Above Forever

Biting into the dead, he tastes the aftertaste of burnt ashes! The meal of her emotions, buried alive within silken strands. Blood inside sorrow burning, sweet desire weeping... Yet, it cannot possibly extinguish his pain. Bleeding heartbreaks do not expire. His eternal torment is fortified. Into two pieces he is equally divided. One who feels he has his back against the wall! The other who has not a care. Free falling teardrops, salted within life's passionate carnage. Nails in his mouth for he is iron born, attaching beauties have felt his plunging sword. His sanctuary is a dream catcher. He's stuck inside it's Web, hanging there above forever, until she takes his last breath away. Always now, in this moment was he formed. Long before time, he was destined to be hers Until they meet again his heart pauses. He will not know eternal glory, until her love courses through his veins! As he has promised, he will succumb to her The angels then will sing Rejoicing bells will ring out grateful notes Both will finally atone for their sins! A collaboration with Liam Mcdaid. Thanks for accepting my invitation. When Liam first sent over his verses I had no idea where we would end up. I thought you might find the process of interest. Here are the words Liam started us off with. Biting into the dead remains of ashes burnt buried alive blood inside sorrow burning sweet desire weeps bleeding heartbreaks in two divided one who has had the back against a wall Freefalling teardrops within life's passion nails in the mouth attacking beauties sanctuary a dream catcher stuck inside a Web hanging there forever until you take my last breath away always yours until we meet again eternal glory as angels will sing rejoicing bells ring grateful I hope you enjoy the inside look.
