Kiss Of Death


An angel brought the kiss of death
With the scent of decay heavy on her breath

Hair strands like razor blades
Cutting deep into my flesh I began to fade

Heart palpitations made me panic
As the illusions in her eyes made me manic

The curse of her black magic
Brings death and despair so tragic

Her lips are carmine red
Painted with the blood of the dead

I could have set her on fire
But I'm a slave to my own desire

Her claws dig into my chest bringing pain
Covering the floor in sin and stain

Our muffled breaths are brawling
As my will to live keeps falling

Brought down to my knees
Broken and beaten I plead...please

But an angel brought the kiss of death
With the scent of decay heavy on her breath

This doesn't sound like any angel I have met. This Angel of death needs to be avoided at all cost.
