the fire cast its shadow

tounges caught in the night

never to be captured

never to see the light

rejected all salvation

a thorn in every hand

dark is the devotion

pearls lost in the sand



how I wish I knew it then

feel evil crawl in

embracing me again



you know I'm all but sorry

your cold caress can't heal me

this hurt is mine alone

a cancer growing in my bones

would you face the struggle?

see it just as I?

or forever close your eyes

and let the stormclouds pass on by



a slave to my desire

crimson honey on my lips

order of the process

dead red passion trip

I don't have the answer

and you don't need to know

sundown over the wastelands

echoes from below

and now it has been done
