Death for life

Does my heart portray the essence of shadows hold?

In a whisper lying to myself I fall apart,

only to grasp the very meaning of hate.

Lost am I to who I may have been,

evil surrounds me, light leaves my side.

Can you feel the crimson touch in my kiss?

If I stood before you, could you look into my eyes?

As everything lives, through me everything dies,

waiting for you to give in I will never leave your side.

In the idea of love my heart will always be true,

life has let you down, I am here for all time.

Do you still crave the death within my arms?

I have been known, do you want to know me?

I will hold you close in your misery and shame,

cry your last breath my touch awaits your fall.

Lasting darkness my embrace will hold you down,

find a way to enlighten the eyes of hate.

Am I what you see when you dream of heaven and hell?

Just a taste I will have you, can you feel me?

Inside of your heart my love will pull you to the grave,

living eternity in death no pain left to know.

Each moment I bear your name brings damnation divine,

twisting memories to fade away into my light.

Will you take my hand before I take your life away?
