Last Good-Bye

This is where you opened my naked soul The dark cold river in within the dead eyed fish The black swans eying the lonely moon You rise like a spear clutching a gun... my gun The gun that burned stoned woods with the heat of my love The gun that opened the skies and rained it with agony Agony of a lonesome lover trying to kill the devil within him Trying to escape the foggy grounds and blooded graves You walked towards me with soft nude footsteps My heart doth tumble to the sound of an angel breath Striking my blind eyes with the sun of your golden heart The heart that turned stony coffins to gold and black hearts to spring lullabies You halt and search for air as your eyes turn lavish red Your lungs feel like stone and rigid rocks but no river there to water the pain You bend towards me and tears crash on me like hailing grenades I shout out your name and tell you I'm here... But I am trapped in the lonesome grounds of the dead Gods You look at me and strike a smile then cry You hold up the gun while saying the last good-bye: "We once were one and now you left me Left me alone in the dark even when you promised that you won’t You left a broken soul that no mending can it receive But you are mine and we are entwined As I'll crash in the bed of roses over your grave And fill the earth with my blood... The blood of your love I will spill it to the ground The blood that will ingrain trees of love birds The blood that will tell the dead who we are The blood that will teach Romeo and Juliet what is love..." … Bang... I hear the sound of death... I hear you are lying next to me once again ... But now forever.
