This song was written with the intention of having Evanescence produce it, so just keep that in mind when you read it:
NIGHTMARE PRINCESS
These tears I shed, so angry I’m weeping
This hurt is bled from my cold heart bleeding
My world is black and white dread
Running rivers of warm warm red
Destined to rest with life bereft
I may only rest in peace when I rest in death
I learn to survive by hatred of love
Because those I hold close
Are ripped away by his cold hands
Now I love no one so I lose no one
Born cold
Haunted by his ashes of old
Limited life
With a curse that kills inside
Bitterly a bitter me
Bitter end will set me free
Damned of bloodline damned in life
Wickedly sentenced malignance no penance
It’s too dark to see, I need light
Nightmare Princess
A hateful soul of so long ago
Imprisons me in his twisted dreams so
Trying forever to make me die forever
Forfeit my blood’s future to save my blood’s past
From his forever, forever
Can’t wake from a nightmare when I’m not sleeping
He hunts for my soul until the night he keeps me
I bear a life of shameful pain
May this nightmare princess never love again
Damned of bloodline damned in life
Wickedly sentenced malignance no penance
It’s too dark to see, I need light
Nightmare Princess
Have no one to lose
So I’ve nothing to lose
I’ll do what I choose
My death can be used
To end your reign of pain
When I turn on him in turn
When I rip from me my curse
My hatred inside wakes
And it all ends for violence’s sake
You – solumn as my hated undead yet alive like me
Alive with me
Who shows me, blinded by fate, the hope to finally see
You – coming on like a curse
into my heart it hurts
how could you be the one, my lost prayers to come
the victim of my love?
Set your anger upon them in bloody handed poetry
The end unto them opens forsaken doors in you and me
This place of hatred which surrounds me
My unkilling death unbounds me
He ruined my life so I took his own
Now he’s cursed away
And I’ve fallen in your arms alone
For you a thirst that drains me
From deeper than my nightmare curse
One more secret I hold away remiss
I impart in the quiet cry of my kiss
And now you know my secret
No longer will I keep it
I know you have one too you hide
So tell me too or stay dead inside
Damn my bloodline I’m cursed back to life
Where now my innocence, in the dark I see your light
But am I too dark for your light? Kill my dark with your light
Nightmare Princess
