House of Nevermore

Cornerstone


There was a time when I knew we'd be lonely 
No last kiss then we had to move away 
We had our chance and we burned in the starlight 
Then our song was carried on the wind 

I can still remember, I can still see your face from before 
Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore 

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
With your eyes as black as a moonless night 
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
You carried my cross and I let you down 
Let you down 
Let you down 

There was a time when I called you my lover 
That time has passsed and I won't see you anymore 
I keep the pain of the night far behind me 
Another road to the House of Nevermore 

I still remember the curse and the sting of your kiss 
Don't cry for mercy, you know that's one thing I'l never give 
I will never giver 

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
With your eyes as black as a moonless night 
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
Nail me to your cross and let me cry 

Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore 

Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
With your eyes as black as a moonless night 
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me 
You carried my cross and I let you down 
I let you down 
Let you down 

If I take the road to the House of Nevermore 
Who will be waiting to open up the door 
I fall asleep in the House of Nevermore 
If I should wake, will I find the door?
