Under blood ridden skies
Reflect my eyes
Full of pain
Under blood ridden skies
I close my eyes
To the pain

Sorrow will remain
And I'll cry lamentation
Anger seeps in every pore
Now I'm lost in devastation

Under blood ridden skies
Reflect my eyes
Full of pain
Under blood ridden skies
I close my eyes
To the pain

Now perished in my woe
Anguish has taken its toll
My entrails have been removed
Or that is how it feels to me

Under blood ridden skies
Reflect my eyes
Full of pain
Under blood ridden skies
I close my eyes
To the pain

I won't take heed
Refuse to believe
It's ludicrous
To me

In this, my darkest despair
Lost in melancholy
Drenched in agony, in ruins.

Under blood ridden skies
Reflect my eyes
Full of pain
Under blood ridden skies
I close my eyes
To the pain

I won't take heed
Refuse to believe
It's ludicrous
To me

Unreachable destiny
Of kindled desires never known
Furies siege to thwart
Nor shall they ever be

Invincible in my quest
But shan't escape impunity
The scars, the wounds
Damnation
Be not in vain
In adversity

I'd die a... thousand deaths through
The aqueous cascade... of my tears

Eternal suffering
Drowning in currents of my woe
The last breathe that I take
I still shall not forego

Invincible in my quest
But shan't escape impunity
The scars, the wounds
Damnation
Be not in vain
In adversity

If I died a... thousand deaths through
These aqueous cascades... of my tears
I'd stand by... my fortitude
In the hope for just... one day

Missiles and knives, lances and manacles
Wild seas, earthquakes and tornadoes
Snow, wind and rain, the elements of creation
Won't desist my adoration

In torment I'll recall
What the conflicts for
I'll not resort to defeat
(May the carnage emerge)

Shan't relinquish, for...
I'm anguished yet still with faith
For a lifetime I would toil
'til I fall at your embrace

I've died a... thousand deaths through
These aqueous cascades... of my tears
And stood by... my fortitude
In the hope for just... one day

My life's for you, and I'll take you to my demise
Poignant and forlorn
I have sworn an oath for you

I hear whispers,
Through your frostbitten eyes
I don't want you to be,
The subject of my demise
Before you go
I want you to know

Your time will come
Sweet retribution
Your time will come
In high dudgeon

Your tempestuous words
Provoke a mirror of hostility
I refuse to let you
Make a fool out of me
Before you go
I want you to know

Your time will come
Sweet retribution
Your time will come
In high dudgeon

I will not feel contrite
Retaliation feels so right
With vengeance I'll take you down
Elation at seeing you crawl

I will not feel contrite
Retaliation feels so fucking right
With vengeance I'll take you down
Elation at seeing you crawl... on the ground

Now I'm seething
Hope you feel the pain
I asseverate chastisement

Your time will come...
Sweet retribution
Your time will come
In high dudgeon
Your time will come
Sweet retribution
Now go...
Your time will come

You'd take my life from me
You show no empathy
This shroud concealing what you'll never see
The poisoned truth has been unveiled
You asseverate in broken words that's so hard to hear
Emphatic rejection
I'll remain arcane

This mask of apathy
The scars beneath
Reveal the echo of this solitary slave
This unrequited desire
Lies in a void of sorrow
Asphyxiated from my yearning to embrace

You'd take my life from me
You show no empathy
This shroud concealing what you'll never see
The poisoned truth has been unveiled
You asseverate in broken words that's so hard to hear
Emphatic rejection
I'll remain arcane

Your touch would sanctify
My forbidden lust
Consumed and unrelenting
A tomb of passion's fear
This weakened fool I've become
I long to taste
Rejuvenate the memory of the life you took away

You'd take my life from me
You show no empathy
This shroud concealing what you'll never see
The poisoned truth has been unveiled
You asseverate in broken words that's so hard to hear
Emphatic rejection
I'll remain arcane

Leave me alone
You'll never be the one
Live with the deprivation
You're not my aspiration
Won't let you ascertain
Don't darken my door again
Leave me alone
You'll never be the one

You'd take my life from me
You show no empathy
This shroud concealing what you'll never see
The poisoned truth has been unveiled
You asseverate in broken words that's so hard to hear
Emphatic rejection
I'll remain arcane

You're my formidable mistake
My nightmare whilst I was awake
Asphyxiation by dissensions
I've severed the ties and perturbations
Elated to respire again
Wretched out the thorn from my side
Thoughts of you I cannot abide

But now I am healing
I'm finally breathing
How the times have overturned
Harsh lessons I have learnt

Your contradictions and bile
Those sordid ways, you really are vile
I escaped the conceited
So sanity prevails
Damn you and your what could have been
Repents are irrevocable
Curse myself for being so gullible

But now I am healing
I'm finally breathing
How the times have overturned
Harsh lessons I have learnt

You were my formidable mistake

But now I am healing
I'm finally breathing
How the times have overturned
Harsh lessons I have learnt

Silence in this lonely room
That once was full of you
It is deadly still now
Through the cries of anger
Since that ill-fated day
Thoughts never fade away
It still sickens me now
Pain still overwhelms me

You're haunting me
How could I be so obtuse?
To put my trust in you

The letters and lies and the telephone calls
Revulsion for myself
To keep these sentiments
I can't take anymore
Contempt is nurturing

You're haunting me...

