Tryst of the Cockatrice

[Verse] Eyes of the beast rot you to stone Under its lights, chills to the bone Center of the ring, your soul he'll keep In his gaze where shadows creep [Verse 2] Twisting tales of fear we bend In the light where dreams suspend Heartbeats quick in the cold moonlight Must move through the thick of night [Chorus] Break your gaze, hold tight your dream Eyes locked in the glowing beam Heart racing, can't turn away In this trance you'll forever stay [Bridge] Smoke and mirrors, his sight rebounds Whispers haunt where we are found In the ring he's the only king Feel the terror from his stony sting [Verse 3] Eyes of fire dance so bright Tethered souls drawn in the fight Lose yourself to the pull inside In his power you cannot hide [Chorus] Break your gaze, hold tight your dream Eyes locked in the glowing beam Heart racing, can't turn away In this trance, you'll forever stay
