All I Ask of You
I seek the immortality that breathes within you, the forbidden language spoken only by the
Ancient ones!
I seek the essence that pours from your lips, that liquid awash from passions kiss!
I damn my own soul in payment for the caress of your own, I cast aside morality and
virtue, to Just once touch your fire, to dance in the flame that is you!
Torture holds no fear to me, torment an ally that allows me to finally feel something,
denied in This mortal realm!
My tears are not the water of weakness, they flow from the rivers of belief, I embrace the
salt in My wounds!
If love hurts, Jealousy burns and possession repels then feed me, I do not belong to the
land of the pure!
I know the truth and it was born of pain, give to me your vengeance, that I may finally
arise from The ashes!
Supplicant I kneel before you, set free this wind that my fire may grow!
This is all I ask of you!
