lyrics

They fell from the sky
and left a crooked smile on her face.
She wept at our misfortune.
Alas, she dies. She dies.
When I had learned we'd go our separate ways...
When I had learned.
The scars we share forged a bond.
If I had only known you.
Dying.
Wistful.
I'll find you in the darkness.
She burns for me -
just for me.
Dark vixen, you betrayed my innocence,
but I've returned to put an end to you.
The lies I told myself left me paralyzed.
I must admit how much I've missed you.
Dear child.
Do you long for the past?
If you are searching for God,
I am the way.
Your soul, like glass, will shatter, when small fractures become a web.
Don't worry.
I'll be here for you -
Collecting the shards.
I like a challenge.
I like the pain.
I feel victorious.
You and I, we're the same.
See the shadows taking hold of
unconscious minds, wise and bold.
A deeper self becomes aware,
possessing me through midnight's stare.
If victory is my enemy,
then death must be my friend.
Hearts unite with tragedy,
but souls... They cannot mend.
I loathe the silence,
calming the night.
I need the conflict.
Her eyes, elated.
Her tongue, serrated.
Can you see the writing on the wall? This is
my world. My time. You brought shame when you
left us, and I was born. Now it's
too late. You're too late.
And when the stars collide, will you beg for life or death?
Bodies mangled.
Stoic expressions.
They'll watch us murder.
Their morals, corrupted.
Intentions hidden.
So you came to destroy paradise?
Others have tried. They tried, and they failed.
I'll send you back to the abyss.
But wait...
Young woman,
stunning demure.
Dare I ask for her name?
She plants the seed of terror,
but we are drawn
to the chaos.
The saccharine smile of calamity,
like the warm embrace of serenity.
Hypnotized by beauty
and glowing green eyes.
My heart melts, and I am yours.
Offer your sin as salvation -
a candle to light you to bed.
Let us sail away in an ocean of rainbows.
I am the reason.
I am the wrath.
Embrace the carnival, and
bid farewell to the flesh.
The devil walks on water.
She soars above the clouds.
A temptress - curious motives.
My beacon - nigh, a friend.
Lead us to the end of the world.
Guide us beyond the bounds of time.
Don't ever forget your love for this world.
The memories remain beneath the rubble.
I drew your portrait in my mind.
You've changed. You're not what I remember.
It's hard for me to see you this way.
Only I can set this right.
Her mouth is full of poison,
and I consume every word.
She moves to a different song.
Darling, may I have this dance?
