I want to cut you and hear the hiss of your breath as you indulge the pain.

I want to lick the wounds on your back and hear you scream.

I want to beat the animal within you, and drive you insane.

I want to claw the defiance from you and replace it with my own dream.

I want to break you and watch you crawl to me.

I want to eat the life as it pours from your wounded flesh.

I want to birth in you the same greed.

I want to have you and our glory refresh.

Its raining today, again. The sky is black as it is just before sunrise, except now, the sky shields bright sun behind its cloak of dark instead of pale moon. Rain, thunder it makes no difference to me, my black clouds linger in defiance of sunny skies and warm days, the sky now simply mirrors the tenebrous thoughts in my mind.

I have been tempted.

Storms rage, yet calm is the breeze that violates my skin with its unwelcome caress.

“No one holds command over me.
No man. No god. No prince.
What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal?
What is a claim of power for ones who defy death?
Call your damnable hunt.
We shall see who I drag screaming to hell with me.”

I feel neither joy nor pain,
My wounds anointed by the rain.
I’m cursed by my disease,
The air is heavy, I cannot breathe.

Blood dripping from my hands,
Never ceasing its demand,
The light is hidden from my sight,
Night is a raven taking flight.

The black flows through my veins,
Ever-present is her stain,
My vision it is never clear to me,
Evanescent is her touch, my memory, my sanity.

I’ve seen you hanging round
This darkness where I’m bound
And this black hole I’ve dug for me
And silently within
With hands touching skin
The shock breaks my disease
And I can breathe

[Chorus]
And all of your weight
All you dream
Falls on me it falls on me
And your beautiful sky
The light you bring
Falls on me it falls on me

Your faith like the pain
Draws me in again
She washes all my wounds for me
The darkness in my veins
I never could explain
And I wonder if you ever see
Will you still believe?

[Chorus]

Am I that strong
To carry on?
I might change your life
I might save my world
Could you save me?

[Chorus X 2]
