[From the Dark, Tim Givan, Caleb Hyles, Phil Johnson - The Tell-Tale Heart lyrics]

I've been waiting for the night to show
I've been waiting for it all the moon
Must fall
Moon must
Fall with my lantern he will surely know
Know I'm waiting at his door it falls
It falls

Pestilence the virus of madness
Haunting me he cried in the dark
Lay below he could not find peace there
Death had come his shadow so stark

A single ray of light
It shined upon the eye so evil
Too scared to take flight
We balked waiting on a move

If only you had seen how clever i had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark

As the light escaped from the lantern
On his eyes fixed deep in my head
Saw my chance I sprung on my victim
Heart alive i toppled the bed

Gasping breath
The heart
Stopped beating
I can't
Hear a
Knocking now

If only you had seen how clever i had been
Assassin from the dark
If only you had felt the terror he felt then
Waiting on my mark my mark
My mark


A knock on the door three men in all
The man’s in the floor he took the fall

They’d never know i was too clever
They’d never know i lead to the floor

A thump from the floor the man was alive
More loud than before i know they hear it

I killed the man that lives here
I killed him this very night
The Tell Tale Heart is still beating
Just end this wicked night
