[Verse]
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well...
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall...
Too blind to see the writing on the wall...

[Chorus]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then
(It will burn inside of me)
It will burn inside of me...
Live to tell...

[Verse]
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once or twice
I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines, it shines, it shines inside
You can't take that from me
It shines inside, you can't take that from me

[Chorus]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then
(It will burn inside of me)
It will burn inside of me...
Live to tell...

[Post-Chorus]
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then (well...), will I
Ever have the chance again

[Bridge]
If I ran away
I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear
The beating of my heart?...
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide?
Will I grow old?
How will they hear?
When will they learn?
How will they know?

[Chorus/Post-Chorus]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
Till then
(It will burn inside of me)
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then (well...), will I
Ever have the chance again...

[Outro]
Live to tell...
Live to tell...
Live to tell...
Live to tell...

Lacuna Coil

Lacuna Coil, briefly known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal, are a symphonic/ gothic/ melodic metal band formed in Milan, Italy. They usually count their existence as a band from 1998, when they adopted their present name on signing with Century Media and began to record their debut full-length album, In A Reverie, with four of the six members of what was to become their most long-term core line-up, lead vocalists Andrea Ferro and Cristina Scabbia, composer/bass guitarist and sometime keyboard player Marco “Maki” Coti Zelati, drummer/percussionist Cristiano “CriZ” Mozzati, and guitarists Cristiano “Pizza” Migliore and soon-to-be-added second guitarist Marco “Maus” Biazzi.

Early members who performed with them under previous names and/or recorded with them on the Lacuna Coil EP, released in the early months of 1998, included the late Claudio Leo (also of Cayne, who died in 2013, and to whose memory the song One Cold Day was later dedicated), Raffaele Zagaria, Leonardo Forti and Michelangelo Algardi.

Probably Italy’s best-known modern-day musical export, they bore a huge part in pioneering and popularising the melodic metal blend of “beauty and the beast” style vocals with their male and female lead singers, were the first female-fronted or co-fronted band to be asked to play the main stage at Ozzfest in 2006, and have enjoyed sustained success across both Europe and the United States for well over a decade.
