!"
I rip up the planks, I cant take anymore.
*(Outro)*
Boom, boom, the heartbeats mine,
A symphony of guilt, my twisted crime.
The eye is gone, but the pulse remains,
A tale of madness, etched in my veins.
*(Echoing fade-out)*
Boom, boom, it won't let me go...
The heartbeat of terror forever flows.