Now rotting is my love for you
For what you put me through
For that blade in my heart
That you still keep twisting
Resent that you can laugh
Want you to feel the pain
Of that I am going through
Will these wounds ever heal?

You're haunting me...
You're haunting me
You're hurting me...
I'd like to tear your heart out!

Temptation you could not resist
Of kissing poisoned lips
May hell take you down!
May you suffer what's due to you!

You're haunting me...
You're haunting me
You're hurting me...
I'd like to rip your heart out
You're hurting...
You're taunting me
But still when I think of love it's you that I'm thinking of.
You're killing me, you're crushing me
But still when I think of love it's you that I'm thinking of

Your departure is as though a death
But it will not let me grieve
Indignation and resentment is all that you leave

Claustrophobic, suffocate
Your suffering I thrive
Wrapped in chains in this cocoon
Twisted bliss as you writhe
Tare my nails upon the wall
Relish in your weeping
Masochistic
Rapturous at your weakening

Suicide

Acrid taste of wicker lips
With seeping lips you cower
Skin and stone you'll never leave
Delirious with my power
Humbled through my penitence
Reprieve is up to me
Caressing violent
For I'm your deity

Decadence

Before you crawl to the door
Before you try to escape
Remember one thing
I've got the key

Claustrophobic, suffocate
In this my witching hour
Wrapped in chains in this cocoon
You I will devour
Tare my nails upon the wall
Pity won't come to me
Masochistic
Salvation will not cure me

Suicide

Before you crawl to the door
Before you try to escape
Remember one thing
I've got the key

Ravish dutifully
I'm the sinner you see
You've found the fiend in me
Savagely
Leaving imprints where you've been
Mesmerizing
Nonchalantly
Claws against the skin
Let the fun begin
Sordidly
I'm in ecstasy
As you beg for me

Your darkest fears I shall embrace
Deity

He as master, you the tamed
From reticence he will thrive
Forsake this grinning malice
For the beast that rides...
Within his soul, fast approaches
Your flesh is his goal
Affliction by foul callous tongue
Bequeath him his elation

Shrivel in his presence not
Nor dictations of this coward
Hence whilst you are the demure
You shall remain the reward
This seducer of malevolence
Deems you perpetually his own
He shall relish in delight
This madman of the night

You want to leave?
Come follow me

His decadence is taking over
You have the chance to run from indignity
This is your life
You have a right

He wants to ravish, punish you, do what he wants
Elated by your sufferings
Let him subsist in iniquity
Flee from the perils of his offerings
And of all else he hath found guilty
Eyes that lead to a nefarious mind
Beseech you to enter in
Tormented & damaged you're caught in his world
You long freedom from his mordant words

You want to leave?
Come follow me

His decadence is taking over
You have the chance to run from indignity
This is your life
You have a right

Don't look back as you will reminisce on good times
And forget about that poisoned kiss and forgive him

His decadence is taking over
You have the chance to run from indignity
This is your life
You have a right

Run!

Memories for these moments under a midnight sky
Melancholy moon, paler skin than I
Wondering eyes emptiness has shone
That searched for the answers since you were gone

Spellbound, caressed by sanguine
Yet vitreous tears descend where you should have been
Forbearance in this solitude
Bereft of my love in all its plenitude

Lone silhouette comforts me through eventide
Though no substitute to you by my side
I long to be safe in the haven of your arms
To feel that protection miles away from harm

In deepest sleep
A divine prophecy
It whispers rumours to me
Of perceptions hard to conceive

Serendipity spiralled deep into my soul
Made me immortal in Elysium
Sweet reminiscence, take me back to paradise
The realms this infatuation was devised

Spellbound, caressed by sanguine
Yet vitreous tears descend where you should have been
Forbearance in this solitude
Bereft of my love in all its plenitude

I'll endeavour to find comfort in the night
And walk with you when I close my eyes from sight
An incantation imbues me with delights
Perpetual devotion I cannot indite

In deepest sleep
A divine prophecy
It whispers rumours to me
Of perceptions hard to conceive

Silence embraces me
It kisses me so tenderly
A touch, as though a ghost of you
This fervour I hold onto
The moon still and reticent
Yet emanates of light and of hope
As I live for the promise that you gave
That you shall return one day... to me

Silence embraces me
It kisses me so tenderly
A touch, as though a ghost of you
This fervour I hold onto
The moon still and reticent
Yet emanates of light and of hope
As I live for the promise that you gave
That you shall return one day
