Descend from the spiral staircase with fair elegance
Oh you delicate spider, soon work will finish with ease
Reach into lost memories seeking warmth;
Connect the hemorrhaging hearts, hurry!
A soft decadent lullaby cooing the creatures into permanent winks

The shackled banshee strangles on pearls
How constrictive the beads fasten against the vein
Unpleasant anguish, centuries of laments filling the castle's halls
Transient guests instilled with foreboding
Tremble with a delight of fears and horrors
Or escape before the wings are clipped
You must accompany the lost souls whose tastes have expired
Come now, the show must go on. With a key and a ludicrous fascination,
The malevolent apparition spins the detailed cobwebs
And invites you to dinner with the silent rodent.
