Angelus Ex Amore

Heart beat slows, blood stream flows

All the same direction, just as intended, the way life goes 

Upwards, and downwards, the choice is not our own

But in the end, you welcomed me home, and we were more then friends 

You kept my life, I carried yours, you were my beating heart, my tongue without need for word

I could tell by the way you looked at me, time was running short

If I knew I couldn't keep you, I would have ran much sooner

To use my tounge, and hear my heart

Instead I hear yours seemingly cease to stop beating

I said it once, I said it twice, you were my fire, you were my ice

You kept me sane, you showed me nice

But now I say good bye

Though it hurts beyond words to describe, to hold your head and watch you die

As I look into those eyes, one last time, one last I hold you close

Refusing to ever let you go

Though you're gone, I won't be far, drifting close behind I see

The green glow of your entity

I leave my body down where you lay your head

Without your love, I was already dead
