Ghoulish Soul
Give me not time or day
For my life is set to fade
Dreams surreal into the realm
I live as If I'm alone on film
Kiss me not upon the lips
Shun me from your tenderness
Against the dawn dark prowls
I taste of past and swallow now
My body declines will my mind live
My soul succumbs my spirit rived
Into the black I seek light
Borrowed wings I soar to flight
Red the earth blue the sea
Heaven above forsake mercy
The gates are locked back I fall
Spiraling down Hell's wall
Dead faces refuse to see
No prayers to lift me
Blood streams from the wall
Stain earth restrains my fall
Devil nor angel free nor slave
I toss and turn within the grave
Beneath I hear the ground break
Demon hands my soul take
Into an abyss of roaring flames
I hear the whispers wisp my name
Against the will of my damned soul
I accept and let it go
Through mist of spirit vapor
From Satan's lung I escape her
As the fog kisses the shore
Back to earth I deplore
Haunting life I cannot be
Taunting beings without mercy
Taking down bitter souls
I mock the gift my hands stole
