Silent dance with death.
Everything is lost.
Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
The blink of an eye, you know it's me.
You keep the dagger close at hand.
And you saw nothing.
False love turned to pure hate.
The wind cried a lamentation,
before merging with the grey.
Demon of the fall.
Gasping for another breath.
She rose, screaming at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall.
I shan't resist.
In tears for all of eternity.
She turned around and faced me for the first time.
Run away, run away.
Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.
And she had lost in me, her credence.
Everything is lost.
Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
The blink of an eye, you know it's me.
You keep the dagger close at hand.
And you saw nothing.
False love turned to pure hate.
The wind cried a lamentation,
before merging with the grey.
Demon of the fall.
Gasping for another breath.
She rose, screaming at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall.
I shan't resist.
In tears for all of eternity.
She turned around and faced me for the first time.
Run away, run away.
Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
That day came to an end.
And she had lost in me, her credence.

easily one of the best bands ever, but not as good as Dream Theater :P
She rose, screaming at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging

that is to say, the Demon hasn't seen her completely but already had a glimpse of her through the wall, and smelled her seductiveness.
"Run away Run away", is sung by clean vocals, but makes no difference, it's still the Demon's thoughts. The Demon was thinking, "You can run away, but I'll still catch ya."
"CREDENCE" is but the credence of her virginity. She didn't die.
That's just my understanding, and I found it to make a lot of sense too.
For me the part "Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall." is him finally starting to take physical form as the Demon Of the Fall. She then "turned around and faced me for the first time." This is when she sees him for the first time as the Demon. But for a split second he is still the man he once was & not corrupted by the Demon he has become and then tells her to "Run away, Run away!" because he can't fight what he has become much longer and will kill her to take her back to the land of souls. I still cant decide if he kills her or if she runs away, leaving him behind, forced to walk the earth alone for eternity as the Demon Of the Fall because he can not move on.
But who really knows? Only Mikael. These are just my thoughts.
"False love turned to pure hate" could also describe how the ghost finds his lover with another man and he becomes very angry, then merges with the gray.
And that riff after the beautiful last verse is just stunning.
